I hope I get to meet you one day, Pam. I feel like we are so often on the same wavelength! I had the exact type of day today – I kept running in to one nice person after another and it felt like you described; ripples. I am definitely going to try this format out! Thanks!!

So much depends upon recognizing the ripples…I feel like turning this into a play on the red wheelbarrow poem…must be the effect of your poetic blogposts…
So much
depends
on the ripples of
kindness
the building of little
things
that give us reason to
smile.
Apologies to W.C. Williams
