Life can be CRAZY!  So sometimes we have to find a happy place.  These sure look happy to me, so come on in the waters fine....and take a little vacation.  Deep breath.... life is beautiful!

At the Beginning....again

There is something exciting about new paper, freshly sharpened pencils and a perfect box of crayons.  I am not ready for the kids to be back to school, but I LOVE buying school supplies.  It is like a fresh start.  The beginning of a new opportunity.  New shoes, new friends, new adventures to discover.  So here is to a fresh new start.  So go get yourself a new box of crayons...go on get the big box...and start creating a brilliant and colorful year!

Gardens are such happy things. Little plants stretching toward the sunshine, working to reach their potential. Such beauty and dedication. Inspiring.

It's a fresh new week. Enjoy.

Gratitude, like faith, is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it grows, and the more power you have to use it on your behalf. If you do not practice gratefulness, its benefaction will go unnoticed, and your capacity to draw on its gifts will be diminished. To be grateful is to find blessings in everything, This is the most powerful attitude to adopt, for there are blessings in everything.
Alan Cohen

My greatest blessings call me mom. A dear friend has this in a sign in her home and I love it.
Fingerprints, tears, chicken pox...whatever it is doesn't matter...the time spent with them is a priceless gift.

Happy Friday.
