Merry Christmas!!

Wishing our WTIOC friends a very Merry Christmas! Though Christmas is quite different this year, I hope you'll all have a wonderful day. 

There's something special about the photos... 

can anyone figure out what it is?

A smile is always a good thing!

 Hi everyone! I have missed all of you. Thanks to Amy for her contribution to this post 😊

Have a good weekend everyone!

Autumn into Winter

While looking through my photos, I came across this beautiful bouquet. Aren't the colors wonderful together? I hope this flower arrangement brightens your day, as winter starts to take over the fall, slowly turning the landscape of rich autumn colors and textures into monchrome hues. 

Thoughts from Roxie

 2020 has been the year none of us could have imagined. Trump, (of course), covid, isolation, fear, missing our families, health issues, and now covid numbers rising again. I believe 2021 will be better, starting when Biden is sworn in. However, we will always feel the effects of 2020, like it or not. I want to thank all of you for hanging in here through thick and thin. Good friends are hard to find, and I appreciate all of you! 💗

A new day

 What a week. Congratulations to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris!

Let the healing begin.

Choosing Joy

 

There is one week to go until election day. My anxiety level skyrockets whenever I think about it or turn on the news. In our house, we are doing our best to not watch too much CNN, which is actually helping with our stress. 

I read this article on Psychology Today's website which offers ideas how to cope withwhat we're all going through: Struggling With Election Anxiety? Basic coping skills can help keep stress in check. I found that making a conscuous choice not to engage in the political happenings in these final weeks has allowed me to have more energy to focus on the positive things happening around me.

With that in mind, I thought we could have a post where we share some good things. What is happening in your community that have renewed you faith in humanity? Have you had a bit of good news you'd like to share? Did you see a comic or heard a groaner that made you laugh out loud? How about posting a picture you took or saw that made you smile? You all get the idea. Let's spread some joy to get us through the next week.
