A sweet friendship refreshes the soul.
~Proverbs 27:9
Last Wednesday, Entrepreneur was scheduled for another set of CT scans to monitor the renal cell cancer spots in his lungs. While many friends are aware of the anxiety that always builds up to these appointments, one friend took their support a bit further.
No one is definitively claiming authorship of the mini mural that appeared at the end of my driveway Wednesday morning, but I have a good idea who the artist is. And, I love her for it. She is truly a sparkly person that dispels darkness wherever she goes.
I purposely didn’t crop out anything out of this photo or “pretty it up” in any way. I think the juxtaposition between the beauty of the chalk drawing and message with the raw reality of the concrete, asphalt and winter scruff makes the point quite well.
Playing along with Sparks and Awww……Monday. Annie’s Sparks philosophy is very simple.
The negative energy of the world has become thick and oppressive. Social media has become a part of this dare, negative storm. There is an obvious, universal need for more positive energy and peace. And, we can be a part of this affirmative change.
I believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. There is hope. Together, we can light up the entire world!
Sandee’s Awww…..Monday is a simple blog hop where all that’s needed is a photo that makes the viewer say “awwwwwww.” How easy is that?
What a lovely thing to do. Huge Awww. I already linked this post to Awww Mondays.
Have a blessed day. ♥

It SURE does, Lisa. And it’s absolutely beautiful! Isn’t it something how such a simple, yet thoughtful and loving gesture can be such a powerful gift to us when we most need it?
What a wonderful friend!
Hope all is well, my friend 🙂 Have a fantastic week!

Simple and clear message in the artwork from a friend. Your spark is right on…we need more positive energy and peace. The solution is to find what is causing all this unrest, unhappiness, and sometimes downright anger in our world. But, we can choose to be the alternative, reaffirming kindness.
