That Windblown Look

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair

Sunshine Sits on a Branch

Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. Climb slowly, steadily, enjoying each passing moment; and the view from the summit will serve as a fitting climax for the journey.

~Harold B. Melchart

I hope you all are enjoying the climb to the mountain :) I know I am!

The Peanut Thief

There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.
 ― Charles Dickens 

White-breasted Nuthatch steals a peanut. 

One of their favorite snacks!

Kindness

One of the words that has been on my heart for a LONG LONG time is KINDNESS.

Kindness is something you can show a stranger as well as a close friend.
Sometimes it's a smile when you pass along the street,
holding the door for someone,
allowing a car to merge in front of you.

Sometimes it's holding your tongue when that car cuts in front of you.
Kindness is tolerating and accepting
a different point of view - even though you don't agree with it.
Sometimes it's just lending a helping hand.

Can you imagine the world if everyone was Kind to one another?
Oh, what a wonderful world it would be :)

Choices

"Whatever choice you make makes you. 
Choose wisely.” 
 ― Roy T. Bennett 


 On a daily basis, there are hundreds of choices that we make. 
 What to wear, what to read, what to eat etc.
Included in those are our "attitude" choices.
In the past I allowed certain situations that were beyond my control dictate how I looked at other things in my life.
I CHOOSE not to do that anymore
I CHOOSE to be Optimistic
I CHOOSE to be Happy
I CHOOSE to be Caring.
Better attitude choices  - that's what I'm striving for!

Taking a Closer Look

 Learn to LOOK at Nature closely,

not just a passing glance.

There are such lovely patterns and colors.
 Enjoy them all.

 Don't wish the days away
Love the moment you're in
Even when times are rough
There are still moments to be cherished
and
Wonderful memories to be made
