Good News Monday!

I have fallen in love with Caroline Schmitt's photography. Since I'm subscribed to her blog, I get these amazing infusions of GOOD to make my week beautiful. I particularly liked this picture. We are indeed ALL ONE.

We grow, grow, steady as the morning
We grow, grow older still
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
We grow, grow, older still 
We grow, grow, steady as the flowers
We grow, grow, older still

With so many customers jammed together, it must have seemed an ideal place to beg. But with four plastic grocery bags already cutting into my hands, I wanted the walk home behind me.

A little good news on a Monday!
