Rustic Simplicity
I was excited to take part in this prompt (almost a day late), so I scanned through my images thinking I would find something rustic, like a tree in the woods. I saw the folder […]
The Window
There’s a world out there. Open a window, and it’s there. ROBIN WILLIAMS One of the things I love about blogging is the places it takes our minds. I found this Robin Williams quote today […]

I’m Reminded
