My dog Coco lightens the spirit

Walking with my little guys to school refreshes

Having strangers smile back and wave at me

Time for resting

Recalling dreams

Getting rid of stuff accumulated, not needed

Having reached out to someone in need

Remembering someone who has passed and picturing them watching over me

Omg Kacey she pushes hard with her nose on the toy to squeak it. The way she does it looks adorable. She’s even tried to make people squeak this way. 😂

I love what you wrote of being lucky to have a roof over your head and people who love you...sometimes I wish for a different house, a different area, a new flooring etc but really we are kept safe and are living with warmth and water and food that can all be taken for granted. And I get annoyed with people I live with but I forget how much love there is between us.

in reply to Starrlight

I know , we can all sit and think what we would like and that is normal but sometimes just looking round and taking note of what we have can make you feel grateful as so many don't have anything :-(

Hope your day has not gone to bad and you are feeling a little better :-) x

Wow yes. What you point out about some having nothing makes me think of the hurricane victims and makes me think of how Mother Teresa gave love and cared for the poorest of the poor. My day went beautifully when I really put it into perspective. Hoping you had a good one too! 😊

Past midnight here Starrlight which makes it Saturday in the UK , so will wish you a lovely evening and look round you and think of what you have rather than what you would like , I do , it stops me wanting what I can't have , as long as you have peace of ind as well which money can't buy :-)

Thanks Ellie! I just love her. Too bad she doesn’t appriciate my hugs most of the time and I can’t help myself; have to hug her!

What type of dog do you have?

You’re doggie’s face is cute too! Yes to encounter deer and hummingbirds is magic. 🧚‍♂️

I love

I'm free to do as I please. If I don't want to do the washing up I don't do it. If I want to go for a walk I go.

my house and the wonderful scenery.

stunning sunsets and rainbows and thunder storms.
