Glimmers of Possibilities

Glimmer of Possibility – Born on a Thursday #5

Where I was seeing shadows I now see light.

Light, like water, like rain.

Soft release.

Shimmering shadow shift — reflection.

Fred Rogers is so cool!

Thank you Mr. Rogers! When I was a child, I felt like Fred Rogers was looking out for me. It is amazing how his show helped me to feel “normal” and not like I was “weird” for enjoying reading, drawing, and daydreaming. Just a little shred of evidence that I was just fine was all […]

They are both musicians and artists . . . I haven’t felt so at home in a place in a LONG time.

I walked down the path a little way and the grass was several feet taller than my head. I felt like I could have been in the Amazon.

I met this cool cat while I was out. He reminds me of my kitty Tiger, but much more calm. Buddha Kitty with a sweet mew.
