Peaceful Smiles
(This could go on and on.)
You get the idea. A smile is definitely a declaration of peace and joy.

1922 — Anita — 2022
Today our church, Asbury Memorial here in Savannah, celebrated the life of our oldest member Anita Clay, who passed away this week at the age of 100.
Anita led an amazing life. One tiny snippet: She was a founding member of the local quirky, funky Crabettes band.
We will miss you, our Anita.
May you beautifully Rest in Peace.
Oh, and the Crabettes played at the luncheon following Anita’s joyous memorial service.
Here’s a link to Anita’s full obituary …

Over the valley and through the woods, gathering collards we go. 🎶
Walking in Habersham Village toward our favorite little bar and grill in Savannah, Robert and I saw this …
A mountain of beautiful pre-Thanksgiving collards! Being carefully pulled into our favorite little neighborhood grocer, The Red and White.
The sight brought a sudden jolt of JOY into my heart.
I love collards! They are deliciously beautiful. And they exude such leafy and cruciferous strength.
Collards greens have strong spines!
My weekly list of a few “joy inciters” in my life. A Friday Gratitude Journal, of sorts.
1. The beautiful bottlebrush plant we saw recently on a walk here in Savannah.
What a cool and fitting name! And it’s SO friendly. It colorfully whispered in my ear, “You know, Neal, Christmas is coming! Joy to the world!”
2. Pine. Oh, the glorious appearance and aroma of pine!
3. Comfortable shoes.
4. Always having enough food to eat. (I so often take that blessing for granted.)
5. The beach.
May Peace shine on you this weekend before Thanksgiving.
1. More Savannah fall sidewalk beauty to process.
2. Speaking of beauty, a beautiful little turtle I filmed (10 seconds, watch it!) at the education center at Sapelo Island this week. We really hit it off.
Let’s call her Autumn!
3. Unique walkways.
4. Today. Simply having TODAY. What a reason to rejoice!
5. Spanish moss and Robert.
May you have So Much to love this weekend!
