Today's Message

Do you like the painted rock house?  I did not paint this one -- found it online as an inspiration.  If you are interested, you can buy "patio paint" which works well on rocks.  They usually come in six colors, and you can mix them if you need something different.  Just clean the rocks really well, let them air dry and get going.  You can use marker as a guide.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and we will be deluged with red and pink.  Flower trucks will be everywhere.  Some poor person will get those footed pajamas.  Another poor person will get one of those giant teddy bears.  Someone told me the other day that rather than flowers, candy, or gifts, they would just appreciate being treated nice every day.  Isn't that just the way it should be?  Maybe we wouldn't need occasions like Valentine's Day if we did just that.

Guilt is a terrible thing because it eats us from the inside out.  Rather than dealing with it, we often cover it over with a thick crust to make sure nothing reminds us of the guilt.  At night the guilt seeps into our dreams and disturbs rest.  After a while, the cause of all of these changes in behavior are forgotten but the guilt remains just the same.  Don't know why I started on this topic, but that's what blogs are for -- we can meander about and hit one topic, then another without a thought.  Someone needed this today would be my best guess.

My friends, we are much loved, so let us spread that love out all around us with smiles and hugs and laughter.
