W^2 – flipside

On my way home last week I took the above photo. The world learned of death the previous day and many people shared the sign’s sentiment.

And the other side of the sign…….the flipside.

I didn’t pay any attention to it at the time, but is the flipside is brighter. It faces the sun in the later afternoon and is fully illuminated on a beautiful sunny late summer afternoon.

The other side is in the shade and appears darker, even though it is a positive thought.

There are always two ways to look at things – we can be sad, or we can be happy for the memories we have and what learned.

We played her song “9 to 5” in the hallways Friday when school let out for the weekend. Many of the students were signing the words as they walked to their bus, their pickup, or walk home.

Dolly helped us smile one more time.

We finished Day 13 today, but who’s counting when you are making the days count? We have a lot more to go, so I’d better finish this post and mow the lawn before I am mowing by flashlight.

Making the Days Count, one day at a time……..
