Winter always feels like nature’s way of pressing pause, giving us time to reflect and recharge. In these quieter moments, I’ve discovered that the warmth of past adventures, heartfelt connections, and cherished memories bring a little sunshine to my snowy days. So even when the world outside is a blanket of white, I remind myself there’s always a bit of summer within me, waiting to shine through.
Write from your heart but edit from your mind.
“Whispered nothings can mean the world to an aching heart.” – Amanda Ricks
“Everyone needs a safe place. Whether it be literal or just mentally. Because nothings perfect, life can suck at times, and we all need somewhere to go and recoup.” – Amanda Ricks
Words are incredible things. A thousand of them can create a picture. Words can create a joyful mind and comfort a soul. They also make life long promises and heart strong vows.
But remember this. Words also break hearts, ruin lives, and betray confidences.
They are powerful things.
So, Speak carefully my friend because you may not see where your words are going and what they will ultimately do.
Since Betty is my constant companion it seems fitting that a shot of her be my first post.
