My random words, hope they deserve the category!
My eyes open
Good morning world!
What shall this day hold?
Everything lies in one simple word
Choices
Gazillions of them
We can’t possibly get them all right
And yet, who’s deciding, besides you,
what’s “right”?
Again, choices
I choose Faith and Love
above all else
I choose to be loved, I choose to give love
I choose to smile, rather than let
fear and anger dictate
My Choices
And you?

A question asked by many
The meaning pondered and explored
spoken and written about for ages.
Songs are sung, movies are made
and many forms of art, more than we can imagine.
The list of “meanings” of love
could ultimately go on and on.
So what, I ask, is your answer?
What thoughts enter your mind?
And in the end, do we not seek the deepest love,
the love of our Creator?
Once we reach Him, I truly
believe ALL of our definitions
will merge

Sit Down, deep breaths
Whew-oh man, up again
and running….
And when quiet time FINALLY comes
Pleasant thoughts must fight their way
through the maze of the day
The worries and gripes
The aggravations and “should’ves”
And if I am lucky enough, pleasant
thoughts will come through
like
GREAT BIG GIANTS
and proceed to crowd out the
the rest
AND
for 5 or 10 minutes, I can
I get to remember
Why I’m a runner
In this crazy race

Ok, so titles….I suppose that fits?
My eyes open
Is it morning?
Time to begin a new day!
A clean slate each and every time
A chance to make this day
better than the last
To sow the seeds for the next
and experience the surprises
each day beholds
Will these make me happy or sad?
Will I feel calm or be frustrated?
What will these feelings teach me?
These are the blessings
He bestows each and every day
Choices! Freedom! Will!
We always have them with us

The one thing I always find fascinating is when the mist/fog {CLOUDS} settle in the hills all the way to the bottom of the hollow. I am sitting on my porch, looking at the neighbors house and i’m having difficulty seeing their porch light. I love it. When I was driving home, its as if a cloud fell into a ravine, bringing much needed moisture in a beautiful form. All of our water comes from our clouds, as the Earth sends the evaporated groundwater straight up. Wild to think of, like we’re in a bubble … or are we? hmmmm…..oh wait, sorry 🙂 Thats another Blog.
Here is the beginning of a collection I started Awhile Ago. The last 5 years have flown by so fast. I am definitely excited, to finally get this started! I am not big on titles!?!
As I feel the sun warm my skin
an instant smile spreads
across my face, through my whole body
The sun glistens on the snow
as if the ground
was littered with diamonds
The rhythm of the creek is my background
complimenting the forest the most beautiful score
And as my breath begins to calm
and my senses take it all in
I praise our Lord for our planet
and all the beauty it beholds
