Hope in the World Today
She sees hope in the acts of kindness that she hopes will continue far beyond this pandemic. As she lives alone, she sees the kindness of people calling to check in on her. She shares kindness by calling all those little ones and their parents. Today I saw hope in the face and voice of Stacy!
Bush Stadium Seat Salvage
Following the Cultural Trail once again, I came upon this relaxing installation, pictured here, not far from my apartment building. The sign says: “Bush Stadium Seat Salvage”. The seats are a remnant from Indianapolis’ former minor league baseball stadium, one replaced by a gorgeous new downtown stadium a number of years back. What could have been trash are now a hopeful sign of re-purposing and rest along the Trail.
Poet’s Place
…”Always the hope of the young and perhaps the old
because change is here everyday….”
Obliteration
the light of God’s love for us obliterates the cross! The cross, the instrument of Jesus’ death, can’t even be seen due to the overpowering nature of God’s love for us!
St. Mary’s Downtown Indy
Although our Easter this year is different, it still is timelessly the same! Christ has died! Christ is risen! Christ will come again! What hope!
Naked Butts
Each summer my grandsons (Elijah age 8 and Judah age 6) come to visit for a week. Daily we experience some special downtown adventures and then go to Vacation Bible School. One day our adventure took us past the fountain pictured here. The boys giggled and wondered why I would take a picture of ladies with bare butts. I love their giggles.
Toilet Paper
Today’s walk on Good Friday was clear, sunny, and brisk. Traffic seemed a little higher than I am used to seeing. Not sure what that’s all about. I had to drop off a prescription at the neighborhood pharmacy on Mass Ave. While waiting for it, I browsed the grocery aisles. And lo and behold! There was a whole aisle of toilet paper! Now that’s hope!
The Power of Three
I saw a commercial with the catchy title “Wash Your Hands: You Have Skin In The Game;”
Gone Fishin’
Gone Fishing? The internet, which as we all know is never wrong, right, says this phrase means: "If someone has gone fishing they are not very aware of what is happening around them. The idea is that the person is there but their mind isn’t.“ What a great idea!
Real Silk Hosiery
As I walk along Massachusetts Avenue near my home, there is a most intriguing side alley. So intriguing that I stopped there on today’s walk. As you approach the alley, you smell the scent of roses. One smells this faint, floral aroma before you get to its origin.
Ann Dancing
Today’s walk took me along Vermont Street and Massachusetts Avenue. It’s harder than I thought to be all alone on the streets of downtown.
Mindful Breaths
William Pleve, pictured above, is my great-grandfather on my mom’s side. He was born on February 29, 1876. That means in actual birthdays he would be only 36 years old as his birthday falls on Leap day, meaning he celebrates only every four years!.
Aaron not Hur
As I was driving home the other evening, the song came on “With A Little Help from My Friends.” I am not a Beatles’ fan, never have been; however, the words of this song do resonant with me.
