"Shed a little happiness my way."



This is the cutest pinhole I have ever seen.

I got bit by something that made my jaw swell and it still hasn't recovered. Although the pain is gone, the nasty bump isn't.

I packed a lot tonight and now my room is full of white walls and left over sticky tack piles. I've probably went a little overboard. I packed almost everything. I rushed it and now I have nothing to do but stare off into space and feel like a patient in a hospital. Speaking of which, when I was younger I used to make collages of similar items and send them to patients who didn't have anything to do or anyone to visit them. I'd spend days cutting out watches, flowers, shoes or people and paste them to cardboard. My mom said that the elderly would sit there and group the same colors together or count how many open toed sandals there were compared to boots. She said that in the end I was helping them become smarter. I used to think that was the coolest thing, to have such an impact so far away just by pasting photos together. I wonder where those posters are today...

Have you done anything simple but meaningful for someone lately?
