The camaraderie that develops as you sit next to someone for 90 minutes.

The white paint brush has eliminated all the imperfections.

Tough week but I’m grateful I’m tougher.

As i look forward, grateful to proceed slowly with stops as I step.

Laughter, so much laughter I wish I could bottle it up for when I need a giggle.

Pastor Jonathan led us on our merry way with a story about frozen peas in the nose of his toddler. This story that gets better every time you tell it.

I was Laughing Club’s representative to warm up a crowd that was on fire.

Hands in the air -We are all beautiful and unique individuals together we make a masterpiece.

My salute to peas was the audience singing Let There be Peas on Earth in note of Ha! It evolved into singing the words -Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me!

Holding your breath during serious performances. So proud!

Holding your sides as “Lucy” gets looser and looser in her routine.

Proud of my friend who was doing a serious dance that the music played for only fifteen seconds. She never lost her composure and laughed at the situation then strutted her stuff.

Another friend sang well despite her cold. Brave.

Picking on the pastor. Oh Baloney! (We love you Jonathan!)

Did piano player play something from Moonglow or La La Land? The winner is… us.

Fifteen acts with kids telling knock knock jokes in between.

A surprise ending. Dance party!

There are forty days in Lent.  I’m going to be especially attentive in this time before Easter.

Doing not just planning.

Being aware of my environment. Thank you that I have eyes that see and ears that hear.

Open my eyes so I can see. Open my ears so I can hear. Open my heart so I can help.

Sharing what I have. Realizing how I have been blessed.

Patience and more patience.

Journal for a while every day. I’m going to get to explore me.

Giving without expecting to be repaid.

Sending cards of encouragement. I’m stopping to buy 20 stamps and will use Internet for others.

Others may give up things for Lent . I am taking up an attitude of joy in giving.
