Photographer unknown.

I was thinking as I read this quote that the opposite might be true as well. Then again, some people do come into our lives — and, as a society, into many millions of lives — who are either a blessing or a lesson. Both strengthen us in different ways, but I prefer the creative types (like Elvis♥) who bless us a lot more than the evil mouth-breathers — and I’m not talking about Darth. He ultimately acted with honor and was redeemed.

Have a great weekend.

You’re Invited

Today is my missing adult son Ben‘s 35th birthday. As mentioned in 5.20, you’re invited to join me in kicking off a year of SAoKs (Small Acts of Kindness) called Buttons for Benjamin. The challenge starts today and runs for three weeks. The link is here. It’s hosted on KindSpring.org. If you join, you receive one email a day and zero spam.

Every Tuesday beginning February 28th, I’ll post a special Gem called “Full of Grace” with a photo and a blurb about each of the SAoks the week before. If the small act is a face-to-face meeting with someone new, I’ll hand out a button to get the word out about Ben.

Even if you don’t join, please send good thoughts and picture him home again, safe at last.

♡ Thank you. ♡
