Splurge!

Happy Thankful Thursday kids!

Today is National Splurge Day!!!

It's a day designated as your formal excuse

to break your own budget rules just a tiny bit.

But that premium coffee, order the fancy dinner,

grab that piece of jewelry that's been speaking to you,

and finally purchase that item that's been

sitting in your online shopping cart.

You've earned it!

And, apparently, today's the day!!!

I am grateful for you and for your support.

I am thankful for your friendship.

Have a beautiful Thursday.

Would love some feedback on this.
This is, obviously, not my norm but fell out of my fingers anyway.
I'm not opposed to new stuff, but dipping the toes is sometimes uncomfortable ...

Words
by Lyn Marinello   6/15/26

I can feel the pressure
of the waiting words
behind my eyes
within my heart
weight on my soul.

I summon the quiet,
clear the outside chatter
let my fingers
speak secrets
exorcise control.

Sometimes swayed
by current winds
blowing hot
blowing cold
tornadic.

Dutifully drawn
to share the gift
emotional
purposeful
sporadic.

Tuesday Tidbit

LOVE this!
Hope it finds its target ...

Let joy in.

Don't wait

for the perfect time

to feel good.

Make room

for small, present moments

of happiness.

Have a blessed Tuesday.

Hope

Good Monday morning, friends!
Here's a little mantra for your Monday ...

Always have hope.

Hope is the tiniest of things

that will not allow you

to give up.

When you have hope,

you keep going,

you see a glimmer,

there is opportunity.

Have a marvelous Monday

and a wonderful week.

A Spark of Joy

bringing a sudden burst of

brightness, encouragement,

KOKO

This is neither in reference to boxing or smooches ...
It is something else entirely ...

There is always

a blessing in disguise

in every situation.

Something far greater

Keep Believing.
