Our life can be like one or numerous fun-loving, golden joyful roadtrips! Choose LOVE and see what a satisfying life you can have.
Camano Island had snow on Christmas Evening and a few days after. It made for a magical family event. Snow had created an unexpected ski lodge. Our grandsons were elated at the idea of sledding down the slopes around our house. 2021 Christmas will be remembered joyfully this year! Nature came to our rescue and in its white, cold silence, our hearts were warmed!
I’ve taken more photos than I could imagine, but each site was more beautiful than before. It is from these photos that I was inspired to produce this scene.
I wonder if they inspire my readers as much as they inspire me. …just a gentle simmering of joy. I love the colors, I love imagining that the trees are really mountains and I am somewhere far away from the small irritants of life. I wish to focus on the positive and I always get my wishes. So, please forgive me if I bubble too loudly.
For me, to create is participation in all that is physical and non-physical. …a symphony of good feelings by choice.
This holiday I would like the gift of wisdom. Of course, I have received this sense of fresh, solid goodness often over the years, but It’s needed in my life more so now.
WISDOM –
Why is it needed at this time?
World news continues to expose dark times with startling examples, while omitting and/or balancing bright directive examples of current events.
There is a conflict inside of me. To flee, fight or surrender is a common human response.
I am here to enjoy life, not fight for my point of view. My upbringing often challenges this belief. My days can be missing the ease and clarity wisdom brings. The challenges of reaching excellence — the best that we can be — leaves me spent at the end of each day.
The gift of wisdom sustains the best of me. It brightens my day’s path. It creates meaning like sparkling soda.
Most important is the effect of wisdom, sound thinking. It allows love to flow out from my actions — my smile, my words, my ease and patience with those who do not have or do not know how to utilize the wisdom gift.
Wisdom is the helping gift to my better, more peaceful world. Anytime, love is allowed to flow I am transformed into a better human being. I share lighthearted rather than dogmatically defensive or offensive
Yes, I would like more wisdom for Christmas!
Happy Holidays…..
