I wonder what other people would say about that list and about yesterday’s photos.
What other people say includes praise, F-bombs, and everything in between. What’s more important is what we say or don’t say in return.
Here’s “People Say” by Don Diablo featuring Paije.
No matter what other people say, I always end with gratitude.
Thank you Ann and have a nice weekend!!!

What other people say can be very musical!
I like to hear what other people say.
I like to hear what you say, Maureen.
I say you always sock it to ‘em, Ann.
What you say means a lot, Mark.
Blow me! Each time I thought of an addition to you comprehensive s
list, I scrolled down, and you had included it. I gave up 🙂
After reading your comment, I could add
– startle,
– engage,
– blow.
Great to see you saying again, Derrick!
🙂
A picture is worth a thousand words, as the young and old folks often say, and you’ve got me thinking about how written language allows me to see what you’re saying. Words are pictures, and vice versa.

What you say, Chris, always illuminates.
What “they say” says rarely is based on personal knowledge or facts. I ignore “they say”. Usually “they say” doesn’t even exist!
What you say makes sense!
