Joy For Weary Hours
Far more than herbs and flowers—
Kind thoughts, contentment, peace of mind,
And joy for weary hours.

The Journey is Revealing
I am no longer afraid of becoming lost, because the journey back always reveals something new, and that is ultimately good for the artist.

Welcome Every Morning With A Smile
Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.

Heaven in a Wildflower
A closer look :)
To see the world in a grain of sand
and heaven in a wildflower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour.

Little Bend Tunnel - Talcott, West Virginia
would sneak into that dark tunnel.
Of course I would make sure there were no trains coming.
Looking back on that, it was probably a very stupid thing to do!
This is the tunnel in Talcott West Virginia, near where I grew up.
It is the sister to the tunnel (which is beside this one)
that John Henry worked on. Do you know the legend of John Henry?
He really isn't a legend where I grew up...we think he was real and that
he really DID beat that steam drill.

Happy Friday Everyone!
CHOO CHOO

Sounds through the air
bring comfort
heart vibrations
~ Quite the departure from pics I normally post :)
I like trains. I grew up in an area of trains...not within "seeing"
distance...but within hearing distance.
The train whistle and the chug going down the tracks
was ALWAYS a comforting sound.
I still LOVE to hear it!

Realize Your Potential
~ Realize Your Potential ~
Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!

Camera Critters
When that happens, I play around with them to see what
I can come up with.
This is a male hummingbird at the feeder.

I was too far away for the shot to come out very clear...but
I was able to salvage it a bit by enhancing it with some
filters in Photo Shop Elements 5.

Blogger Problems
I'm not sure if anyone else is having problems....but i keep getting an error that says:
Internet Explorer cannot open the site: http://thesunriseofmylife.blogspot.com.
And then it says operation aborted.
I do see that blogger has a note about some sites being labeled spam incorrectly.
I don't know if that is the problem with mine or not.
