Sharon, I can talk 'em but I can't always walk 'em! lol
Give your beautiful grandaughters a big hug from me (and keep one for yourself!) and tell them that I have my eye on them!

WOW, Linda, all the way around!! And I too, from time to time, am the talker and not the walker. Some times it is easier to see that someone else isn't doing what they should...when...if I just look around...I will see that I am just as guilty as the one I am talking to. Thanks, Linda, for this...I will be keeping it as my little reminder.
God bless, m'friend! Hugs to you...

I agree with all you have mentioned here dear Linda.. But there are times when it sure is hard to follow through eh? Excellent write.. *Keep an eye on the sky there today*  Hugs YOU!Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that. Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near. When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back

Yes, there are times when what appears the wrong way to "Be" is the better way to go! There can be extenuating circumstances that shake things up a bit! lol
Thanks for dropping by and leaving such a thoughtful reply!
