WISE WORDS


I think you are beautiful Sweetie, just the way you are. 


 I am also including one of those stories that encompasses kindness and compassion, with a link across time that is incredible.  You may have heard of this already, but I am going to include it just in case you haven't.  It is an amazing story and one I want to remember as I look back and read this again. It is a story about a connection between the Choctaw Nation here in the US, and the people of Ireland. 

 You can read about it here. 


 Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for visiting.

    A wonderful story! The Native Americans don't really have money to give away, either. so it was so self sacrificing!

      I was really moved by that original gift, and the fact that there has been such a gratefulness from the people of Ireland now in their time of need. I have experienced Irish hospitality, the warmth of those I met make them very special to me.

    Yes, I’ve heard about it too and think it’s such a sweet story.

    I’ve also heard quite a number of horrible stories of people rebelling against wearing masks and being horrible to store workers who asked them to wear one. I wondered what it would be like when we ventured out to go grocery shopping. I’m happy to say EVERYBODY was wearing masks and everyone was friendly, kind, trying to keep their distance and just being super understanding. Thank goodness!

      Thanks Kay! I have heard those stories too and as you say they are very upsetting. Just have to keep reminding myself of all the good people out there. I am happy your grocery shopping experience was a good one.

    I did not know that about the Choctaw and the Irish!

      Thanks Sandi, I like to add these quotes that make me think. The story was me too a couple of days ago. I had never heard of this history before. I find it brilliant!

      Thanks Red, I was wondering if he had molted and was regrowing his feathers?
