Fragile... life

Life is fragile... be kind and loving. Enjoy beauty. Fly!

Everything can change in an instant.

Live each moment to the fullest.

Light and Flower

Some lights remind me of flowers... This lamp is huge, in the ceiling of a restaurant located in Ocala. The rose was in our bed and breakfast room. Quiet beauty is everywhere... I search for it every place I go. Being still at times, these things will be discovered. Going into places that are not the normal stomping grounds will open up new  opportunities to discover beauty.  Enjoy the journey.  

Walking in the Wickham woods

Often I enjoy a walk in the woods of Wickham park.

                                       We came across some beautiful things today. 

Little yellow flowers are surrounded by even smaller white flowers in the grass...

Green and white.

Interesting shadow.

My walking partner Ginger.

Green and brown.

As

Mockingbirds singing  melodies in the trees 

A scrub jay bounced in the palm as we went by...

Enjoy the day!

Celebrate differences

Wandering with Ginger 1

Wandering along  paths near home we come across some beautiful things. 

I often feel the Creator watching as He shares the wonders found in every step I take.

Some are carefully placed in my path. Some are random growing naturally in the area.

I am always looking for the wonderful when wandering this planet.

It is a joy to discover the beauty when wandering with a friend.

Bring a friend. Enjoy the journey together.

Thankful for protectors

Searching out a path in this world, I look for the beauty and the positive things to be found.  I am ever thankful for those who will risk their lives to protect us. I always pray for no harm to come to anyone. Into the world we must live, I pray for harmony, peace and love to abound. 

Fun or Just Donate??? OR BOTH???

Can't we just donate? or is it ok to have fun and donate too??? WELL... I actually see nothing wrong with either way... It has been fun seeing the antics with the Ice challenge, and I am joyful knowing the cause has gained support. ...Personally, I like my donations to be private... anonymous... and helpful. On the other hand, I do NOT see any problem with people having fun, a moment in the spotlight, or even just plane being silly to bring attention that would otherwise not be known to the masses. If it takes a pie in the face for cancer or a bunch of spilled ice for ALS, well so be it. Some people NEED a reason to be more motivated than others to be generous. That IS OK! The water on the ground will feed a plant, bird or animal, or just evaporate and once again fall as rain... the pie will feed ants that feed animals and the circle of life goes on. Seriously... how about we each consider helping in our own way. Much help has happened for MANY causes, BECAUSE of the silliness. Some ppl have donated to the original cause... others have donated to new causes they feel passionate about. Some would have donated anyway. Others not. Let us BE glad people are enjoying themselves, and also helping others. There is no need to whine anout people having fun... Drink your own water, eat your pie, give both away, or play with it... no matter to me.  If the product was purchased, it is yours to do with as you like.  All that ice was bought from someplace... Job security!  Look for the good!  Wow... how about this? We could ask "Wet and Wild" to close down, bottle all the water and send it off to Africa, or closer to home maybe some USA state that is in drought. Who needs to go to a water park? What a waste of time? Come on people, it is just as silly to think of that, as it is to say save the water/pie for some needy person in "the land of who knows where" who is in need... Have fun, enjoy the blessings you have, and share as you feel led... oh and if you want to help ppl who need water... Here is a great list of helpful groups for that cause... http://www.goodnet.org/articles/1000  and if you like to help feed people... Look here... http://gourmetfood.about.com/od/televisionforfoodies/tp/Charities-That-Fight-Hunger.htm  want to help in other ways??? just ask Google or any search engine for help to find where you may like to help! Be well, be loving, AND have fun!!!
