Photo Challenge – Indulge

So many ways one can indulge! One of my favorite ways to indulge is by spending the night in a fancy hotel room. As a matter of fact, I think I could live quite nicely in a room like this. These beds were so soft and comfy. Actually, I have been in nicer suites, but…

Create The Day – With Compassion

Once again it’s time to Create The Day; this week the theme is compassion. This reminds me of the photo challenge because the first week I jumped into it the word was regret. I wondered, “how can I photograph regret?” This is kind of similar, link up a post about compassion. I don’t even know…

Mom

My mom is one of the most compassionate people I know, not in a gushy or weepy way, but in a very practical way. Right after high school she went to nursing school and became an RN. She took care of people her whole life. By the time I was 3 she decided she should stop working…

Weekly Photo Challenge – Down

Create The Day – Week 3

Create The Day With Kindness! Sound strange? Every time you do something kind you are creating goodness and beauty in the world. A kind word can brighten someone’s day, it might even change their outlook on life. Inviting your neighbor over for tea, giving a little gift or a hug, there are so many ways…

Kind Neighbors

I have 2 neighbors that will go out of their way to be kind. The old fashioned type of kind that we sometimes miss in this busy, hectic world. One neighbor will give me vegetables from her garden in the summer. If she has extra food or anything she will share it, and she’ll always…
