Hello to all - so happy to have you here. I hope you are all safe and well this fine day.
This morning it is 54*F and fairly clear. I have been out already to feed everyone, fed Bits, had my breakfast drink, and contimplating the day.
Yesterday was another beautiful day here. Full blue skies and sunny. It got into the low 80's yesterday. Today should be in the 70's. I was looking at a forecast prediction map for my area - and the rest of the month looks pretty darn good. Nothing cold and nothing too hot. I am loving this.
We have no idea what is going on in other people's lives behind closed doors. It could be anything. Health issues, abuse, financial woes, spiritual struggles, loneliness, depression, anything.
Just something as small as a smile or kind word, could maybe make them realize that they are seen or heard and that they matter!
What a gift to give. AND it costs you nothing! AND it could be the best gift someone ever received!
I am so grateful to have you all here. I love to see new people comment. I earn nothing from this little blog, but I receive so much. I see lives that are helped, lives that are touched, and I see strangers that have become caring and thoughtful friends - from all over the world and all walks of life. That makes me smile each and every day!!!! THANK YOU!
I hope you all have a great weekend and remainder of the week. May you enjoy good weather and safety, and wishing you all health and happiness.
Go out and make a change!!!!

What a lovely post! You are right, Cheryl, there's no telling what others are going through, and what our behaviour can mean to them.
ReplyDeleteThe birthday cake turned out well. It wasn't quite as big as I remember, so I think you're right, the box mix now has less in it than many years ago, so needs fewer eggs than in the past. But it was tasty and the chocolate glaze was just right. I was pleased that I had ancient chocolate, old Baker's Chocolate squares from years ago. One was all I needed to make the glaze so I have more for another day.

Thanks. It can change everything for some.
DeleteYAY - I knew you would make it work. Everything is downgraded in size anymore - so we have to be careful and watch.
Glad it was a success and that you still have chocolate squares left!
A kind word, a gesture can make a person's day. My neighbor Karen said she has seen Jesus in some of the people who work at the heart hospital where she has been for over a week. That should be our goal...genuine reflection of love for the Messiah.
ReplyDeleteYour posts are interesting and actually very friendly. Just like you! Who wants to read about someone's $$$$ they spend? I have noticed on Instagram that ladies are featuring older homes and are unapologetic for not following the latest tend. It seems the 1980's and 1990's (and older) have returned! Same way with their wardrobe.
Today is beautiful! Yesterday was nice too, but windy. We sat in the sukkah for a while and the curtains that I hung were really flapping around. Going to hand some clothes on the line today.
We have green beans left so I am going to make a lentil vegetable soup for lunch. Should have enough for tomorrow.
Enjoy your weekend! See you on Sunday!
I agree - our aim is to be 'Christ' like when we can be. No way we can be the same - but we can try!
DeleteWell, I have always heard that all things go back around every 30 years or so, and I believe it. Guess I am right in line!!! LOL - with my old things.
It is gorgeous out. I sure do appreciate each of these days - someday in the near future we will be thinking longingly about them! Soup sounds good! Enjoy
You are truly an inspiration to so many. You have helped me so often and lifted me up when I needed lifting. Bless you my dear friend.
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind. Thank you. I am glad that God put us together before it was needed and that we have truly helped each other over the miles.
DeleteI’m sitting at a bus stop (just missed my bus). I’ll say an encounter from yesterday. Waiting for the bus to go to the cemetery where my mom is buried, I began talking to a young black woman. I asked her if she was going to work. (The bus was late.) No she was going to school. We sat together on the bus. She said she was studying to be a nurse. I encouraged her. When she got off at the local community college she said she enjoyed talking with me. I enjoyed talking with her, too. Barbara M.
ReplyDeleteThose are the things I call God nudges. He puts us where we should be and we click. That is too neat. Here you are talking about her the day after, so she made an impression on you, and I bet you did on her as well. Love it.
