"It takes a lot to start your fire but once you're on you burn bright and no one can stop you. There's no shade from the shine you bring and it's important to remind yourself you have what it takes to light the way. You may feel like your contributions go unnoticed but just a spark of your creativity changes everything."

I hope for the British citizens this does not happen to you too. This news article isn't a surprise, it's just the norm here. youtube.com/post/Ugkx6ft...

For the beauty in small things! #flowers

Orange wildflower can be seen next to a couple of white flowers. All look small next to all the grass around it and a wooden fence.

Beautiful blooms on this tree! I don't know what kind of fruit tree it is but I imagine it will have lots of produce with flowers like these. #flowers #spring

The girls heard dogs barking outside that they haven't heard before. They went from sleeping to this focused. I cannot wake up that fast! #dogsky #husky

MoMo is my old blind man. He was enjoying today's Midwest wind. #dogsky

The flowering trees are in bloom. I am surprised this photo came out okay because it was very windy today in the Hoosier state and the branch kept moving during the shot. #nature #spring #flower

Close up photo of a cluster of light pink flowers on a tree branch. The blue sky can be seen between the branches.

I got sick at 23 & spent 5 years bedridden as specialists labeled my condition “idiopathic”. A physician’s assistant refused to accept that answer. She saved my life. On #RareDiseaseDay, remember: People are often dismissed while suffering. Just being aware is the first step toward healing. 💙

Post something beautiful to combat the awful. Art by Gretel Lusky gretlusky.com

Photo of a painting with a boarder of different art supplies. The painting is of a mermaid holding a child size goldfish in a comforting embrace. The mermaid has red hair flowing up in the water. Her tail is the same color and texture as the goldfish. Some smaller goldfish are in the background and kelp surrounds them.

The first two seasons were so good! I haven't seen the third one yet either, but I am looking forward to it. I must know what happens with Misty!

Christina Ricci as Misty in Yellowjackets. This photo is of a close up of her face. She has short, blond, and curly hair. She is pushing up her round glasses and her facial expression is intense, even crazy.

I see CeCe Moore on true crime shows all the time and I looked her up today. She has helped identify "suspects in over 300 cold cases using DNA and genetic genealogy." That is superhero status! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CeCe_Mo...

Photo of CeCe Moore looking at the camera. She has long curly blond hair and glasses. She is wearing a black top and necklace. Her facial expression is serious.

I picked this book for January, but I hope to have other chess players join and make recommendations for our February's poll to pick the club's second book. #chess #booksky

Book cover of "Chess for Life by Matthew Sadler and Natasha Regan". It shows an adult and a child playing chess outside on a large park table. Both the adult and child are in black shadows. Text on the bottom says 'Understanding how chess skills develop and change with the passage of time."

If you are on Fable and play chess, I'd love to have you join this casual book club. Feel free to join for the community, even if you don't read the monthly books. #booksky #chess fable.sng.link/Ali7l/etuk?_...

No surprise. I grew up with this red hat lady.

Cover of a computer game, Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego. There is a picture of a lady in a big red hat and wearing a red jacket. She is holding a man in a gloved hand. Text on the cover says it was made for Windows 95/97.

Are you looking to start the 2026 year with a forever bestie? My neighbor's labradors had puppies and they are now old enough to be adopted. If you are near southern Indiana and ready to fill your life with the love only a fur baby can give, let me know! #dogsky

I read 51 books in 2025, although the year isn't quite over yet. The Last Cuentista was my favorite and a complete surprise. It was a VIP book on audiobook.com so I went into the novel blind. The story had so much depth in characters and world building. I highly recommend it! #booksky

The book cover looks like a painting. In the center is a young woman's face that has half in an orange glow and half in a blue light where the face appears to be part of a tree. There are orange and blue objects around the face, including a flower, the moon, and a cactus. The book title is in white over the face and says "the last cuentista" and the bottom says "New York times bestseller Donna Barba Higuera".

Tonight I made Italian Cherry Almond Cookies to go with Earl Grey tea. I couldn't resist using the cherry cups! 🍒 These cookies are really tasty. I will be making them again! #madefromscratch www.ambitiouskitchen.com/cherry-almon...

Cookies with a cherry and powdered sugar are on a cooling rack. A Christmas themed popcorn tin can be seen in the background as well as two cups with cherries on the design.

I realize this must seem normal to most people, but as someone from Phoenix, the water freezing as it comes down the gutter is hilarious! 😂 I never thought this was possible!

Ice is coming out of a gutter runoff looking like an ice fountain.

I took pictures of all the dogs eating, but my basset hound, Randy Bobandy, was the funniest. He couldn't be bothered to stand up. He is still curled up on the blanket and just using his long face to reach the treat!

A basset hound dog is laying on a white blanket while leaning their head far in order to eat a treat shaped like a dog bone while remaining laying down.

Over Thanksgiving 🦃 I made these peanut butter dog treats. 🦴 I made another batch with an added cup of pumpkin puree. 🎃 And I had to top it off with some whipped cream! #dogsky 12tomatoes.com/coconut-oil-...

Five cups are full of whipped cream and a dog bone treat can be seen poking out. The cups are on a wooded table and a white dog can be seen in the corner.

I screenshot this because I found the difference between the photos was amazing. They were taken less than six months apart, but in the second photo I was divorced. I only wish I left that toxic relationship sooner!

Screenshot of Facebook Recent Logins. Text says "Click your picture or add an account". There are two pictures of the same person. Under the picture labeled 'Sara' there is a woman with short brown hair, wearing red glasses. She has a round face and a strained smile. The next photo labeled "Sara Ann" is in black and white. The photo is taken outside with trees in the background. The woman has her hair pulled back and is smiling with both her mouth and eyes.

I caught the banshee that has been haunting us on camera. Banshees are SO loud! #dogsky
