time goes so quickly
love fiercely laugh frequently
make your moments count
Bless you for stopping by today, I always appreciate your visits. I have decided to take a summer break from blogging as my oldest daughter will be leaving for college in 6 weeks and I want to spend a lot more time away from my computer. Time flies………don’t let it pass you by.
See you in September……..

Wishing all of you who care for others a very blessed Mothers’ Day Weekend.
In the spirit of caring for others, my question for you today is, “Since becoming chronically ill, what is one of the greatest acts of kindness you have been shown?”
~ Thank you very much for taking time to stop by and comment. I deeply appreciate the sharing of ideas that takes place among this communtiy and your interactions are such a joy to participate in.
May today be kind to you. ~

life has a way of leaving us with scars…….well traveled paths embedded into our brains dictating to us how we view and experience life, how we see ourselves and the way we react to life’s experiences.
many times we are not even conscious of these thoughts…….they have been implanted, taught or rehearsed over many years………
much like the sand, the wind manipulates by force how to display itself with out even asking for permission…..
today, I am sending out a gentle reminding that YOU have feet, you CAN move in a positive direction, you can begin to CHANGE your thoughts, beliefs, desires, and choices………only you can take away the power of the past.

On the day that many associate with love, I would like to send a HUGE thank you to those of you who help care for others. Chronic illness puts an enormous strain on relationships and too many people who are stricken are eventually abandoned to continue their fight on their own. When I read about situations like these, it literally breaks my heart. No one ever wants to rely on someone else to take care of them, but life has a way of putting us in situations that we do not deserve or desire.
So to all you caregivers out there, Thank You again for giving of yourself so unshelfishly, for staying, for loving, for listening, for assisting, for praying, for loving and for encouraging healing. You have no idea what a huge blessing you are for those of us lucky enough to have you in our lives.
Te quiero me amor!

Through the sounds of the seasons
Allowing us to hear His mighty roar through a storm
His gentle touch from the falling rain
His whispers through the wind
His guidance through the moon
His infinity through the heavens
See His beauty in the autumn landscape
His attention to detail within a butterfly
His peace through the face of a sleeping child
And His genius in creating the fascinating, stunning, genuinely original, and lovable YOU ~

the rustling of leaves holding tightly to their branches
the crunching sounds of fallen leaves under your feet
the whirling of the leaves dancing in the wind
and geese honking their good-byes overhead
the lonely cry of an owl
the cool rains that fall down from heaven
the music of this magical season…………..

my thoughts are pebbles
bouncing around in my mind
keeping them afloat
……..wishing you a day that your thoughts remain positive

the delicate tea cups sit on a shelf
dreaming delightful thoughts of being filled
waiting upon the day to soak in their sweet promises
one by one, year after year
the cups crash unto the floor
shattering into hundreds of pieces
leaving an unrecognizable pattern on the floor
too tired and distraught to sweep up the fragments
a graveyard of wishes for me to mourn
the last cup sits upon the shelf
teetering
and all i can do is hold my breath
whispering a silent prayer that this one will remain.

I am one who wholeheartedly believes in showing kindness, thankfulness and gratitude.
But, there are days I need to be more, much more, I need to be a dragon: fierce, relentless, strong, powerful, self-reliant, who is able to burn a path for myself to tread.
How else am I to live ill, every – single – day, and still go on!?
Today I choose to be the dragon!
Taking flight soar as I please
Shooting fire below
To make my path more at ease
