Honesty is one of our core values.

Or shoot some hoops! :)

You’re right! And we have a hoop and basketballs. I could certainly do that.

And in a random twist of association… the basketballs are on the same shelf as my rollerblades. I could rollerblade! :)

Step outside usually does the trick...shift to what I hear, see, smell to get out of my head. :) Thank you for this one today Gail.

Thank you Julie! Henny and I enjoyed a nice long walk on wooded trails. We saw 3 deer, tons of squirrels and chippies, and a few smiling faces.

Ahhhh! 😁

This morning, my Scribe wrote someone an Endorsement letter… It was win/win!

Good for him to write it, good for her to receive it…

Finding a way to somehow be of service to someone else… sharing a bit of humor, replying to a post like this one and reminding the sender how much they’re appreciated… Telling someone how much you appreciate their smile… Reminding someone how grateful you are for their presence… Telling someone how much you miss them… Thanking someone for the service they provided…

Basically anything to get my Scribe out of his head and into his heart…

I wasn't familiar with that Edison quote but it's fabulous and will stick with me for a long while. Thank you!

You’re welcome.

I recently pulled a book from my shelf that Margaret O’Brien pulled my attention to several years ago. When I first received the book I was truly engaged — I read the chapters on repeat. After a couple of years break, I’m fascinated as I am reading it again. I can see how the writing and stories have become a part of me.

I share this because it’s a book about possibilities, but in no way does it tell you “how to”.

Here’s a link in case you are interested:
