“Spouse Assistant!” Gas up her car for our wedding travels tomorrow✅ Drive her car through the Blue Lagoon car wash✅ Pick up her dry cleaning✅
Pat our dog’s head/Ooops! That’s my job!
Assistance to spouse or dog, each has its own reward. Pay is about the same. 🤔Doing for and giving to others each has it’s own reward.
Playing fetch with Buster the kitty? That indeed provides its own warm, fuzzies. From each according to his own abilities; to each according to his needs.
A question… In the vein of everything can be this; everything can be that — Can our generosity be enabling and/or a block to growth? Something all parents have likely wrestled with. 😉 And I’ll bet every kid is different!
I tend to agree. In middle school my son would wait to the last minute for a school project to be turned in. Of course one doesn’t see that coming easily! “Hey dad?” he’d begin. “I need some foam core board, and...” Watch dad fly! Watch dad grit his teeth!!
Invariably some further assistance (enabling?) was needed. Usually due the next morning, refusing to support his request felt like I wasn’t supporting him. Perhaps I was, but not supporting responsibility and accountability.
Drawist has captured a beauty in her drawing today. For me, drawing human portraits have never been a strong suit. Today I cast myself as a detective viewing photos of knife wounds created by the killer in my story. What kind of knife was used I wonder?
Yes, it's part of The Peace Lily Murders that I am writing. And I agree about looking back at progress. Sometimes when I look at the progress that I make with somethings, it makes me wonder why I didn't try or think of certain things sooner.

You have snowflakes? We have 58° currently. More in the bright, bright sunshine. 🌞
Fortunately we have colder weather returning over the weekend; I worry about our bulbs getting the wrong idea and having a bad, no-good, very cold February. And then freeze-burned leaves in March. ☹️
Yes, that! Cold day requirements for plants & bulbs here in Florida are almost negligible. Our recent string of 6 nights below freezing, even below 20° a couple nights, has our plants acting like it’s mid February! A history here for April freezes is hard to ignore. 🤷🏽

Thank you Pennie! It is fun to look back and see how far I’ve come with the pencils!
A detective with knife wounds… oh my!

58 and bright SUNSHINE!!!
I need one of the glow lights that emits vitamin D. It is so gray and damp here.
Aren't plants amazing though? They almost always rebound.
