We were in Yellowstone for a vacation
a few summers ago.
Son #3, the baby, at 4 years old
got SO tired he couldn't walk
any further.
His brother, age 6, Son #2
carried him the rest of the way...
Thanks for being my blogger friends!!!,
and carrying me through the tough times.
I love your laughs, your smiles, your friendship!

Sometimes we come upon a situation or a person who needs to be lifted up and carried for a bit. It may be a family member, a loved one, a friend, or it might even be a stranger. But, whoever it is, somewhere deep down in our heart and soul we know we want to reach out to them. At the same time, our minds may be telling us it is not our problem; they created their own problem, and there will be no gratitude or reward . . . but our hearts continue to reach out.
It is during these situations that we have to go with our hearts. We don't know if our reaching out will create a permanent solution for them, nor do we know how they will handle the outcome. We just have to reach out, lift up and share their load. In doing this we will gain the extra strength we need. The load will not be heavy, and if we can give them comfort or make even the slightest difference in their life, that alone should be our reward.

We all need a little help now and then. And I've found that in Bloggerville, there is an abundance of caring and comforting people. It's a give and take place, and you will find solace, drama, lies, love, joy, escape... anything you seek!
....I love Yellowstone! It's one of America's Gems. Think about doing another 55 next week, OK?
Thank you!
Mile, been thinking about you dear one.
Thank you dear for being my blogger friend also. Love the sweet brother picture! I didn't know Neil Diamond recorded that song. Only one I knew were The Osmonds. Blessings.
I love the picture and knowing your sons are so close. I also love knowing you are in my life.
I adore how my boys look after one another - and care for each other. As a mom it makes me feel like I did better than my mother was able to do - and that makes my life all worthwhile...
I adore you - have a great week!
