Friday Focus: Up Close and Personal
In life, as in photography, we develop some of our most treasured friendships when we are willing to get “up close and personal” with others and build relationships that are more than just a casual encounter. Are you willing to take the risk?
Relationships Part 1: The People in Our Life
I have a mix of friends from every walk of life. I appreciate what I learn from each one. Sometimes I discover what “to do” and other times, it is what “not to do!” Our choice is in the depth of the relationship and how vulnerable we allow ourselves to be with other people.
Ice Cream, a Cat, and a Little Girl Named Anna
On a lazy summer day years ago, I glanced out the window to where a little blond-headed girl was sitting on the front porch steps sharing her popsicle with an old yellow cat. She was eating from one side while the cat ate from the other side. They were almost to the middle and would soon be nose to nose! I intervened!
The Journals: My Mother’s Gift of Love
I am thankful my mother took the time to journal her life, passions, and heartfelt prayers. Because of what she wrote, I have insight of days and moments that otherwise would be lost to me. In her willingness to express herself through her journals, she continues to inspire and motivate me. And there are days as I read her prayers, I feel as if her hand gently brushes across my brow as it did when I was a little girl.
Life is a Playground! – If Life Could Be That Simple
I giggled to myself, wondering if the people in this community realize what a fun mailman they have. Of course, my thoughts are based on the perception of our little redhead and not every house is occupied with a 5-year-old who thinks that life is one big playground and everyone is just having fun with one another. If only that were true!
A Nurse Named Ruth
I seem to find things at Antique Shops or Thrift Stores that are unusual or could have sentimental value to someone. One of my discoveries is a nursing license from 1932.
