Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.”– Andy Warhol

“The sun did not shine.
It was too wet to play.
So we sat in the house
All that cold, cold, wet day.”― Dr. Seuss, The Cat in the Hat
For those of you dealing with this cold, cold weather, stay warm and dry.
Wishing you a Dr. Seuss kind of day.
Cheers & Hugs,

“She was beautiful,
but not like those girls in the magazines.
She was beautiful for the way she thought.
She was beautiful for the sparkle in her eyes
when she talked about something she loved.
She was beautiful for her ability to make other people smile
even if she was sad.
No, she wasn’t beautiful for something as temporary as her looks.
She was beautiful deep down to her soul.
She is beautiful.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald

And….

No Regrets Abstract Watercolor
Never regret a day in your life.
Good days give happiness.
Bad days give experience.
Worst days give lessons.
Best days give memories.

Two possibilities exist:
either we are alone in the Universe
or we are not.
Both are equally terrifying.

PS If you look closely, you will find my hubby in this photo. This was a beautiful spot we stopped at that he wanted to share with me on our way back from Thanksgiving in Conneaut Lake, PA.
Cherish the Moments!
I am thankful for…
nights that turned into mornings,
friends that turned into family,
and dreams that turned into reality.*
As I spend time this week with some bestie friends that have become like family…
and got to experience this sunrise yesterday morning on the beach…
I thought it apropos to share this quote I found that resonates so deeply with me.
Wishing all of this and more for you as well.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Wishing you time for thoughts, walks, books, and friends.
Happy Weekend!

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I am sharing a beautiful sign I saw along a walk I took this week at Six Mile Cyprus Slough Preserve in Fort Myers, Florida.
I am on my way home to my valentine, and I am leaving behind a dear friend – both who fill my heart to overflowing.
Look forward to sharing more soon.
Cheers & Heartfelt Valentine Hugs,
Jodi
