The heat of August makes so many people even crazier, it's a blessing to see that some folks are helping others or turning their lives around.<br /><br />I particularly enjoyed your graphic. It cheered me up just looking at it.<br /><br />I'm ready for some temps less than 90 degrees.

I am finally relaxing and don't mind sharing some boredom with my dear husband. LOL<br /><br />I turned off the TV because I can't find any good news, national or international. The word is going crazy, and stupid and mean. So we are watching tennis. Or at least hubby is and I am reading emails.Mona Riskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923883333893160794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-31836055401697714842011-08-13T14:42:43.524-05:002011-08-13T14:42:43.524-05:00Celia, thanks for sharing some good news.

Sometimes it's difficult to smile and lighten your heart, but from someone who has had enough saddness to last a lifetime, it works. Maybe it's the smile that fools the rest of your soul, but it works for me. Life isn't easy, but most of the time it is sure worth it. :)Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-43538585722592510252011-08-13T12:35:48.619-05:002011-08-13T12:35:48.619-05:00Great post, Celia.

And I've got a book to finish...but on the whole: <br /><br />I've just come back from a great trip and I live where the weather is always perfect (honest).

So here I am and what I read here was a real day brightener. Of course, we are in the "dog days" in August so we should expect a doldrum or two...or three. This too, shall pass. And I'll say a word or two about Heart of a Hero. It's a wonderful book and I prescribe it to anyone who wants a good read to brighten up their day. Loved the grandmother in this story. She almost stole the show.
