I've had your post open for a couple of days reading it more than once. You have touched on a subject I need to be more sure of. Your photos are amazing and it is surprising sometimes how fleeting the colors in the sky can be at sunrise or sunset. Enjoy your week!

That is so nice that your friends came to spend time with you - that means you are worthy of their friendship and vice versa. You are so lucky to have your mom still with you. I lost mine 3 years ago now. GORGEOUS blankets!

YES to your thoughts about perceptions, and it is a very uplifting post today!!! Makes me feel GREAT! I do quite a bit of counseling as a deacon, but then tend to get stuck in this position when dealing with friends and family in daily life. Once my daughter-in-law was crying to me about something and I was telling her my standard comforting line I do with others. She then told me to STOP!! She told em that I was being a deacon and counselor, and she only needed me to listen and sympathize! A lesson I am applying to certain others as well.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1971373356006819843.post-76097924979222680422013-02-11T21:56:33.502+00:002013-02-11T21:56:33.502+00:00What a beautiful post!

But now I feel it is more important what I think of myself. If I can go to sleep at night feeling like I did the best I could do that day and will try to do better tomorrow, I am happy. I once read that it is none of our business what other's think of us! And when you think of it, that is true. We have enough to deal with in this life. As long as we always try to be kind, I think that will carry us through. And of course there is that saying going around the internet that goes something like, 'Live your life so that if someone says something bad about you, nobody would believe it.' <br /><br />I love your crochet. You are a fast learner! Your Mom is a Dear. Cherish her. xoxoKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1971373356006819843.post-20469254515733474372013-02-11T21:43:05.381+00:002013-02-11T21:43:05.381+00:00What an interesting post, those sky photos are bre...What an interesting post, those sky photos are breath taking!

I too often wonder how people perceive me as well. My husband tells me (often) that I spread more joy than I ever realize because of my monthly ritual of sending birthday cards and also holiday cards to family & friends, regardless of whether or not they reciprocate. In these modern times of email and instant messaging, and rising postal costs it seems that fewer people send a card or short note. But I enjoy letting folks know someone is thinking of them and maybe it has brightened their day too. Beatrice P. Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08281239556392874979noreply@blogger.com
