What a wonderful thing the barber is doing. That ultramarathon runner looks amazing. I love a beautiful beach view.
ReplyDeleteThere are some wonderful people in the world. I like the way the barber spent his day off.
ReplyDeleteIva Barr, 85, ran a marathon in the UK - for charity, but I read of a 91 year old who ran in San Diego. I don't think I will ever have the stamina!
wow - impressed by what the barber does on his day off and kudos to that 71 year old lady - wow

One of my all time favorite quotes - "I've got nothing to do today but smile" - it rattles through my head every once in while. For some reason, I could swear that a very similar line is to be found in an old Crosby, Stills and Nash song.
