People are Amazing!

 Let's talk about the good in people!  

Saturday's I work at a farmers market.  One of my regulars didn't have enough cash so I let her go, with treats, and she could pay the following week.  She was very appreciative.  The customer after her, paid her tab.  I was thankful and know 1st customer will be this coming Saturday.

My neighboring vendor had a very similar experience as well with customers who don't know each other paying a bill.

Please seek out the good in people!  🥰

Welcome Back!

Almost two years since last post!  How to loose a few faithful reader in a flash of no words.  So much has changed in those two years, so let me "some up":

• Ian has finished his associates degree from NOVA, with all A's.  He is finishing up registering for GMU and an education major.  He is still following his fun passions by interning the "theater camp" at church, leading worship for the college group, and plays with the church band.
• Simon still enjoys working at Giant and practically full time.  Free time for him is videography and being a tech guy at church.
• Kevin is still working for the Emmes Company, writing his own music, and playing with church band.  lol!!  Not much has change there.
• For me,  many changes!  Since retiring from homeschooling May of 2021, I first got employed to sell dog treats for Chase Your Tail Bakery (in April actually).  I am in my third season and still enjoy the Farmers Market experience.  For a weekday job, I began at a preschool.  While learning a lot, ultimately it wasn't the best job for me.  As of now, I work at an HOA office three days a week and it is becoming more enjoyable the more I learn.
• The blog was set up to help me remember joy, passion, growing in things that bring me joy and fill the artistic side of my brain.  These can be easily summed up in photography, painting, fixing small things (furniture, sewing, things that are rusting, etc.), reading, baking, canning, and growing flowers, herbs, and veggies.
• Given the last bullet statement, will be mulling over how to show case a joy, a book, a project, or something unique.  Suggestions welcome.
• Last but not least the photo is of some of my favorite flowers taken with my newest camera.

Thank you for taking time to read! Hope you find your own Joy!
