Simply, Plain Sailing

Or flying with one's head in the clouds, kind of day.

no longer to carry rain or usher storm,
but to add color to my sunset sky."

Catch a smile- throw a smile back!

Simply said-

Anything is possible when leaving a camera in the hands of a child!

"The heart, like the mind, has a memory,

and in it are kept the most precious keepsakes."

Sometimes, a picture says it all.

"A torn jacket is soon mended, but hard words bruise the heart of a child."

"Hang on to your youthful enthusiasms, 
you'll be able to use them better when you're older."

It's just that simple.

Simply put.

Always make room for family.

It was wonderful to see my cousin, Linda (she moved to Alabama after college) and I hadn't seen her in years!

Are so good to catch up!

Even when the eyes are closed,

and sleep has arrived,

 our brain is always awake.

Thinking, thinking.... and say how do you do?  Even if he's a Minion.

Seneca quoted-
"As in a tale, so is life: not how long it is, 
but how good it is, is what matters."

and I totally agree. Just as importantly is how good blogging together is for our souls.  I treasure every single one of you, in and out of blogging, and sharing this Bloggersville experience together makes life so good.  Enjoy your day!
