Feel Good Friday

I don't know about you, but these past several weeks, I've really looked forward to Friday because of Kym's Sanctuary posts. She always has such a fun mix of something interesting, something beautiful, and something funny. But Kym is taking a well-deserved break to have a visit with her sister this week, and because I've been busy with actual work this week and don't have a lot of usual content to share, I thought I would take a page from her book and share some things that I hope will lift your spirits a bit. I'm a bit crunched for time, so this post won't be anywhere close to Kym's level of perfection, but if I can make you smile or chuckle, I'll be happy.

First, if you're a fan of dogs and you aren't following WeRateDogs on whatever social media channel you use, you're missing out. Truly, their posts are some of the best parts of my day. This post from the other day made me laugh out loud:


Next, are you familiar with red pandas? Molly was a little obsessed with them for a while, especially when we started watching videos of them trying to look tough when facing a very threatening ... rock.


Finally, if you want to see some beautiful photography, I'll direct you to the site of my favorite local photographer. He does a lot of shots of Pittsburgh, which might or might not interest you, but he also takes gorgeous photos of nature and landscapes. Here are a few examples:




If you like these, I'd encourage you to check out his galleries (and I won't be offended in the least if you don't feel a need to browse the Pittsburgh photos!).

Have a good weekend, remember there is beauty out there to be seen, and do your best to have a good laugh.

    I love red pandas, especially when they encounter each other with their paws up, but haven't seen this one trying to look larger to a rock. And Dave Dicello's photography is beautiful. I like his outdoor landscapes and he has some interesting views of Pittsburgh. Thanks for sharing and Happy Weekend!

    Dave Dicello is a fantastic photographer! I concur! (and I especially love his Pittsburgh images! Ha!) I laughed at that "menacing" Red Panda... beware rock! Haha! And I love We Rate Dogs!

    That puff-ball of fur, I had to read the comments to even orient my brain correctly. Thanks for the Friday uplift!

    What a wonderful collection of Good Things! Bronwyn and I had a good chuckle over that pup in the first picture. I hope you have a great weekend!

    Nice job giving us some feel good things, Sarah! I follow red pandas on TikTok and they are so stinking cute, they always make me smile.

    Nicely done, Sarah! Those photographs are stunning. and I'm finding myself craving fall - turning leaves, cooler temps/lower humidity, that "chill in the air" that makes a hot beverage outside not seem crazy, and maybe even a not-bright pedicure? ... all of which that first photo simply reinforced.
