I completely understand that, @riverflows. So many people try to turn off emotions that hurt, and that can’t possibly be a healthy choice.

Thanks very much, @patif2025.

Very true, @joanstewart.

Thanks for your note, @shanibeer. Always nice to hear from you.

Ha ha! That was one of my favorites too, @davedickeyyall. Hi to Beth!

We just got the news a few hours ago that the killer has been arrested. So there’s some good news. That’s amazing that a crime that happens here in my backyard (not literally!) could make it all the way

Thank you, @aljif7.

Yes, it’s so heartbreaking. I was so glad to hear they found and arrested the guy accused of the crimes. And he acted alone.

Aw! Thank you, @agmoore. That means a lot!

I love supporting great writing, @silversaver888!

Ha ha. Yes, wield the power! Put them in their places, the young upstarts! 😆

Oh I hope that happens too. I can only imagine what a lift it would give to the economy for Syria to become a treasured travel destination!

Aw, so sweet and so heartbreaking. May your friends papa rest in peace. Or better yet, may he ride the waves, wherever he is now.

Wishing you well on your healing journey! That really sounds like a rough road, but hopefully the exercises and therapies will give you relief and hope!

Wow, @grindan. So interesting to hear your perspective on life in Syria after the fall of the government. I’m somehow not surprised that people are kind and accommodating. I find that to be true almost

Beautiful photography, as always, @tattoodjay!

There were some wonderful entries! I've picked my favorite.

How odd about the bumblebees! We once had bees nesting in our attic. But bumblebees wouldn't seem the type to do that. Maybe try contacting a bee expert? Good luck!

Oh ouch!! Glad you're okay. I'm guessing you'll find out tomorrow when the resulting aches and pains hit. But yeah... good thing you cushioned the phone and were only observed by Pepe! 😄

Those are some crazy temperature variations indeed! Here we have had moderate temperatures and a lot of rain, wind, and fire smoke from Canada. It definitely doesn’t feel like summer yet!
