Sparkle and Shine
When our world is dark and scary, it's hard to find the "sparkle and shine" . It's in those moments that we must pause, sip a cup of tea or maybe something stronger, tuck into your comfy place, read a romance novel or look at a pretty picture and rest for awhile. The first picture is my cup of tea in my comfy place.

And sometimes when venturing out, take yourself to a happy place that delights you. Look for the things that make you smile and sparkle. The below picture was taken Sunday when I told my "live-in gardener" that I just wanted to walk through the antique mall and snap a picture or two. I found this headless lady with nothing on but her sparkle around the neck. It just made me smile. She had a wrap and hat nearby, but without a sense of decorum or modesty she chose to exhibit her body in all it's brokenness and she sparkled.
What is making you smile today?
Sending love,
Marilyn

What IS making me smile today? I guess that it's supposed to be cooler than yesterday!
What a unique picture that is of the mannequin. Love the necklace she is wearing too. It's nice to just browse the antique malls and the craft fairs and the festivals sometimes, even if we don't buy anything. Your comfy place for sipping tea is quaint, Marilyn. Thanks for sharing some of your sparkle and shine. : )

I am very happy and relieved that it is cooler today than the last 4 deadly hot and humid days we had here in Montreal. This, plus your lovely post is making me smile today. :)
