In quiet moments
Thoughts take flight,
With you, my friend,
They find their light.
In solitude
I've often roamed,
Yet in our words
I feel at home.
Like angels consoling
through the night,
We share all dreams,
All favors requite.
Our conversations
Dance with wings,
So natural with you:
These significant things!
. . .A bond's been woven,
Deep and true,
Of everything I share
With you.
Of all the things
You share with me
Instantly our hearts agree.
Thank you for being
My guiding star,
My message friend,
No distance too far.
Together we speak
In a sacred space,
With every word
We find our grace.
So here’s my heart
In verses penned—
Grateful always
For you, my friend.

Be an encourager.
The world has plenty
of critics already.

The greatest weapon
against stress is our
ability to choose one
thought over another.
William James
The key to finding
happiness in this life is
realizing that the only way
to overcome is to transcend;
to find happiness in the
simple pleasures, to master
the art of just being.
