Crazy beautiful

Today was a better day. The weather continues to be crazy beautiful, and I took some pictures after I got home late this afternoon. Sunset was 4:49 PM so I chose the 50mm lens for these shots because the little sucker seems to let in a lot of light. And it was already dark.

I know I post a lot of photos of trees and am hoping you’re not too tired of them. I just happen to like them.

Especially in the fall and winter.

Life is good today.

Come on in.

There’s a glazed ham baking in the oven, and other dishes simmering on the stove. My husband is doing the cooking tonight – a rare treat that’s greatly appreciated.

The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have a potential to turn a life around. It's overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt.
