A fine evening
Here’s what got me smiling today: Sitting in my sweetie’s car, rear and back warmed by heated seats, delicious coffee drink in hand, gentle-yet-random music mix playing in the background, a calm dark evening outside, and my sweetie driving us … Continue reading
A veggie in a meat world
This afternoon, the grocery store was teeming with free samples. I’m usually not a fan of the items being offered, so most of the time I stay a few feet back from the sample stands, keep my gaze averted from … Continue reading
A horn of plenty
Thursday mornings I volunteer at a local elementary school. I begin the morning by helping a few kids 1-on-1, then I teach an enrichment lesson to the entire class. In the past, the lessons I have created have been largely … Continue reading

One man, many views
While out running errands today, I pushed my cart down the aisle of a store, and crossed paths with an older man. He looked to be in his 80s, and was thin, frail, and stooped over from osteoporosis. He also … Continue reading
Party on
As I was walking from work this afternoon, I caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye. I turned, looked, stopped, saw, and smiled. (Look at the bottom middle window. Click on the picture to enlarge … Continue reading
Smile, kiddo.
