Hi Sheba, another beautiful day in the ‘burgh.😊 Just put a meatloaf in the oven for dinner.

BIL is okay as of today. His birthday was last Sunday and he had a house full of kids/grandkids when I called. Have not gotten any phone calls or emails which is good. But with all his problems, it could change in a minute. Last week he was fine when SIL got into the shower and had trouble breathing by the time she got out.😮 Never anything simple.

Mom Friday coming up. She needs a new chair and area rug in her TV room so I will probably take her around the world next week to look.🌎 She has no close furniture stores near her home so lots of back and forth for me. It will be a start, maybe go on Labor Day.

I’m sure sis is glad to be back home, a break from mom with no scheduled days. She can see a few friends, go to the casino🎰🎲🤑 and catch up with house things. She has spent more time in the ‘burgh than in CA.

Serena on again tonight, keeping fingers crossed!🤞✨

Fellowship With Purpose

Coming together as a community provides a new dimensionality to our earthly experiences.

Human beings, by their very nature, love to gather. Yet as much as we crave community, the rigors of real life frequently interfere with our efforts to come together with like-minded individuals. For this reason, fellowship is crucial to humanity’s wellbeing now more than ever. Most towns and cities play host to a variety of small groups that allow people to congregate purposefully, but that does not mean we should not consider founding our own. When people with similar interests, ideals, or aspirations come together as a group, a community is built that provides a new dimensionality to our earthly experiences.

The formation of a group is like an invitation welcoming all those desiring companionship and camaraderie into a circle of support. You may feel driven to found a group for women, healers, knitters, readers, writers, or political activists. Rules need only be a part of your communal experience if you find that level of organization appealing, and it matters little whether your group is large, goal-oriented, or structured. When you have a firm vision of the group you wish to bring into being, hang posters, reach out to acquaintances, and get in touch with similar groups to attract participants. Groups of like-minded individuals are to some extent inherently exclusionary, being that they serve as a supportive environment in which people who have something in common can gather. Yet such groups can also transcend the boundaries that might otherwise keep people apart. The group you create will likely attract people from many different ethnic, cultural, and spiritual backgrounds, and if you make these individuals feel equally welcome, your group will grow and thrive as a result.

Try to ward off any discouragement you feel when those intrigued by your group’s purpose are not ready to contribute actively. They are likely waiting to see how it evolves and whether you are truly committed to serving as its heart and soul. If the group you have founded is a positive influence in the life of even a single individual, it is well worth it. Your intention to bring people together will be the seed that develops into a source of nurturance and community that stays true to its purpose long after its initial inception. Amen! ✨✨

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California wishing you a Blessed Wednesday please Kitten take
care of yourself. ✨🌹

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the beautiful ‘burgh. Lady first I want to apologize for not responding
to your post yesterday. I thought I did and when I went to check it out of course it was
not there. No worries I am responding now. 😘✨😎🌹

So sorry about those trees and the police was directing traffic in front of your home.
I am sure that was an interesting day. I am glad no trees fell on your property.

The bird feeders do make the dogs bark but they are the dogs in the neighbors yard.
Poppy has never barked at birds or bunnies I wish he would bark at the squirrels. 😜

One neighbor has two dogs in their backyard and they are Poppy’s little girlfriends. The
fence separates them all they do is run back and forth along the fence line when the
birds are any other animal comes out they go crazy. 😜🤣

How is your BIL? I wonder if your sister is happy to be home in California I miss her. ✨😎
Well Mom Friday is coming up fast so take it easy. 😘🌹

Fall is just around the corner. 😘😎

@taci,

Good morning in S. California may you hit the trails with vigor as always.

Happy Trails to you. 🎶🎶

Miss you. 😎

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Coast of Florida. ✨🌹I see you are busy too. I am glad the doctor’s
office called you and explained everything to you that you need to know. I am praying all
of this goes well. Oodie that is a lot to do.

How are you doing? Will you get the home health aide? I hope you do even for a few
short days.

Oodie the neighbor has taken Charlie to the Vet he has terminal cancer and can go anytime
there is nothing to be done for him. I just don’t like him being out during the heat and strong
rain he always comes to our house during these times. I have know the cat for almost 12 years
as that is when she rescued Charlie. 💕I plan to have a talk with her and her husband to see
if they are aware that Charlie is out and about during extreme weather.

OZ is getting warmer today. I am multi-tasking as always. 😜🌹Oodie I would rest up over
the weekend.

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida. ✨😎😜I hope this post finds you and hubby doing well.

How are things going today? If your hands are full just do what you have to do. 😎✨

Sending positive thoughts and prayers. I hope you have enough rain and the plants and
all are happy. 😘😜

One step at a time my friend. 🌹

@defg,

Good morning in Maryland and please get well soon. Take care. ✨🌹
