Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/23/26
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts
1. Water. What a blessing!
2. Voting!
3. Enjoying our church’s annual God on Broadway services during the month of October.
“God on Broadway brings theatre and theology together in a worship experience unlike any other. Each week, music and scenes inspired by a Broadway musical help us explore the deeper questions, stories, and messages that connect with our faith.” Asburymemorial.org
Such Fun!
4. The ability to hear!
What do you hear right now?
5. This incredible field of sunflowers Robert discovered today as we drove up to nearby Statesboro.
May you discover beauty this weekend.
Shhh … Silent Sunday 10/18/26
Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/16/26
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts
1. The Autumn decor in the foyer of the condo where we are crashing in Ponte Vedra FL this week.
2. Robert’s nickname: “Squirrel.”
3. The ability to walk. At least for now. The condo where HR and I are staying has a large number of senior citizens, many of whom struggle to walk, aided by canes and walkers.
4. Always, ALWAYS having enough food to eat. What a blessing that I often forget is a blessing.
5. Just finishing this incredibly well made, four-part docu-series about the rise and fall of the dinosaurs. Absolutely fascinating!
May you have a Joyful-saurus Weekend Ahead.
“The Artful Dodger” #30
A mostly silly blog category about finding “art” in unexpected places and situations
So Coastal and I were out for our daily 7:30 a.m. it’s-time-to-do-our-business morning walk …
… when seemingly out of nowhere, I heard a deep, gravelly voice angrily yell, “DO NOT TRAMPLE ON ME!”
I looked around, saw nothing, looked down—and saw him.
Coastal and I jumped aside and trod TarMack’s way no more.

“Coastal”
Robert and I drove down to Ponte Vedra FL with daughter Amy’s “Coastal” in the back seat for a week at the beach.
“Coastal” is an English Cocker Spaniel, with according to Amy, “liver roan” coloring.” Okay.
What a beautifully loving little being.
Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 10/12/26
Marveling this Sunny-in-Ponte-Vedra Monday.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/9/26
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts
1. Finding this little tree-looking leaf perched comfortably on the passenger mirror of our car (why did she decide to land there?) as we headed out to go who-knows-where the other morning. I was mesmerized for four or five seconds. (It doesn’t take a whole lot to mesmerize me.)
Robert: “Neal, get in! What are you staring at?!”
2. Young love.
Seriously, there’s such a day?! What about “National Arthritis in My Wrists Is Absolutely Killing Me Day”?
3. The ability to drive a car. And to have a car to drive! Everybody certainly does not have that blessing.
4. Walking along the Jacksonville Beach FL boardwalk and coming upon the iconic Art Deco Lifeguard Station.
5. A few sights of Autumn here in historic district Savannah.
May you Fall into a Joyful Weekend ahead.
Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 10/5/26
Marveling this rainy day and Monday. (Which didn’t get me down.)
Perspectives on southern Gothic-ish Spanish moss in Savannah.
Morning walk on Skidaway Island.
“It’s actually not a moss. As a flowering plant, Spanish moss is a bromeliad—and a relative of the pineapple.
And it’s actually not from Spain. According to legend, the name memorializes a Spanish conquistador who, while pursuing a Native American princess, got his beard tangled in the dense branches of the trees. A lesser-known Native American legend has it that the old, cold North wind lost his hair in an epic fight with the young, warm South wind.
It isn’t hurting the trees.
It changes color. While Spanish moss appears gray in dry weather, it takes on a greenish hue when it rains.” Jekyllisland.com
