Me too. Just can’t see the last one.

Delighted with this!

Hand-drawn illustration in warm tones of yellow, orange, and ochre with soft layered outlines and scattered dots for texture. In the centre, surrounded by ripple-like waves, is a handwritten message in black all-caps lettering: “Just because you carry it well, doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy.” The artwork is soft, supportive, and gently reminds us of the unseen weight people may be carrying.

“What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, more unashamed conversation.” Glenn Close

A reminder today… even if someone’s carrying it well, it might still be heavy…

You are not alone. 🧡

Funnily enough that’s just what I look like this morning!

Oof, so sorry. Are you a coffee person or is it beyond that?
I always find I need extra mascara on these sorts of days (waterproof obviously).
Good luck with your day.

I doubt you’ll be able to resist that beautiful expression!

I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending love.

From one cat lover to another, I am so sorry for your loss.

Good point, thank you!

Marmaduke, six, is reported to have been the subject of near constant vocal stimming by Ellie Mulligan, 32. In response, Marmaduke concealed a microphone within his floofy orange trousers, and he is now rich beyond his wildest dreams.

Happy Anniversary!

This picture makes me so sad. I don’t suppose you know what happened to the boys and if the one with smallpox recovered?

Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the badgers, for today is their special day!
