Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

The kindest word in all the world is the unkind word, unsaid. ~Author Unknown

  11. Lovely images and wonderful thoughts as always. The last one by Willa Cather speaks to me as I'm using my older S L O W laptop while running a MalwareBytes scan on the newer one after a nasty Blue Screen Crash this morning (and several over the past few days). Perhaps I should just take Molly for a walk along the beach. Hope you're having a less stressful day than mine. Thanks for helping me calm down a bit ;-)
    Hugs and blessings,

  12. (You stupid dimwit)

    Hey, it was unsaid and it was certainly unkind. So was it the kindest word? What is this supposed to mean? I kinda get it but not really. Anyway, now you have to keep this as it follows the wisdom, right?:-)
