Am I reflecting joy when I smile at a stranger?
Warmth when I give a hug?
Am I reflecting peace in the words I speak?
Hope in the words I write?
Am I reflecting friendship in my actions towards others?
Beauty in the cherished moments of the day?
Am I reflecting love in the way I live my life?
May I wake up each morning reflecting on the small impact I have on a great big world.
Cherish the moments.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Love this one 💚

Awh! Thank you so much Ann! You’ve made my day. That is my whole intent. Hey – I have crappy stuff going on in my life like anyone else – have family issues – have down days, but my goal is to share the positive, good side of the moment we can cherish in between the rest of the “crap” we sometimes have to put up with! Thank you for recognizing and enjoying that about my blog! ❤
