Today I'm going with the "parade" theme. I am grateful that there are people who will go out in the rain to make a parade for a little town! I am posting a photo from our St. Augustine, FL parade. Look at the man in front. Obviously, he is struggling with his decision to participate - but he showed up. Good for him. Sometimes that's all we can do.

Having said that, @gingerw - I am so impressed that you were part of the Rose Bowl Parade. How exciting! I think anybody who is part of that is practically famous! Thanks for sharing that. And @jodeej - I LOVE that you made a snowman with your new friend who never saw snow. What a generous, childlike heart you must have. And I mean childlike in the best, magical, loving sense of the word. And finally, @hopeful33250 - Teresa, I am writing down your words "good enough." I used to have a boss who said "Don't let excellent become the enemy of good." Maybe it came from some famous person, I can't attribute it to anyone, but I had forgotten it and your words brought it back. I'm going to use that in my gratitude journey.

@debbraw On 1 Jan look for the Donate Life float, titled "Rhythm of the Heart", It Is Africa themed. Big native drums and colors. The theme of the parade this year is "Music of Life". I couldn't help but think about the art as healing posts we've had here on Connect. Since everything on the flats are natural materials, it is astounding how many thousands of hours are needed to complete the plans.
Bless those parade participants for donning plastic capes andcontinuig - that's dedication!
@parus @hopeful33250 - today you are good enough to be good enough to today. Remember that.

@debbraw it was such fun. It made me feel like a kid again. I hope to make one with my grandson this winter. 🙂
