Tiny Miracles

From one Roald Dahl:

Life

is a series

of thousands

of tiny miracles.

Notice them.

From one me:

Those tiny miracles ...

may be words;

may be smiles;

may be kindness;

may be hugs;

may be grace;

may be patience;

may be vistas;

may be rest;

may be love.

They are

every freaking where.

Let It

This was one on a list of "note to self" items.
This one struck me as particularly purposeful.
I hope it finds who it needs to

Let it end.

Let it hurt.

Let it heal.

Let it go.

Do not carry what was

never meant to be your baggage.

That Person

Today's blog is in honor of the birthday boy: Miles Marinello!

This is him in a nutshell.

(It's actually both of my kids ... but it's his birthday.)

There's a stranger out there

who still thinks of you
because you were kind to them
when they really neeeded it.
Never stop being that person.

When you have the opportunity to help ...

help.

You ALWAYS have the opportunity.

Better Place

This did not have anyone to credit,
and ... of course ...
I have Lynified it ...
Enjoy!

We spend a lot of time looking for happiness

when the world right around us

is full of wonder.

Sunrises, blooming flowers,

towering trees, mountain trails,

untouched meadows, sandy shores,

pristine waters, forever skies,

creatures great and small,

childrens laughter, sunsets,

interlaced fingers and

intertwined hearts.

Aromas and sights and flavors.

To be alive and walk the earth

is a miracle,

and yet ...

most of us are running around

as if there were some better place to get to.

Enjoy Everything Around You!

Tears

From one Charlotte Bronte:

Crying

does not indicate

that you are weak.

Since birth,

it has always been

a sign that 

you are alive.

Do not fear your tears.

They cleanse;

they clear the way;

they strengthen;

they release.

Open the waterway

when in need.

Whispers of Hope

Here's to
the bridge-builders,
the hand-holders,

the light-bringers,

those extraordinary souls

wrapped in ordinary lives

who quietly weave

threads of humanity

into an inhumane world.

They are the unsung heroes

in a world at war with itself.

They are the whispers of hope

that peace is possible.
