“Do not allow negative 

feelings and emotions to

 control your mind. -

- Emotional harm does not 

come from others; 

it is conceived 

and developed 

within ourselves.”

Dreamy, Magical, Hot

A  L  O  H  A !

" Crossing 

the uplands of time, 

Skirting 

the borders of night, 

Scaling 

the face of 

the peak of dreams, 

We enter the 

region of light, -

- And hastening on 

with eager intent, 

Arrive at the 

rainbow's end,  

- And here uncover

 the pot of gold, 

Buried deep in 

the heart of a friend. "

Scatter Gather Rather

" It's not what you gather,

but what you scatter 

that tells what kind of life

you have lived. "

" One gives freely, 

yet grows all the richer; 

another withholds 

what he should give, 

and only suffers want. "

                        Proverbs 11:24

" For with the 

measure you use, 

it will be 

measured to you."

It does seem to be

 the Givers

who get the most

out of life: 

In good measure,

pressed down,

shaken together;

Plenty to share.

Much of what

others most need

from ourselves

is free,

within the realms of

attitude & behavior.

The world you believe in

builds itself around you,

or rather:

YOU build it

every day.

I'm placing this post

right HERE,

just SO.

Another brick

in the walk.

Thank You 

for lingering!
