For a Good Summer...


Mend a quarrel


Search out an old friend


Dismiss suspicion


Show your trust


Write a letter


Share some treasure


Give a soft answer


Encourage youth


Manifest your loyalty


Gladden the heart of a child


Keep a promise


Find the time


Forego a grudge


Forgive an enemy


Open your heart


Apologize if you were wrong


Try to understand


Appreciate, be kind, be gentle


Think first of someone else


 Root out envy


Laugh a little more


Do a good job


Deserve confidence


Reach out


Fight prejudice


Express gratitude


Don't give up


Take pleasure in the beauty of nature


Give thanks to God for all good things!

Hi Therese, did you know you are an angel? This post is something we all can benefit from. We all need those little reminders of being the good people we were made to be. This is such a beautiful tribute to what the human soul is capable of.

I am hoping graduation went very, very well? I've been thinking about you as we went through our celebrations. My eldest daughter was the last to fly home today. Trying not to think how much I am going to miss them all. I'm going to work on laughing a little more, & to write a letters. That and forgive a grudge as they are ugly. Hugs to you and all my wishes for a great week xxoo deb

Dear Therese,
This post is amazing the words and photos help drive home the many messages we all can be better and can use reminders now and again.

You have shown me, there is kindness in the face of strangers of those we may not ever meet in person. It must be the cosmos that Suzanne of Privet and Holly posted about today. Your encouragement and advice to re carve out a path of creating is one that I am both grateful and thankful for. Destiny?
