A Wolfe in Beautiful Wording

This quote by Elsie de Wolfe
is a big, fat yes from me, too.

I do not understand

the want or need

to do anything else.

I'm going to make

everything around me

beautiful ~

that will be

my life.

Mother's Day Thoughts

Since I do not blog on Sundays,
I'll stick my two cents in today.

I saw this and thought ...

how incredibly appropriate

for Mother's Day.

If you are blessed enough

to still have your mom with you,

cherish every second,

for you will realize

that they mean EVERYTHING!

If you are a mom, thank you!

This is a tireless, roller coaster of a job

that doesn't pay a dime,

but so worth every second

of all you put into it.

And there are all kinds of 'Moms' out there.

Those that birthed,

those that were gifted,

those that envelope.

You're all Moms.

Enjoy your day

and remember this:

You are not

a drop

in the ocean.

You are

the entire ocean

in a drop.

Reason

Be the reason, today,
that someone feels

welcomed,

seen,

heard,

valued,

supported,

understood,

accepted,

worthy,

and/or

loved.

Wow!

Not sure where this came from,
but of course ...
I added to it.
Whatchathink?

We're all so desperate

to be understood,

we forget to be understanding.

We're all so frantic

to be heard,

we forget to listen.

We're all so frenzied

to be right,

we forget we might be wrong.

Time to Choose

Elaborating on Tolkien's:

All we have to decide
is what to do
with the time
that is given us.

Each morning,

if we are lucky,

we open two gifts ...

our eyes!

We can choose to see

the good in the world

or something else.

We can choose 

to be happy or crappy.

We can choose

to uplift others

or denigrate.

There is so much beauty,

so many blessings,

an abundance of light.

I hope you lean into that.

I hope you choose to see good.

I hope you choose happy.

I hope you choose to uplift.

All we have to decide

is what to do

with the time

that is given us.

Wonderfully Made

This came
in a daily devotional.

(Of course,

I added a little Lyn spin.)
I'm thinking there might
be a friend or two
that needs to read this:

God wants you to know

that you are wonderfully made.

Look at the world around you,

the infinite detail and creativity.

Unimaginable beauty

surrounds us every day.

You are part of that creation,

materializing from the same Artist

that created sunsets and rainbows,

roses and cacti,

mountains and prairies,

crickets and grizzlies.

Don't ever allow yourself

to think you are anything less

than wonderfully made.

Stories

Margaret Atwood said:

In the end,
we'll all become stories.

Will you be a best seller?

Get out there.

Have the adventures,

fall and rise again,

be betrayed and win anyway,

cry and laugh

and grow and learn

and live a life worth reading.
