“... the world can give you these glimpses 

as well as fairy tales can--the smell of rain, 

the dazzle of sun on white clapboard with 

the shadows of ferns and wash on the line, 

the wildness of a winter storm when 

in the house the flame of a candle 

doesn't even flicker.”   

         Frederick Buechner

Love is just the skin of knowing.

 William Paul Young

Keep Sun in Your Heart

Don't be pushed around by 

the fears in your mind. 

Be led by the dreams in your heart.

Simple Really

A   L   O   H   A  !

None is more impoverished than 

the one who has no gratitude. 

Gratitude is a currency that 

we can mint for ourselves, 

and spend without 

fear of bankruptcy.

         Fred De Witt Van Amburgh

Appreciation can change a day, 

even change a life. Your 

willingness to put it into words 

is all that is necessary.

      Margaret Cousins

Be patient, and presently the fog will clear

and that which has always been 

there can be seen. 

The path is already there to follow.

It has taken years of work on myself 

to become who I am today:

A Jerk Of Art!

Calmness is a superpower. 

The ability to not overreact or take things personally

You attract what you are, 

not what you want. 

So if you want it then reflect it.

If you can see the 

positive sides of everything, 

you'll be able to live a much 

richer life than others.

No snowflake ever falls

 When you have loved as she has loved, 

you grow old beautifully.

           W. Somerset Maugham

It is a well known phenomenon that 

time seems to speed up as we get older. 

Another truism, is that we humans love to go fast!

So I propose to enjoy my busy mornings and 

afternoons as they melt away. I will delight in the 

rhythm, as week follows week, as the months strobe by. 

I am savoring the sights, smells, and musings of the moments. Making them last.

Thanks for joining the frolic!

 The only way to find yourself 

is when you start being true 

to everyone around you.

             Anonymous

You really have to look inside yourself 

and find your own inner strength, 

and say, 'I'm proud of what I am 

and who I am, and I'm just 

going to be myself.

                   Mariah Carey

Cherish forever 

what makes you unique,

Find the love you seek, 

by first finding the love 

within yourself. Learn to 

rest in that place within you 

that is your true home.

One Step

A   L   O   H   A  !

Dignified Floating Giant

Our little bit can feel insignificant. 

But it is not nothing. It is something. 

Going from zero to one is significant. 

It is important. Millions of little ones, twos, 

and threes make all the big differences 

that are ever made in our world. 

Thank you for being a person who cares. 

Everything is happening all the time. 

Think about it. Today is the worst day ever 

to some, the most promising and exciting 

to others. Life goes on. Value your moments 

and hours. No one can buy more. 

Refusing to despair is a heroic choice. 

Buddha was walking one day with his friends 

when they were approached by an angry homeless man shouting. Buddha witnessed the man's suffering, silently wished him well, and continued on. His friends were amazed at how unruffled he remained throughout the encounter. "If someone offers you something, but you do not take it up, who does it belong to?" 

Buddha asked them.

It remains with the one holding it. 

We have the freedom to say "No thank you." 

No Thank You: to Anger, to Fear, to Hate.

I see you. I will not BE infected by you.

Be a witness. Be kind. Do one thing. 

Politely refuse. Notice the good and beautiful. 

They are everywhere.
