When You Rise In The Morning, Give Thanks For The Light, For Your Life, For Your Strength. Give Thanks

When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Tecumseh Joy and gratitude....one feeds the other until you're not quite sure where one ends and the other begins. Take this shot, for example, what do you see first? Do you see just another street with a dirt pile & construction equipment? Or, perhaps, do you see the beauty of the late evening light, how it makes the greens pop against the rolling grey clouds in contrast with the dark shadows & asphalt of the street? Beauty is everywhere, things to be grateful for are hiding in the most mundane stuff you see everyday.....just waiting for you to discover them.....little G-d gifts......just when you need them.....always at the right time and place......yeah, He's THAT good..... Bon Mercredi, mes amis!

Belated Mother’s Day lunch today, avoiding the crowds yesterday……thank you Maddy!! 😘 Now, go back to minding the GAP…….lol….Bon Lundi, mes Amis!!

When you turn 17 on Saturday & really don’t want your picture taken…..apparently, you resort to the “ Cousin It” look…..not the first place my mind would’ve gone, but I think she pulled it off…lol….if you could see under this mass of gorgeous hair, you’d see she’s rather chuffed(the grin would give it away)…..cheeky, this one ;-)…..Bon Jeudi, mes amis!

You can dance in the storm. Don’t wait for the rain to be over before because it might take too long. You can do it now. Wherever you are, right now, you can start, right now; this very moment. Israelmore Ayivor. Yes, yes, let’s do this, let’s dance in the storm…..doesn’t matter that you have two left feet and are the biggest klutz this side of the pond(Me!:-)…….let’s dance in the storm & revel in the rain & trust that He will bring the sunshine in His time…..may I have this dance;-) ? Bon Jeudi, mes amis!

Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul. Luther Burbank Friday flowers for a friend….mostly from the garden….sunshine, food & medicine for the soul indeed, for the designer as well as the recipient:-)…..Joyeux Vendredi, mes amis!

Don’t wait for someone to bring you flowers. Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul. - Luther Burbank. Indeed, don’t wait for someone to bring you flowers, though, I’d be happy to oblige ;-)…….and even if you don’t choose to plant your own literal garden, stop to admire someone else’s and let the exquisite beauty of those flowers bring the happy dance to your own soul & decorate away…..Bon Mercredi, mes amis!
