The soup in the photo above was my lunch today.. and represents the gratitude portion of my post today. My mother volunteers at a local church here in Hallowell. My mother had mentioned to the woman she works that I wasn’t feeling well. When the woman came to pick up my mother this morning, to bring her to the church she dropped off this delicious homemade chicken soup for me. My gratitude is for this kind act and I am deeply appreciative.. thank you Helene 
The giving portion today has been a little difficult as I’ve had a lot of things going on today and didn’t get out at all. I was busy editing the last of the wedding photographs and dealing with some personal issues that came up over the last few days. So.. my giving today will be prayers. They go to to people for different reasons.. the first is to Hayley whom I was supposed to be seeing at the end of the week which would be the first time in two months I would see her. Well she is sick.. her roommate has the flu and was sent home for a week a couple of days ago and now Hayley herself is sick and quarantined to her room for one week. So.. I will not be able to go down to visit nor will my sister and her kids as they were going to as well. To Hayley I am thinking of you and giving you my healing thoughts and prayers.
The other giving thought is to someone who is close to me and all I will say is you are in my prayers as well for reasons of which you know..
The leaf in the photo represents my thoughts being taken and passed along to you both..
Peace
