A Walk in the Park: Addenbrooke

Here's the first park of my list of 21 parks to visit with a restroom, just in case I need it. I got there and they have 3 portable toilets. The park is huge and clean. There was a softball game or practice just finishing up. There are some picnic areas too and a lake.

Week of Painting

I would post a picture of grand vacation but I don not have the money to go. What I have done are trips to the mall not to shop but to paint. Take a look at our work--simple and fun. My daughter enjoyed it too.

Simple Ways to Bank Happiness

Enjoying a time outside, even if it's just
outside a new church.

It's the letter H week. What an inspiration to write on happiness.

I am working on building my reserves. Over the span of many years, I have been burdened with stress that made my happy bank empty. I compiled a list of things I do and will do to make me happy.

21 Lakewood Parks with Restrooms

Lakewood Park

I like going to the park while taking my time walking with my dogs, and enjoying looking at whatever nature (or man-made beauty) has to offer. I am also getting old and in need of access to the restroom anywhere I go like every couple of hours or more often after a drink or coffee or tea). :)

Ceramic Painting

D is For Dogs

Colors made with Color Pop as watermarked

Inspired by ABC Wednesday and The Art Challenge, I am posting about my dogs tonight. And in the interest of time, an easy and quick entry for the art challenge is using what I already have--the pictures from today and the other day with my dogs.

Book Character

Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

Not just a character, but as a real person who portrayed the role of Anne Frank in real life, this girl left a permanent mark in my heart.

The Bird and the Fish

Hey, the link is still open!

I am virtually running to submit my artwork here (if you can call it artwork) before the door closes. It is the third of the month and I am linking my first entry.

The Challenge For Charity

Charity for Children's Cause

It's the third week of round 20 of ABC Wednesday. This week's letter is the letter C.

A word that comes to mind is the word challenge, particularly the challenge to benefit a cause or charity for children.

The Key to Go to Church

It's half past eight in the morning. I just got back from my walk. My daughter is still sleeping and her friend staying for a sleepover is in a deep sleep. She did not move even after the dogs showered her with kisses.

Overcoming Procrastination Project 1

I went outside and thought, "It's not so bad." There is beauty outside.
I just have to choose the way there and capture the moment.

I'm trying this free app on my phone, Dragon dictation, for the first time for my post. The first sentence worked great so far. 

The Day My Name Changed

I was doing my usual walk with my dogs at the park one day when a man with his dog came close.

Thankful for the Written Words

Another Week, Another Reason to Be Thankful
This week is like a treasure hunt.
I had to look for reasons to be grateful.
I found them in my family, outdoors, my home, my bookcase, and my . . . Iphone! What do you know?
***
I am still lucky I have many reasons to be thankful. Some people, some nations, some groups are less fortunate. Let us shower them with compassion. May the leaders and future leaders act with just and kindness to all.
