There is no such thing as an
un-important day.
Today is a gift, simply open it.
One resolution I have made,and try always to keep, is this — To rise
above the little things.

Flowers are food for our souls
Love the moment.
Flowers grow out of dark moments.
Therefore, each moment is vital.
It affects the whole. Life is a succession
of such moments and to
live each, is to succeed.
-- Corita Kent
Earth laughs in flowers.

I shall not pass this way again;
Then let me now relieve some pain,
remove some barrier from the road,
or brighten someone's heavy load.
~ Eva Rose York
Don't fear failure so much that you refuse
to try new things. The saddest summary of
a life contains two descriptions:
might have, and should have.

I have reached a point in my life where
I understand the pain and the challenges;
and my attitude is one of standing up
with open arms to meet them all.

Peace does not mean to be in a place
where there is no noise, trouble, or hard
work. Peace means to be in the midst
of all those things and still be calm in your heart.

Life: It is about the gift not
the package it comes in.

Thank you all for joining me this first week of the new year.
Time has started to fly by already. But Spring can not arrive
too soon for me. Yearning to be outside and get back to
outside activities and my bike riding.
I do want to mention this before I close.
Remember the pictures of the Christmas rooms that
I had on December pages? Well, the homeowner has
offered to share his decorations for other holiday
decorating as well. Stay tuned for those!
Do stay safe - be always aware of everything
and everyone around you. Enjoy the weekend and share my
mailing - I do encourage that - join me again Monday!
Till that time .....
