Good morning Jacki,
Just sitting here having completed a sudoku (without any mistakes) and feeling blessed. I have a wonderful friend (you) who starts my morning with creativity and humor: what's not to like? And in about and hour I am going to sneak off from my responsibilities and go paint among friends for a couple of hours. The short video (wheels) pulled at my heart -both because it showed what kindness and acceptance of our similarities and differences can make. But also because it made me focus on how wrong the direction our country is going in constantly causing one group to side against another.
I forwarded your last blog on Kirsty to a friend, and she replied that it brightened her day also. Just know you and your talent and willingness to continue this for us for so long are truly appreciated.

. Thank you Carrol, your kind words boost me on to find new stuff! I am glad you liked it. There are amazzing things happening out there, but the news is fillled with the too real negatives, it's difficult to be sane. I am glad you are painting with friends today, have fun.

Jacki, I share Carrol's thoughts but I can't express them as well as she does. I too appreciate you creating such an interesting and positive blog each and every day, no matter how you feel or was else you have to do. It's my joy in the evening to come here and find so much positivity after a long day with often really disturbing news. So I can go to bed knowing there are still many kind people in this poor world. Thank you so much, Jacki!

Thank you, dear Elenor. Don't forget, you are one of those kind people in this mixed-up planet. I so appreciate your feedback, and almost daily! How kind!
