Make a Beautiful Day!

Sometimes it takes

a really beautiful day

to wake us up to the wonders

of  the world around us.

A Blossoming flower

a sunny sky~

sometimes

these are the only things

our eyes look for

and value as worthwhile...

But there is so much more 

to life,

so much more to enjoy,

if we can learn to see

with our hearts as well

as our eyes.

To be aware of each day,

each experience,

as a separate wonder

of its own,

to meet each challenge eagerly

and grasp each moment

with a sense of newness

and discovery~~

this is what living is really all about.

As I meditate on those words from a little book my friend gave me years ago, I realize the truth of in each word.  The beauty in all that's around us.  The snow and ice has melted away and the daffodils are blooming and soon the trees will be all dressed in green.  The smell of flowers in the air, with children laughing and playing, brings joy to my heart.

I picked a bouquet of daffodils to brighten up the table.  Made myself a cup of tea and a plate with banana cake and strawberries.  I whipped up some fresh heavy cream. I didn't bake the cake, it's a Sara Lee Snack Cake,  A nice quiet time to ponder my thoughts is always a treat.  With all the problems in this world and in our own daily lives, it's good to take a time to be alone to clear our thoughts.

Have A Blessed Day!
