"Candid Camera" was a wonderful show, because it made people smile, laugh and forget about their problems for the moment. Every show ended with "Somewhere, when you least expect it, someone might walk up to and say, Smile! You're on Candid Camera."
Sometimes I smile for no apparent reason as I walk through the mall and people look at me with a quizzical "do I know you?" look and usually they smile back.
At the restaurant table next to me, one day, was a group of "special" people communicating with strange odd sounds. I admired how patient and kind their caregivers were with them. As they left, I said "Hi" to one of them and was rewarded with a very loud laugh right next to my face. She was so pleased and excited that someone smiled at her and noticed her as a person.

'Cause there's a mile between the two SS.

What's What About Me
Welcome to my blog. I hope it brightens your day, and lightens your steps.
I'm a proud mother of two, grandmother of six, great-grandmother of one, a florist, love singing, music, my church, gardening, eating out and puzzles. I've been married to the same great man for almost 50 years.
I have a special love for the disabled and the elderly.
***********************************************
As a young girl, I was fascinated with the Royal Family and collected every picture I could find and carefully pasted them into a scrapbook. (check my first blog) I vividly remember King George's death and Queen Elizabeth's coronation as very important events. I also love the Bible story of Queen Esther, hence, the name of my blog.
I am not a deep, philosophical thinker, but observe and write about simple lessons we can learn from our everyday life experiences.

Blessings on You, the Reader

Hi Esther:
Thanks for your continuing thoughts. I appreciate your words on your blogs - they give me reminders of how often it is the little things that make a great impact. May I be faithful in the everyday things today.

Good thoughts ! My husband's first response to a siren is to pray for the people who may be hurt.
It is true, our automatic response is that we hope it isn't one of our loved ones, but of course it is SOMEONE'S loved one.
I came upon your site via your sister and brother-in-law (the Froeses). They happened to be visiting in our church this morning and sat behind us. After church your sister asked my husband if he was a Klassen -- she remembered him from her childhood! So we had a nice visit! -- and before we parted, Vic (my husband) asked about you and we learned you had a blog!!
