G'head and ask......


I'll tell you about the amazing moment at the grocery store when the frazzled mom couldn't get the machine to read her debit card.  And I'd tell you about the clerk who was trying to help by entering the number again and again.  Sweet--but ineffective.
And I'd tell you how blessed I was to be waiting in line so I could tell the clerk to ring it up with my stuff so the mom could go home with the baby.
Wow.....talk about a JOYFUL moment......


G'head -- ask me how I am!!

I'll tell you about the 'WHOA' moment as the sunset formed a column up to the clouds.  It was amazing...

Seriously--When's the last time I made the time for sunset?
When's the last time bothered to stop on the way home to just BE?
....or did a random act of kindness.
....or shared something I've baked or made?
....or given a hug to someone even though I'm not the huggy kind?

Truth is, I get really tired of the realities I'm operating under today.  Don't we all.  Oh, but even though  the realities didn't change the past few days... I've sure wore them different.
And it mattered.

I'm gonna have GREAT fun with this one!  Already am!

Oh Mel...what JOYFUL moment that must have been for you AND the frazzled mom. I bet you MADE her day!

(((((((( You )))))))))

And also...that sunset photo is THE MOST gorgeous sunset I have EVER seen!

WHOA is right!

That column up to the clouds is Divine!

EnJOY the rest of your weekend, dear lady!

That lady will never forget you, Mel. As for hugs, the chairman of the TG gives me a hug every time she sees me.... I don't know why but I love it. It makes me feel welcome and wanted.

And Mel....how are you? [wink]

Just so you know....I think I just might be doing a little dancing. You just blessed the socks off me. I love your random act of kindness. That one will go on and on and on....from the cashier to the momma. Oh that is precious.

And the sunset? Yay God! He does make the most beautiful 'stuff' and you had your camera and could capture it. Many weeks ago...I saw a similar sunrise. Now had half the vibrancy and I couldn't get a decent photo through the screen in the window and when I went downstairs it couldn't be seen....so now...I can look at you even better sun experience.

Big hugs to you my friend. You are rockin' and rollin' this!!
