Kindness, Care, Words

 In the best of times

the kindness we give

elevates us....

In the worst of times

the kindness we give

defines us

Kind Care Can Be Given
At Not The Cost Of A Penny

But it always costs a moment of time

It always requires thinking

Beyond

Your

Self

In return 

Kindness dividends

In ways

No stock market can steal

No government can tax

No passage of time can ever erase

The Internet Really Makes Me Laugh Sometimes!

This reminded me...

Years ago, (and this is a true story) we had a possum

stay with us briefly sheltering in the corner an open out-building.

She had her new babies in tow. We immediately 

noticed that one was different. Ma Possum had adopted a 

tiny wayward orphaned kitten somewhere along her travels.

She raised it with great success.

The kitten* not only survived, it thrived.

Apparently happy & healthy it nursed and frolicked with

its possum brothers and sisters. Eventually they all moved on.

*I've often wondered if the little guy suffered from identity or lifestyle issues, lol*

 

On my jewelry bench

A peek at a piece currently 'in progress' on my jewerly bench at the moment....
(one of my lampwork beads, pearls, etc)

Well, on my leg actually lol

(too many bits spread out on the bench to take a picture I confess)

I find blue such a soothing and

calming color ~ to the eye and the heart.

Spring in NY

Ah April in NY....

The Excitement of "Spring"!

Look! Look!
You can see ground (amid the snow)

You can see the snow shovels!

(as opposed to having to dig them from a

drift so you can dig snow away from the walks and drive)

Look! More snow is gently falling

(as opposed to blowing horizontally at 45mph)

Only a "small accumulation" is expected today!

(not 10-14 inches)

Oh April in NY...

Relief at last! lol

And before anyone asks, no this is NOT an April fools joke*

(*this pic was added today a la my phone camera)

If only it was an April fools joke ...
