Action and reactions,
ebb and flow,
trial and error,
change ~ this is the rhythm of living.
Out of our over-confidence, fear;
out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope.
And out of hope, progress.


~ Bruce Barton

Dance, when you're broken open.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance when you're perfectly free.

Love





I was in Barnes & Noble earlier looking through spiritual and motivational books. Suddenly a lady approached me and asked, "Excuse me, what is your religion?' I replied, "My religion is LOVE!" She smiled and didn't say anything. She simply just walked away. 


Camera





Life is like a camera, just focus on what’s important and capture the good times, develop from the negative and if things don’t work out, just take another shot.

Blogging time





Chores are done. Christmas decorations are up. Baking cookies and doing the laundry while updating my blog.  A productive day indeed!




Saturday



It's raining outside, 
I'm still in bed, 
watching a movie, 
and sipping a hot hazelnut cappuccino...
a perfect Saturday morning indeed.

December






December

I like days
with a snow-white collar,
and nights when the moon
is a silver dollar,
and hills are filled
with eiderdown stuffing
and your breath makes smoke
like an engine puffing.

I like days
when feathers are snowing,
and all the eaves
have petticoats showing,
and the air is cold
and the wires are humming,
but you feel all warm...
with Christmas coming.

--Aileen Fisher
