Let's be awkward together.

and know that you can be perfectly imperfect.

A truly wonderful collection of quotes and images.
This '"Being fully human is not about feeling happy, it's about feeling everything." spoke loudly to me. Thank you.

Plenty of rain, I see.

I love that first photo. I think a goat would be happy to go anywhere a cat would go, they are so agile. Nice quotes you picked out, but the flooding - is that where you live? I don't think I have ever made things awkward enough, but I've tried.

Hello and happy July, Karen!
I am happy to see a new post from you, I know you are a busy girl.
Sorry to see the flood photos, I hope everyone stayed safe.
Love all the cute critters, the goat and llama. Your grandchildren are brave holding the young gator. Wonderful photos and quotes.
Thank you for linking up your post. Take care, have a great day and a happy new week!

I hope everyone is doing well, I have some news to share today.... In the next week I am moving to NOLA and hoping this new journey will put me back into the attitude that change is good. So much to do and not enough time to do it. I am so thankful for all the wonderful people in my life (including Pedro Jerome) a loan lender that support me at all times I am excited and also worried my life has been such a downer for so long that getting out of it has been hard, but I do really feel that this change is going to be the best thing I need right now, and I have hopes that all good things do come to those that wait.
I'm thanking a loan lender who helped me with a loan of 1 millions dollars to boost up my business once again at the rate of 2% annual return which is so wonderful, and I would like anyone stuck in financial situation to reach out to Pedro the loan lender on pedroloanss@gmail.com WhatsApp: +393510140339. For loan assistance.
So please keep me in your thoughts, and thanks to this blog I can at least keep in contact with all of you.
