Sense

This seems purposeful right now,
for a great many people.

I hope it finds who needs it ...

The things

that make you happy

don't have to make sense

to anybody else.

Be so bold

as to simply be yourself.

Believing

This is a great little tidbit.

Both fear and faith

ask you to believe

in something

you can't see.

You choose.

Simply ...

May this new day

go easy on your heart,

be gentle on your soul,

comfort your worries,

and grow your hope.

I pray for you all

to find peace today

and always ...

THIIIIS!!!!

Found and absolutely sharing ...

Forgive yourself

for not knowing earlier

what only time

can teach.

That's some good stuff!

Have a great day.

Ripples

and a discussion that we had yesterday,
what was started long ago ... has been completed.

I hope you enjoy!
Please let me know whatcha think ...

Ripples of Remembrance

by Lyn Marinello   2/17/26

 

Some Simon & Garfunkel, a stroll down a flowered aisle

An evening at a fresh fed spring; a babe's first precious smile

A walk along a sandy beach; a hike on wooded mount

Little bitty tiny things that really, truly count

The comradery of teammates; a recital all alone

Learning how to bait a hook or find the perfect skipping stone

Excitement for a formal; fingers interlaced

A multitude of magic of which we each are graced

Trophies gleaming on a shelf; poetry in tatters

Corsages pressed ‘tween pages; each recollection matters

Concert tickets, movie stubs, wine labels in a frame

A whopper of a catch at sea and its ever-increasing claim

Lace and beads and flowers, promises and rings

Sharing little tidbits of all your favorite things

Silly little phrases; road trips and dead ends

Dancing in the kitchen and laughter amongst friends

Complicated handshakes and tales of travel lore

Tears we cried at funerals while wishing there was more

Anniversaries with the masses; at Arlington ~ farewell Taps

Your waves may be different; some tsunamis, some gentle laps

With these ripples of remembrance, there's a certain ebb and flow

Emotional mementos; precious gifts we've had bestowed.

RAK

Today is
Random Acts of Kindness Day!

Whether you

buy the coffee for

the person behind you;

grab a grocery check out

for a stranger;

gift someone with 

a simple, honest compliment;

take a cart back,

help someone reach something,

assist with some arbitrary task,

or just graciously

share a beautiful smile ...

you simply do not know what good you are doing.

The ripples of randomness emanate from kindness

and reach places you may never know.

RAK 'em up, friends! 

Two Things

Love this
and it couldn't be
more true!

In life,

there are 

only two things

you can control ...

your effort

and your attitude.

Make good choices.
