I asked my daughter to draw me a picture of a woodland poker game with a gnome. I can't tell you how much I love the result.

Ever get tired of feeling like you're always the one to reach out to friends? Do I just stop and see if they actually want to maintain communication? Am I just pestering them? They always *seem* happy to hear from me, but then I'll hear nothing until I decide to reach out again.

My hands are shaking after reading this. The email came several weeks ago saying this was supposed to happen, but I still didn't believe it was actually going to go through. I know a lot of people have strong opinions about this, but it is a huge blessing to our family right now.

This is getting ridiculous. It's okay to be happy about stuff even if the world is burning! You know why? Because it is ALWAYS burning somewhere and if you don't celebrate any bit of joy you happen to find or enjoy moments of silliness, then you will burn right up with it.

Another rock I found that I thought was cool. I called 9 over to show her and she says, "What? it's just a rock." Please tell me this does not look like "just a rock."

I've never worn hats other than baseball caps because I always thought I looked weird in them. But I actually liked this hat & decided to wear it today. Was kind of bummed I didn't get a single compliment, but maybe I was right that I'm just not a hat person?

Hubs' face is just blowing up from the shingles. It's reached his eyelid now. He's seeing the opthalmologist today, but I would appreciate any prayers or good vibes. He's really worried about losing vision in that eye.

Daughter let me look at some of her sketches from today, and I'm just blown away as usual.
She's been writing a fantasy series, but I've put the bug in her ear that she should try making a graphic novel.

When everyone complains about all the negativity on here, I feel lucky. Not sure what the difference is, but I feel like my feed is usually full of awesome, creative, and supportive people.
So if someone hasn't told you, I appreciate you for making this a place I want to be.

It only took 6 years but my youngest finally understands the concept of yesterday, today, and tomorrow! For years she's been constantly asking me "Is it today?" to which I've replied each and every time, "Yes, it's always today."

You're more likely to get blocked than followed with a post like this. No one owes you a follow. No one is an elitist simply because they don't like your content and choose not to follow. But if you're concerned about building community, I'll give you a hint: DON'T DO THIS.

The rain outside is fitting because this is a terribly sad day indeed. Our Calcifer passed away. He was the sweetest cat I've ever had and will be so dearly missed by our family and especially by his brother.

If someone shows you a drawing/photograph/painting/piece of writing and you think it's good, but you think you know how it could be changed to make it great or how they could improve their technique, do you tell them or just give them a nice compliment?
