Love this year!

January 1, 2009 · 27 Comments

Another fresh new year is here!
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!

New Branches

 

This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest!
To daily grow and try to be,
My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!

William Arthur Ward

She said she usually cried at least once each day not because she was sad,
but because the world was so beautiful and life was so short.

The Xmas Cactus blooms each winter with is message of faith, hope and beauty.

Silently one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Cactus-Monday

The Xmas Cactus is not a Christmas tree, but I would say they can both hold wonder.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
