Today is my first day to join and become a member of this giving group. I have already smiled at two non-smiley faces and received smiles in return. I visited with a friend I haven't seen for years for a bit. My son couldn't come home this weekend to pick up some tamales he ordered, so I picked them up and took them to my daughter who will take them to him in Arkansas when they go for Thanksgiving. I called a couple who are close friends, but who aren't retired and it is hard to get together with them. Made a date to meet them in town for supper and a nice long visit. I stopped and got my husband a hamburger so he didn't have to stop what he was doing to make himself something to eat. I feel good and they day still has a lot of time to go. I am going to try and include an image of my grandson and his baby daughter that is too cute. He is smitten. Someone will smile when they see how little it takes to make them happy.
I call them the Tupperware heads. :-)
Have a happy day and spread some sunshine around to those who need a brightness in their day.

Welcome Cally. Wonderful start. ML
I took a walk today
to a place I'd never been, but the sights I'd foreseen
no longer occupied by preoccupations.
What possibly could all this mean
I took that walk, Somehow I'd mastered the art of the flustered mind and that remained perturbed by m…
Wow, you inspire me. Thanks.
I have been so busy that i haven't had time to blog! I give something
every day and I challenged the women who attended the seminar to 29 day

What great stones and so many days of gift giving to those who I love!
I just said a little prayer for Jeff, ML. I hope he can be as comfortable as possible, and I certainly hope his family can cope. My Uncle died from a brain tumor a few years ago, It is not only hard on the person going through it, it is devastating…

After lots of time trying, we managed to find new homes for our two outdoor cats. I was very grateful to find them a good place but also really sad to see them go. I wish those kitties the very best! I took care of the process of taking the catching…
