Dauntless



Friend Angie says jonquils always make her smile . . . she is right they really do . . . the first to pop up in the late of winter or early spring snows.    Yellow the color of hope.



Hey there cutie!!!    Now that is wishful thinking.   My friend, Mary, sent this along this morning and it was captioned one word essays.   There were many pictures and hopefully you will receive the same attachment on an e mail as there were so many to make us smile.    I think this one was called tenacity and he looks like he is really tenacious.



Hope . . . a will to do more. . . a desire to do ones best under very trying circumstances.  I'm betting she does wonders as she grows.



Now this could be getting a little help from big brother.    I wondered if he followed her out.    You just cannot take your eyes off of them for a second.    Doggie doors have a new meaning.

I love pictures as they tell such stories and can make you laugh out loud, or cry rivers of tears.     Hopefully you share your pictures with family and friends.     It is so nice to be included in a bragging bout as some one friend approaches with a whole strip of pictures of their loved ones.     There comes a time when pictures are more meaningful than others.  A time when you go back in time and see the faces of those you loved all of your life and have gone on to their reward and all that is left are memories that help you to accept and relive the years when you shared all of the up and downside of life.     So take time to get out the old albums and 'thumb' through them.  You will find yourself laughing and crying not in sadness but in memories to good not to be relived.     It is a good time to make a collage using pinking shears to fit the picture corners together and frame the pictures so you can hang it in the hallway.  Every time you pass by you see the faces and places that mean the most to you, and what a treat you are in store for as you glance and your smile widens as you remember a special time with that special person who has grown old right along with you.    You grin, you chuckle and think  . . . yeah, I'm going to call today and make sure I spread a little joy to someone I truly love.  A little communication goes a very long way in making time stand still so you can catch up with one another.     Don't let distance be the bad guy;   you have so many means and ways to communicate these days . . . so today communicate.  Hugs to all.
