Seeing these blooms up close made me just relax and enjoy my last day cleaning at an animal hospital.

Happy Saturday and Labor Day!

Screaming Helps

  
Sometimes screaming is just the right way to process something. For example, last night I saw a hairy caterpillar (which I vacuumed up), and it was just so ugly (it had some of the featheriness of this flower) screaming made me feel so much better! Try it. 🙂

Love’s Colors

  
These colors feel like love to me…the soft faded edges with brightness in the middle.  Love has it’s flashes of passion, but also many tattered edges. I hope you remember how loved you are–by people around you or at least by God, who designed you.

Happy day after Valentine’s Day!

Happy All Saints Day!

We can celebrate all the people we know who show “saintly” qualities today, and we can ponder the official saints that have gone before us. We can learn from them and follow in their footsteps!
