I'm curious.
Think small, if you will. Do you ever think in terms of macro? It is such a fascinating place to live. The details of it become more clear, closely cropped, allowing the finer details to show off what amazing looks like. I call it up close and personal. What seemed like just a flower at first glance, in reality, are tiny little flowers, flowers within these flowers. You cannot see that until you are almost on top of it.
I hear tell that it is coming, whether we want it or not, so it's best if we start fall-ing in the mood today. It may easier to give thanks for any sunshine and warmth that we have for the rest of the season. Be of good cheer, I heard that summer will run full circle and be back again.
I woke up this morning, feeling warm, but, not from the sun. It was feeling loved, throwing out the lines and catching a little bit of fun. I can get on board with that. Some days, it is all about the connection and love being shared. Sometimes, it is just knowing that I am loved. The family and I made breakfast toghter, before the break of day. Like clockwork, working side by side, piecing it into a meal. Those moments of being together, laughing at nothing and everything. This moment in time, that you will never get back. It is a small thing, but, it is your thing with your people. Cherish. The. Love.
“I love you.” “I love you.” Yes, I do." The heart is such a complex contrivance. "I’ll love you forever and ever." Such small words, but, certainly have a powerful meaning. As usual, it is the small things in life, isn't it?
When I was a young girl, I always wondered about the poor people my father would call a bleeding heart. Sorry to mix my heart up a bit. Where was his compassion? I went to a Catholic School, along with my 8 brothers and sisters, and right after you learned all about sinning and penance, you learned compassion. So, in my mind, I had these bleeding hearts put aside to show them more compassion when I learned what it was really all about.
I dedicate this post to all of you. You bring joy to my soul and spread your love across the world. For this, I thank you. And just like that, these musings are done...and just so you know, although we are throwing words around the globe, I can guarantee you that there is still a little left to take us through tomorrow. Have a most fabulous day! Hive on!
All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.
It’s my way. I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.
Inspire me with your words. They never fall upon deaf ears. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me do. Love is all around you.
The Naming of Cats
The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.

Thanks for the repost @pixresteemer! Much appreciated!
I think we might have to all write a post of love and joy directly to you. Your positivity radiates like a burning flame on every single posting. When in doubt and you're feeling blue all you need to do is pull up a single posting and experience some happiness. This may sound sappy but it's hard to ignore after this short of amount of time reading your postings on here.
I'm loving your final photo and it's a perfect closer to another inspiring post.
Thank you so much for such a heart-warming comment. You truly flatter me and even though I feel positive in my real life, sometimes it is hard to transfer that feeling into a post.
I am glad that you can read between the lines. Thank you so much. You made my night. 💗

When it comes to photography, yes, sometimes I take macro photos with my Samsung Galaxy A12, but I have not posted macro photos on the Hive blockchain in the recent past.
When it comes to living things, then I also think in macro. For example about the life of ants. They work together.
I give you some !PIZZA and !LUV.
Have a nice day. All the best.

