“THE CREEK”

“THE CREEK”

Tadpole squirm from the muddy water
and eventually turn to Frogs.
Turtles sun in open air,
resting on a Moss covered slippery logs.

Salamander slowly paw their way to the
waters edge through Miners Lettuce and Foxtail,
Upon plunking into the water their arrival
scatters Minnow and stirs up the Blue Gill.

Water Oaks shade the creek where
the Blackberry Bushes, Nettles and Reeds grow,
Providing cover to Dragonfly, Lady Bug and
Butterfly from Blue Jay, Sparrow and Crow.

The Deer come down to the bend in  the creek and
cautiously feast on Clover…green and red,
Across the way Skunk hurry through the
high grass and out of the brush pops a Red Fox head.

Late in the day, Raccoon come to these waters
to refreshingly wash and play,
The scene is now complete,
the bright orange sun sets,
this is the little creeks end of day
.

“Spring is Here”

The winter freeze is beginning to thaw as spring is on its way.  Santa and St. Valentine had their respective days and they are now ushering in the Easter Bunny.  Welcome this new season as it is a time for new beginnings; things are reborn and problems are forgotten. May this spring bring enlightenment and a new found understanding and appreciation for past times.

Blessings and Light 

“LETS MAKE IT VALENTINES DAY EVERY DAY”

“LETS MAKE IT VALENTINES DAY EVERY DAY”

February 14th, is a very special day for love and care,
We get our sweethearts roses, candy and maybe a teddy bear.

We cook each other romantic dinners and light a candle bright,
We make every effort to look past our lovers faults to avoid a fight.

We act out that one day to be perfect and that’s all good and well…
Unless every day before and after our hearts suffer a cold spell.

Before Valentines do not get stuck in the same old boring routine,
After “Valentines” don’t go back to acting in rote, like a dull machine.

So lets work hard to make it “Valentines” every day of the year,
Be spontaneous and impulsive with your love and tender care!

“LIFE”

“LIFE”
(not the magazine)

It’s here, it is precious, hold on…
Wake up, bulk up, face the dawn!

Get out of bed, get out of your shell…
Keep on fighting, the enemy can go to hell!

Force your way through the day and the evening too…
Nothing can get in your way, with the exception of you!

Kiss family and hug friends…to hell with all the rest!
Then the night-time comes and you are layed to rest!

Family is our connection which binds….
We are held together by hearts and minds.

Family often brings us joys or sorrow…
But without them there would be no need for tomorrow.

 

 

GREAT RECIPE FOR THE NEW YEAR

January 6th, 2009

 GREAT RECIPE FOR THE NEW YEAR

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day.  And while you walk, smile.  It is 
the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.  Talk to God about
what is going on in your life.  Buy a lock if you have to.

3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, ‘My
purpose is to__________ today.  I am thankful for______________’

4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that
is manufactured in plants.

5. Drink green tea and plenty of water.  Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan
salmon, broccoli , almonds & walnuts.

6. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

7. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues
of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control.  Instead
invest your energy in the positive present moment.

8. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a
college kid with a maxed out charge card.

9.. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

10. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

11 Don’t take yourself so seriously.  No one else does.

12.  You are not so important that you have to win every argument.
Agree to disagree.

13. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.

14. Don’t compare your life to others.  You have no idea what their
journey is all about.

15. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

16. Frame every so-called disaster with these words:  ’In five years,
will this matter?’

17. Forgive everyone for everything.

18. What other people think of you is none of your business.

19. GOD heals everything - but you have to ask Him.

20. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

21. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick.  Your friends
will. Stay in touch!!!

22. Envy is a waste of time.  You already have all you need.

23. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements:

I am thankful for__________.  Today I accomplished_________.

24. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

25. When you are feeling down, start listing your many blessings.
You’ll be smiling before you know it.

“ON THE BALCONY AT NIGHT”

January 2nd, 2009

“ON THE BALCONY AT NIGHT” 

Standing on the balcony on this clear night,
The city spreads out before me fresh and bright.

The sky-scrapers rise to a starry heaven which is full…
This gorgeous canvas of sparkling dots touches the soul.

The view before me is beautiful and very, very deep,
Tonight this image will be in my mind as I drift off to sleep.
