breath, fact of the living
our exhale, evidence of continuing
tears acknowledge loss, possibly
smile supports prosperity
brave face endures them all

Do you reflect your world
Or your world reflect you?

And who imagined that? …)

Indeed, and I’m humbled you see her. Now, yes Ma’am, I did take the picture. I take all of them I use here. Thank you for saying so… I am not a professional by any means. Don’t claim to know a thing about photography, but I do like sharing what I find along the way.

I think you DO have a talent for photography. 🤗 This one is so perfectly balanced and pleasing. (My own picture taking abilities are pretty lame, but I blame that on my camera. 😆 )

Betty, we have something more in common. Giggle. I often blame my phone, which is how these are all taken.
Thank you for the lovely encouragement. 😁

Let me take you back to 2013…there was a similar crowd in shock of my doing so, as well. They get used to it and so will you. Just don’t hold back. People listen. You’ll feel the lighter for it and you’ll see a change in you, as well. For the better.
