Beautiful moodiness, good things and random kindness

- My photo woes continue until I go the phone store and open my wallet.  Meanwhile - here is a photo that a friend took of clouds over the 'burbs this week.  Love the beautiful moodiness of it.

- And this was interesting - I get daily emails from PureWow, who targets an audience closer to the age of the woman in the photo in the link.  (Click on red link to view.)  Check out the "secrets to lifelong happiness" and item 2, in particular.  They may be on to something!  :)  Hmmm - wonder where that idea came from???

- Item 3 on the link is something I have been consciously doing more than once a day - extending acts of kindness.  There is so much turmoil in the news every day, not only internationally, but all around us, that I want to make sure everyone experiences something nice from me, if possible.  It might be holding the door for someone, letting someone go ahead of me in traffic, a kind word to someone who needs it.  It's the least I can do.

 I hope your day is going well and that you have a lovely weekend!

Wish you were here, pretty smart and doing this and not that

- Wish I was sitting in there reading a book right now.  A "meditation" area at the Hamilton Gardens in Hiawassee, Georgia.  I had no photo for today, but decided this one was definitely worthy of sharing, and it "spoke" to me this morning.

- Visiting a printing client who has just had a baby and loving the reaction from the three-year-old big sister, who showed the birth announcement proof to the sleeping baby (who was blissfully oblivious.)  The three-year-old wanted to walk out with me and see my car.  I looked at her mother, who said, "Oh - she is really into cars now."  Little Claire looks at the front of my car and pronounces it a "Toyota."  I am astounded - her mom says she has learned all car logos.

- Nearing home about two hours earlier than usual for a work day and thinking it was too early for a walk (too hot).  But it wasn't too early for a spa pedicure!  Loving the quiet of the nail salon and the back massage given by the spa chair.  And choosing the color is half the fun:  OPI's "Quarter of a Cent-Cherry."
