I read a post last night that said something to the effect that “the world needed a big hug”. I agree. I also want to float on this bay with the ducks and gaze up at the sunrise, which might feel like a hug from the big beautiful sky.

I hope you all have the day you want and need 🩵✌️

Happy Monday! It's a new week! The white snow looked gorgeous on the beach this morning that made this the easy preferred choice at the coffee shop. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Good morning, happy new week friends! Hopefully you are feeling refreshed from the weekend. We’re in the home stretch before the holidays so things are hectic. Let’s all try and remember to have a little patience. Have a great day!

The news, the cold, the holidays, bring so many to a dark place.

Take care of yourself. Take a break. Do something enjoyable. It helps.

Act in kindness. Donate, buy someone a coffee, if in doubt, a smile is free.

Kindness, to yourself and others, has an exponential effect of spreading good.

Good morning Monday friends at Bluesky. One advantage of the lack of snow is that we still have the opportunity to go out over logs and stones.

I don't think I have ever seen such an intense flash of colour appear so quickly and disappear again as quickly. I really didn't see it coming as it was raining and grey on my walk so this was the best I could get. Photo taken this morning at the base of Glastonbury Tor.

It has been 13 years since my neighbor killed 26 in Sandy Hook. 13 years of more children & young people being shot at schools. 13 years of watching this country refuse to learn. How much longer until Americans choose children’s #FreedomToLive over guns?
As we remember the Sandy Hook shooting today, as I reflect on how we have failed our children by failing to do more since then, as I sit here thinking about my daughter Jaime & all victims of gun violence, my only question is when will this country have had enough?

The 2026 ACA 300% cost hikes are not an accident. It’s the final, deliberate outcome of 10 years of GOP sabotage. The arsonists blame the firemen.

Think of what Rand Paul is saying in terms of the Voting Rights Act

Then substitute the words “Black people” for “Democrats”

Because Republicans-backed by the Supreme Court-have been disenfranchising minorities for years
Rand Paul on mid-decade redistricting: "I think it's gonna lead to more civic tension & possibly more violence in our country. Think about it: if 35% of Texas is solidly Democrat & they have 0 representation, how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel they're not represented"
