I get the same expression as this couple below quite often now. Either something someone says, or does, or acts in an inappropriate way. Things that used to stand out as exceptions are more commonplace and almost dismissed as normal.

There are far more good actions taking place each day of course. At least I’m hoping more of us see the good deeds being carried out, big or small. From common courtesy, to acts of compassion, or the jobs that EMS, Police, Fire and Nursing do every moment.

I’ve always enjoyed people watching. I haven’t done that much street photography. I don’t take shots to make people look bad. I don’t think anyone looks bad because we are all unique and I was taught not to judge size, shape, color, language, nationality, handicap or disability. My mom taught me to respect everyone.

I think I’ll try to look for more smiles this coming year. That might be a big ask given the climate but hey, I like a challenge.

Random Thoughts of the Day

• It felt good to accomplish several things yesterday but also have a restful day.
• When my granddaughter stops in my office to look at the hundreds of photos on the walls and she starts to pick out people or ask who someone is, my heart warms.
• We have always made good use of vehicles. Our current fleet has 14, 10 and 8 years of age on them. Oh, I guess you could add my mower to the mix, its got 4 wheels. I think that one is 27 years old.
• There is no time like the present to create.
