Life is always testing us,
and at times we score with Flying Colors…
Color your world… it’s time to experiment and to listen carefully!
A glimpse of what is going on around here.
“Love was a feeling completely bound up with color,
like thousands of rainbows superimposed one on top of the other.” ― Paulo Coelho
“What is so sweet and dear
As a prosperous morn in May,
The confident prime of the day,
And the dauntless youth of the year,
When nothing that asks for bliss,
Asking aright, is denied,
And half of the world a bridegroom is,
And half of the world a bride?”
– William Watson, Ode in May, 1880

Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead.
Don’t walk in front of me;
I may not follow.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.
~ Albert Camus
This morning I was out in my garden picking up broken branches and twigs
that were scattered about, since there was a rainstorm with lots of wind last night. And I decided to check for a sign of spring, since those robins were hopping about the other day.
Well, upon closer look at the soil a tiny RED tip peeked out at me, I was so amazed at the “intense” color. Then I noticed more and more and more of these little RED dots, they were everywhere. A little sign of renewal.
Now, this is a definite “tip”…
that spring will soon be here!
Ever so small (1/8″ to 1/2″) is this “MINUTE HEART” from the soil.

Spring is sooner recognized by plants than by men. ~Chinese Proverb

How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!

…The sign of Christmas is a star, a light in darkness.
See it not outside yourself, but shinning in the Heaven within,
and accept it as the time of Christ has come.
