Proof

A gentle, loving nudge on hump day ...

The fact

that you are trying

is proof

that you are strong.

You have within you

the power to do darn near anything.

Making 'Sence'

I adore a good play on words.
Here's a 'rich' one ...

Absence

will teach you

the importance of

Presence.

Make good choices people.

Beautiful Things

Loooooooooove this!

And it's soooooooooooo true!!

The amount of

beautiful things

in your life

depends on

your ability

to notice them.

Open your eyes!!!

Saturday Surplus

Thought I'd share a pair of thoughts with you, today.
Hope they get into your bones and snuggle up warmly.

May this day greet you

with gentle moments,

grateful thoughts and 

a heart that is open

to the beauty of the day.

Take time to enjoy

the blessings.

and

We've all heard the phrase

leave only footprints.

Let's expound ...

If you left your house today

and did not return,

what would your final post

to the world be?

Would it be hateful?

Would it divisive?

Would it be ugly?

or

Would it be positive?

Purposeful?

Pleasant?

What footprints are you leaving ...

Treasures

Found this. Loved this. Sharing!

One of life's greatest treasures

is the opportunity

to begin again each morning.

The beauty of a new day

is that it asks nothing from us

except that we show up

and embrace it.

I mean ... come on.

Have a fabulous Friday!

Splurge!

Happy Thankful Thursday kids!

Today is National Splurge Day!!!

It's a day designated as your formal excuse

to break your own budget rules just a tiny bit.

But that premium coffee, order the fancy dinner,

grab that piece of jewelry that's been speaking to you,

and finally purchase that item that's been

sitting in your online shopping cart.

You've earned it!

And, apparently, today's the day!!!

I am grateful for you and for your support.

I am thankful for your friendship.

Have a beautiful Thursday.

Words

Would love some feedback on this.
This is, obviously, not my norm but fell out of my fingers anyway.
I'm not opposed to new stuff, but dipping the toes is sometimes uncomfortable ...

Words
by Lyn Marinello   6/15/26

I can feel the pressure
of the waiting words
behind my eyes
within my heart
weight on my soul.

I summon the quiet,
clear the outside chatter
let my fingers
speak secrets
exorcise control.

Sometimes swayed
by current winds
blowing hot
blowing cold
tornadic.

Dutifully drawn
to share the gift
emotional
purposeful
sporadic.
