Find the Good, and Praise It.

I accidentally hit the Photo Booth icon on my laptop this morning, and it showed me this person: 

Me! looking like I could be a silver-hair model for designer Gudrun Sjoden...      

        LOL 😂 (This is a fluke of Morning Hair, I promise.)

 Sjoden, below, second from right.
Her stuff is nice, though beyond my price (though not insanely expensive, as nice fashion goes (a turtleneck is $68, corduroy pants $118).
Her drapey styles look best on tall people (not me).

I must stop saying things like, "I like Physics best."
There are so many things I like "best"--many varieties of wisdoms!
Like, Find the Good, and Praise It.

Another favorite is the Jewish concept Tikkun Olam--Mend the World. Or repair/ heal... its popular modern meaning. (Historically it has other meanings.)

Here, an artist friend I reconnected with this fall, Anita White, uses "Tikkun Olam" to illustrate/advertise SOUP FOR YOU---serving free hot soups, with salad and dessert, for anyone, every weekday in a church a couple miles from the thrift store.

Anita's motto is, ""Nothing is so scary you can' t draw it!"

Soup for You! was started by Chef Judah:

"Born in the ghetto of Tunis, an Arab/Jewish child of a Holocaust survivor, Chef Judah was orphaned at an early age and became a child beggar.

“I was hungry the first 8 years of my life” says Chef Judah. Thankfully, he was adopted and brought to America as an immigrant/refugee... More than 40 year ago, he landed in Minneapolis, where he experienced homelessness and hunger once again.

“I was a troll and lived underneath the Franklin Ave Bridge, for an entire year.”
After surviving the streets, Chef Judah found himself at St. Martin’s Table, a non-profit café and bookstore. For the next 15 years, he honed his skills there in global vegetarian soup making."

I would like to meet him! I must go for lunch one day.

A couple good things I saw online:

I didn't love the book The Salt Path, but the movie looks promising--to be released in April 2025:

Another women's march after the 2nd inauguration of DT, this time called a People's March:

And, I want to read her book, Orbital, about a day above Earth:

Finally—not from online—bink taking the new bears out to see the world, as they requested a Grand Tour. Here in the bird sanctuary by lake Harriet, a mile from my apartment:

Off to work now.

May your hair look good or other good things come to you today!
