Description

*****
This floral is a dedication photo for Pom, aka Laura Swan. No particular reason. Anyone who knows her understands.
Laura's kindness and great sense of humor, not to mention her creative ability, have lifted everyone's spirits for years. Time for a bit of payback ~ in a positive way.
Thank you for being a friend, Pom!

Mare! :))) Thank you so MUCH. :))) You sweet lady! A little birdy from half way around the world told me you had made me something special and you sure did! What beautiful flowers from a beautiful lady.

Thank you for all you said.

You say I lift spirits but anyone that knows *you*, knows that YOU leave us all with confidence, smiles and laughs and you have such a special and sincere way of making us all feel great. :) Like I feel at this very moment.

Thank you so much. This is such a sweet surprise. And yet I am not surprised. This was Very-MARY! :D

Thank you again and thank you, each person, that added to the kindness here, too!

HUG HUGS from CANADA!!!

Love, Purple Pom-ysthanamum :D HeeHee xoxoxo #10064461

Thank you very much, Inge, Tammy, Tia, Gord, Jack, Carolyn, Bobby, Nancy, Ann, Mariann, and Barbara, for your warm and friendly words for both Laura and me. I appreciate it, and I KNOW Pom does!

Pom, I was telling my new doctor how personable she is, and she thanked me, saying, "Not many people say NICE things to doctors..."
That's not good!!
I hope more people will say nice things to each other, and if this thread prompts a few to do that, you and I are two pebbles in a pond, rippling good vibes out into the world. And wouldn't that be lovely? :) #10064537

VERY lovely. We never know the total impact being kind can really have on others. Maybe our kinds words are the only ones a person has heard all day or even all week or worse. I think of that a lot.

I think that is part of why we might, and do really, appreciate our family and friends on BP. Our work is important to us all and we never know...maybe no one at home recognizes the persons talents or gets any moral support...but on here we do and it means so much!

If we could all say a kind word or more to each person we speak with in our day, our lives would be so rich with joy! No matter the circumstances or health or home, etc! I know first hand! And I know you do to and so many here as well!

Smiling is contagious and so is kindness. Thank you again. Night night 4am here! Eek! And I meant to go to bed at 1 .

-Pommy a yawn! (Yawning is contagious, too. Did you just yawn...) #10064650

Kirsten Kiki Kjaer March 30, 2012

You're absolutely right, Mary.
And what a sensational image this is. Big WOW to the colors and details. A winner in my book. #10067546

Mary K. Robison March 31, 2012

Thanks very much for your supportive response to this, Kiki!
And, Pom ~ I didn't mean to bypass your thoughtful observations above. Asleep at the switch! BTW, does yawning now still count? ;)
Hope you had a nice visit with your in-laws. But I think you're probably pooped tonight! #10068316

Heather Loewenhardt level-classic March 31, 2012

Popped is right and tomorrow is a birthday DRESS UP party for April fools across the city. I'm MORE tired already!!! Many gifts to wrap, too. The party is for an adorable 4 year old... :)))

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone and thank you again Mare. :) xoxoxo
