Full Moon
The night sky hovers
The trees raise to greet
Strawberry Moon glows radiant

Blessings
Smile! Imagine Peace.
You Matter. Breathe.
Be Happy! And Dream.
Have Faith and Hope
Syllablic Verse
My grand-daughter and I had a “painting day” together today. We had fun painting inspirational rocks to put in my rock garden.
She was very creative and imaginative and turned two of the rocks into a horse face! š
Coming Home
Thereās no place like home
Monoku
Dorothy said it best: ā Thereās no place like homeā
I just got home from a 4 day visit to the coast, where I had a wonderful time sightseeing, spending time at the ocean beach collecting rocks and shells, meeting new people, eating great food staying at a wonderful Inn and just having a great adventure.
But, arriving home, walking into my cozy living room and relaxing on my comfy couch is the best feeling.
Itās nice to get away but itās always good to come home.
And I am giving thanks this evening that I have a nice home to come to.
Buttercup Blessings
You matter
So bloom
Wherever
Whenever
You can
Alone?
So what!
Someone
Will notice
Your smile
Perhaps
You will
Cheer them
Along
Their way
Syllabic Verse
Yesterday on my walk I was tired from the uphill climb to get to the grocery store and then on my way back I was burdened down with the two heavy bags I was carrying.
I stopped to rest on a bench and happened to notice a solitary Buttercup blooming. The little waxy bright yellow flower brought a smile to my face as it looked so cheerful. Even though it was not very big, nor in a prominent place, it still bloomed and in doing so made a difference in my life that day.
RememberāYou Matterāwherever you are, bloom where you are planted, and you will make someoneās day better.
Unusual Sighting
Once upon a tree
Crab leaves his comfort zone
Unhappily everafter
Senryu
While on a recent visit to an Oregon coastal town I came upon this unusual sight as I was out walking to the beach.
There, high in a bush, was a crab. It was not alive, but it looked real.
I was puzzled at how it had gotten there but I never did find out, so I imagined the positive and decided it must have went on an adventure one day, took a challenge from a seagull to climb a tree and ended up not being able to get back down.
The positive part is that it was adventurous, it left itās comfort zone and took a chance, many of us donāt do that out of fear or complacity, and even though perhaps the crab didnāt end up with the happy ending heād hoped for, at least he won at his lifeās challenge and
had the satisfaction that he tried something new.
Something to think about….

God At Work
Suddenly!
Spur of the moment
All at once
Unexpected
Opportunities abound
Divine Surprises!
Shadorma
Youāve probably seen those signs āMen At Workā around construction zones. Well, lately considering what has been happening in my life I would say I could hang up a sign āGod At Workā because of so many blessings, new opportunities and just friendly encounters I am having lately. I am really enjoying it all and giving thanks to God.
I know God is always at work in our lives but much of the time He works in the background and He doesnāt always reveal to us what Heās doing or He allows us to see it at a later time.
But sometimes He brings us unexpected surprising blessings suddenly! And it is so great to experience those!
( The word āsuddenlyā occurs 40 times in the KJV bible. Itās interesting to read the different things that the Lord did āsuddenlyā )
