Sunday Edition

Rather Rockwell-esque, eh?
As is the following.
Not my norm, but am enjoying
following my fingers.

I do hope you enjoy ...


Kind Words
by Lyn Marinello ~ 9/2026

Kind words
are like wild flowers ~
random seeds
strewn about …

and through the lushest soil,
or the grittiest sand;
atop the rockiest crag,
or through the slimmest pavement crack …
what you have watered
will sprout blossoms
of light and love
the likes of which
you may never witness

but … oh
the garden you have grown.

All The Things

Today there are many national celebrations.
Instead of taking each one separately,

I'm gonna mash 'em all together -

as they are of one ilk.

Are ya ready? 

...

It is 

National Hug and High 5,

Encouragement 

as we are

Just One Human Family

Day!!!

See what I mean?

Get out there.

Look to help one another,

be kind to one another,

and remember

that we are allllll connected.

9.11

The best way
we can honor

those lost on 9.11

is

to be the people

we were

on 9.12.

Thankful Thursday

This is not mine - but I'm sharing!!!

The more grateful

you become,

the more beauty

you begin to notice.

Abundance often starts

with appreciation.

Grateful for you.

Grateful for the day.

A Quiet Moment

Today ...
I am wishing you

A Quiet Moment

to embrace

that you are worthy,

to acknowledge

that you are precious,

to remember

that you are loved.

Have You Ever

Was cleaning over the weekend and came across this gem ~
tucked within a very old writing pad,
probably nearly 20 years old.
Not quite sure what was going on,
but it's fairly powerful ~ IMHO.
What do YOU think?


Have You Ever
by Lyn Marinello (unknown date)

Have you ever felt alone; on an island in a busy street
Standing almost weightless in the midst of many feet
Helpless in the dark on a bright, sun-shiny day
Not a soul to speak to as crowds shove you on your way
Have you ever felt abused without a mark to bare
Spent your energy on others and no one seems to care
Scream and shout frustrations and not a sound is heard
Try to make a difference; feel like all your effort is absurd
Have you ever tried to fit in – a peg without a hole
Given every corner of your heart and received a shattered soul
Put on airs of deepened ego in the shallow pool in which you swim
Restrained yourself reservedly while others danced at whim
Are you at all important? Is there purpose in your being?
Do your parents understand you and the evil from which you’re fleeing?
Do you matter? Do you count? Is there meaning to your life?
Do your children ever listen? Does your husband love his wife?
Are you integral at all? Is there intention to your days?
Can your kids or does your wife appreciate your ways?
We’re all deserted on that island, lost in the masses of mankind
Blind to what’s around us and deaf to cries that bind
Have you ever stopped to think as you wander through this dread
That you are actually a miracle with each hair numbered on your head

Beautiful Things

Saw this. Saved this.
Sharing ...

The amount

of beautiful things

in your life

depends

on your ability

to notice them.

I notice you!

Have a marvelous Monday.
