I don't think I'll be doing an Etsy update today. Too gray for photos and too busy making stuff. I have some cool new supplies to share so I promise I'll put it high on the priority list for this weekend.
Here's what's hanging on my fridge. I tore it out of a recent Body + Soul magazine.
I've just about memorized The Secret on my iPod, so will now start listening to Bill Clinton's Giving. Just think how much better our world would be if we did one thing for someone or something each day. Here's fifty ideas to get us started. I hear there's a hundred at the back of Bill's book. I'll bet many of you already do things that aren't even on a list. 
Here's my answers to this week's Friday Fiver:
1. What makes you feel exposed? I'd have to go with being in my house after dark with the blinds open. I know people walk their dogs by here all the time...it's not that I'm doing anything I wouldn't want them to see, I just prefer an equal playing field; SEE and BE seen.
2. What do you have to force yourself to do? Clean John's bathroom. I'm not kidding. It may get done 3 times a year. Yes, that's gross. Sorry, but it's not mine and he said he'd do it.
3. Where do you like to spend your time outdoors? By the water. Walking along our bay waterfront, or driving a couple towns up the highway to walk along the magnificent ocean coast.
4. What surprises you? When retail employees not only know about what they're selling, but are also genuinely kind and helpful. (Now, isn't it sad that that surprises me?)
5. Friday fill-in: Late at night I'm sound asleep, no matter what!
And now, for your five minutes of zen:
(ps: I've linked this and other fav videos in a category to the left of this page)
enjoy the rest of your day, wherever you are!
Totally agree with #4...

Wow, I get to be first to say I loved that list of great ideas for giving.
Just looking someone in the eye and saying a sincere "thank you" when they serve you is an honor and makes the day bright for both of you.
Thanks so much for your bright and positive blog today.
