This image really hit me between the eyes.
It reminds me that as much as we are overwhelmed by what’s going on in the world, the power lies in each of us to do what we can, where we are, with what we have. It may be enough.

My heart is in a puddle under my chair as I type. I think this should be an award-winning photo, at least. and I will keep it for whenever I need a quick pick-me-up. :0)
It’s nice and sunny here, but only 15 degrees right now. We’re supposed to get to 37 by this afternoon, so I’m happy.
I will join a friend for Lunch Bunch. One of the group is recovering from a hospital procedure and another is out of town. My husband has the sniffles, and so will stay home, leaving the two of us at lunch today. I’ll take it. It’ll be nice catching up with her.
Have a happy Friday!

Aaron and Lenny help us enjoy April. No fooling.
I found the Austrailian Firefighters fundraising calendar online several months ago. I loved the idea of great looking firefighters with cute dogs to celebrate each month while bringing needed funds to the firefighters. This was before they had all the awful bush fires there.
I’m happy to share the gorgeous guys with you each month. I hope that you will consider buying a calendar each year, or maybe one for yourself and others as gifts for the new year, to aid their fundraising efforts and bring yourself a mile each month. AustralianFireFightersCalendar.
May the end of April bring us through anxiety and into better times.
All kids would have a dog –

“A Candle”*
A candle is but a simple thing,
It starts with just a bit of string,
Yet dipped and dipped with a patient hand,
It gathers wax upon its strand,
Until it’s complete in colors and white
At last it gives a lovely light.
Life is so like that bit of string,
Each deed we do is a simple thing,
Yet day by day if on life’s strand,
We work with patient heart and hand
It gathers joy and makes dark times bright,
Giving at last a loving light.
