It is...
When things go wrong, as they sometime will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must -- but don't you quit!

Cherish your visions...
Yesterday, while I was driving around, I happened to see this lovely double cherry in bloom. It was protected from the wind and stood there in all of its glory...
While I sat in my car admiring its beauty, I felt so lucky...

The kiss of the sun...

The song of the birds for mirth,
One is near God's Heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth."

A Japanese garden...
When you visit and look at Japanese gardens, you begin to realize that there are many "beautiful treasures" which have survived over the years. These are the treasures that have been shared and are passed down from generation to generation.
This is a private garden at a home that I visited.

Kindness...
Everyone wants to be treated with kindness.
It makes us feel special.
It encourages us.
It motivates us to do our very best.

Standing alone with thoughts of my own
Standing alone with thoughts of my own, I refuse to be influenced by my peers. I am learning the truths and my experiences are gained daily. I can enjoy the blessings that are given to me with each dawn. My experiences explain fiction, but with confidence, I am achieving inner peace.
