This could be one of so many days where I do almost 
the same thing at the same time of day, every day? 

well-curated junk mail ready for auditions for collage.
I did play in two old unfinished journals and 
I will probably select a page for tomorrow's blog art 
like I did yesterday, here.


It is a fun Rx to just sit, tear paper, and paste @ random.



What's your Rx? I hope you'll share it?

Each dinner comes with an entree, one side, and dessert for $10. Lazy Dog is currently offering five different options, plus their long time favorite chicken pot pie.

Can you imagine wanting to make sure you drove by a 
certain gas station every day?  Just to see what the message 
was on the chalkboard?    It's true -- a gas station has 
become quite a landmark in Gauteng, South Africa, 
with its daily #PetrolPumpWisdom, which are 
uplifting quotes are written on a chalkboard. 
Some people say they deliberately travel this route 
just to read the the quote which brightens their day.
 
       The  lady behind this wonderful initiative is Alison Billett.HydeParis is Alison Billett.     She told SA   People: 
 “We inherited the board from the previous owner, Dick Hutton, when we bought the filling station from him almost 20 years ago.   “We continued the tradition and it has become a landmark – more so now that it’s on social media!  
 
            
 
“Not a day goes by when I don’t get a call or a visit 
from someone to tell me how much they appreciate the message. 
It seems that every day there’s something that just speaks 
to what is going on in someone’s life and 
that inspires or motivates them.

“Having people come and tell me their stories and how 
the quote helped them in some small way is what motivates 
me to keep writing!  “We use a variety of quotations – 
some are topical, some are funny, some are inspirational, 
some even reflect what is going on in my life that day!  
   
“Different things appeal to different people...   
 
 
“The boards have appeared many times in newspapers 
and magazines and been spoken about    
 on radio stations all over the world."