Love indeed is simple but it can do impossible things. For example, because of love, there was a war in the movie Helen of Troy. I think it explained how love could be so hard to resist.
By the way, I mean no offense here, and I respected the opinion of your father. It's not about the status in life who has a bleeding heart. It's someone who can't feel the joy of their own lives.
Lovely photos by the way.
Because of Love there was war in the movie Helen of Troy and I believe there's probably been many we don't even know about. I know that you mean no offence and I probably going to that wrong because I was going for a play on words. When I said that about my father what I meant was bleeding heart was used to describe one who shows except that sympathy for another's Misfortune and has historically thrown as an insult towards more liberal politicians. When I said poor people oh, I did not mean to people without money but those poor people, meaning I feel bad for the people. Sorry for being so unclear.
No, sorry for not getting the logic. lol
I know I can step into your posts, grab some of the love that's spilling out, and leave
Thank you <33
💖 You know i adore you, right! Step right in and take what you need!
💓
I am so happy that you have an infinite pool of love to draw from so that you can share it through your wonderful posts. So many of us are not as fortunate, but at least we all know where to come to for what we need to hear. Many thanks for the kindness you give and all that you do!
You have built ins with the kids.If they dont start cranking up the love soon, I'll fire them myself!
Hope gu ou are having a great night!
Life is a blessing from Allah Almighty and you want to spend it with your family and stay close. Like a flower in a flower and the fragrance like those flowers.
Thank you so much for your kind and generous words. I hope you have a wonderful day !
I'm not sure what makes my heart bleed but my heart overflows with life whenever I see your beautiful colorful pictures ❤️🤩😍 Reading your words always gives the reader a positive outlook on life.
Thank you Sweetie
How is it that you always make me feel so good? Thank you so much for your words and for taking the time to stop by and say hello! Love to you my friend!
Its something feel bad or hurt just reminding old memories or flash back your life. Life is composite of lots of emotion and few memories are dump you mind by the incidents of story, but left it beside forward ahead is the main theme of life. Happiness and joy is expectable but we don't expect our sorrowful, thus outcome your strength how you handle it. Anyway, lots of memories from your life and seems it philosophy.
Life is one big philosophy, isn't it? I hope that your life is treating you well and I pray for the world to heal.
Aw you are a big softie! In a nice way :0)
You are seriously much softer than I ever realized. :) I won't tell anyone, although, I think many of us suspect it! As a bonus, you keep us on our toes with another story or three of you and El Jeffe!
Oh, I am indeed. I am a giant softie. I think I worked all my mean bits out when I was a young un 🤣🤣
I can tell and can only say that thank God and whoever else that I didn't know you when you were Hell on Wheels!
Wait!! I hope you will still be here when the Little Boom gets there! Although, I have a feeling is it the Little Lady that will give you are run for your money! She is smart as a whip and quick on her feet.
I adore her!
I adore her too, she is as sharp as anything. I absolutely love the way she already thin8gs I am an idiot at times and she is only 8!! I was sure it would take longer :0)
Ha! That is too cute! That just means she loves you in kidspeak! :)
It's such a curious thing. When I was younger if you said I would be a parent I would have run for the hills but I am awfully happy about it now!
Isn't that funny? I couldn't agree with you more. I didn't want kids when I was younger and was happy with my life. I say didn't want, but, it wasn't something I really thought about because I was happy. My sisters were all having kids and my brothers too. I got married and started having kids, and I was enamored with those little bundles of joy. I actually don't think people are made to love/raise children, but, it is something that grows on you, almost without you noticing it. I can remember wondering if I would love the second as much as the first! Scary, wasn't it?
And now, we are all over it. I truly get it. :)
I remember that worry about the second too!! How daft it seems now.
Ha, what a wonderful world eh!! 😃😃
The live and compassion in your heart is clearly overflowing and we all see it so clearly in your posts
My gosh! Heartwarming compliments that is and I want to thank you for your always wonderful thoughts. Sometimes I have to wonder if when I'm writing is coming through in the way that I mean it and I realize that it does not always, you have a way of making me leave feel good about my words, so I thank you. I hope you are having a most wonderful day
You should feel good about your words without a doubt
I always get a nice calm feeling visiting your posts
Just waiting to pick up our granddaughter from school then go get the grandson to spend the afternoon with us so a great day
That is so fun to live so close to them! 💙

Thank you so much for understanding my shortcomings and thank you so much for the tipu!!
You are awesome!
Flowers within flowers, then bleeding hearts one by one, compassion toward another takes us a long way.
Then on wing you bring in the sea-gull swooping over to take the broken heart away on a gentle breeze.
Keep musing and yes, Hive on!

You have a kind and gentle way I've met in person feel good about what they have written and that I want to thank you. I appreciate you and your words very much. Have an amazing day!
World is full of doom, gloom and turmoil,
But when has it ever been different, look to history!
Free choice is to share some kind words, a little cheer,
Lighten the load many bear, bring a smile not a frown,
This world is what she is, nothing much will change.
The words are mine.... 🤗Happy Friday!
Bleeding hearts...
I have a pot of bleeding hearts.
It reminds me of compassion too.
A long story!
Thank you for the beautiful words, @dswigle!
I do so love the bleeding hearts! When I was a kid, they seemed exotic as they magically appeared in the spring, their pin/red buds bursting forth in hearts. Oh, yes. The compassion stories are always long, and tedious and so heartwarming usually.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words! 💛
Often there is great beauty in "small"!
Very beautiful photos!
Thank you so much for your always wonderful comments! They are truly appreciated! Have a wonderful night!
And thank you, I am very pleased too! Good night and great week!
What a lovely post. Your post is always full of love, makes me always want to see your post. I enjoy reading your post
Thank you so much. What a very kind thing to say! Have a lovely day!
I have three boys ranging in age from 12-19 (and a daughter who is 25, who no longer counts, because she doesn't live with me anymore 😂)
My oldest and youngest boys are two peas in a pod; they're both blonde, skinny, and have the same likes and dislikes. They are also the only two who will not only answer "I love you," but will initiate. They will actually say it again a second time - louder - to ensure that it has been heard. It's incredibly endearing. I look forward to it daily.
My middle boy, the 15 year old, just grunts. I'll tell him daily, just so he knows, but he only ever responds with a 'yeah'.
Awwwww... It's there, in the way he is capable of presenting it. You know it and I know it... As for the others, that makes my heart sing.
Absolutely! Sometimes that's what gets me through the day!
