Peace is Every Step

Peace is every step.
The shining red sun is my heart.
Each flower smiles with me.
How green, how fresh all that grows.
How cool the wind blows.
Peace is every step.
It turns the endless path to joy.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Nothing is Worth More Than This Day!!!

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

~Pamela Vaull Starr

Joy for everyone!

Joy to the World , the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

Thanks: the choice that keeps giving & changing our lives

My Christmas gift this year is a new iphone. One of the best things I like about it is an app from One Thousand Gifts (Thank you, Anne Voskamp, everything about you is a beautiful gift to us all). This app allows me to take a picture, write text and then save and upload my gift of the moment.

Not only am I creating a beautiful reminder list of all the amazing blessings all around me, I can my send my gift at this moment to Twitter or Facebook and share it with others. I can also go to Anne’s site and read the blessings of others. Everytime I click on the app I get a new quote to read to remind me of this thankful way of life I have chosen to take for the past 15 years. It is thrilling to me!!!!

Want to change your life? Want to be happier? Become aware of your blessings and the miracles all around you!
