Male Cardinal Takes Shelter From The Rain

“It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely.” 

― Leo Buscaglia

Snow Day

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? 

And then it covers them up snug, you know, 

with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, 

"Go to sleep, darlings, 

till the summer comes again.” 

 ― Lewis Carroll

We Only Have This Moment

We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand... and melting like a snowflake. 
Let us use it before it is too late.

Be Aware of Wonder

Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.

~Robert Fulghum

 How many of us go through our days unaware of the wonder around us? Every moment we have on this Earth is a unique gift, and we should cherish those moments and use them wisely ~ And be aware of the wonder around us.
