Sunshine ends the day!
February’s grand finale!
March winds blowing in,
Bringing the promise of Spring,
To the weary winter worn earth.

Christmas packed away,
Another New Year has begun!
Resolutions made.
Seeking opportunities,
I anticipate each day!

A word came into my life today,
and it was totally brand new.
It caused me to stop and think
of what I was about to do.
It made me realize
that words can change a life,
Their entrance can bring about
the beginning or ending to strife.
Spoken in just a moment,
at the proper time and place,
a word can make a difference
of winning or losing a race.
For good words are treasures,
golden nuggets received along the way
hold them close ,dearly,
for they can truly make your day.
And then, when the time is right,
choose to let those good words go,
and right into the life of another
some goodness you will sow.

Another day past
The leaves continue to fall
Another sunset
Life seems to become more dear
As each day comes to a close

Take time for tea and cookies, your busy schedule can wait;
Take time for tea and cookies…now… before it gets too late.
The steamy flavors of the tea will soothe your cares away,
And the cookie melting in your mouth will add a little sunshine to your day.
So, go ahead, make time for tea and cookies, and never regret the time you use;
For memories are made and dreams are built, in the quiet moments that you choose.

Each day I can learn
Something new if I only
Use my five senses

A day off
Take time for myself
Rest read write

Today,
My life goes on,
And yesterday’s cares fade.
What a difference a day makes.
Time heals.

Friday the Thirteen.
Am not superstitious,
But this day seems odd.
Meeting many rude people.
Is it just a coincidence?
