wOw! is one of those fabulous words that fits positive, negative and neutral situations.  It’s a word we can use when no other will work.  Lately, I’m feeling nudged to share some wOw! moments and Wednesdays seem the perfect day.  I may not post EVERY Wednesday, but when I do, I hope you’re nudged to share some of yours, too.

Here’s what made me say wOw! this week:

1. Being welcomed home by Blossom;
