Though through tears we may grieve,
with regrets we may mourn,
until the day dawns
and the shadows flee away,
Your love is sufficient.

Let us treasure one another…every moment.
Wishing all a beautiful day.

The Gift of Each Moment
Why I Love the Morning – A Poem
By Cynthia Cady Stanton | Featured Contributor
It’s the quiet…
the ease of peace
that permeates –
just as the light gently travels
through the trees
and into my soul.
It’s the anticipation…
of yet another chance
for lessons to take root –
and new directions
to unfold.
It’s the trust…
that all the days past
have been worth any pain,
and there are no regrets
which can darken this new light.
It’s the love…
that gratitude which shimmers
and brightens my vision
to just how blessed it is
to have this life,
this very day.
I am but a bird singing,
a flower opening,
a cat purring,
and a baby giggling.
Mornings have this affect on me.
They elate.

The Beauty We Miss
Stop and smell the roses,
Smell that sweet aroma,
Admire the dew
on each crimson petal,
Simple pleasures
to let sink in and settle.
The beauty that you miss,
can truly be bliss.
Wake up to a gallery
of wonders every morning,
Marvel in every little detail,
it is ever so revitalizing,
In this busy world which we live,
we must remember one thing,
Slow down…life is for savoring.

Just To Be Thankful
Gratitude
unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough
…and more.
It turns denial into acceptance,
chaos to order,
confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal
into a feast,
a house into a home,
a stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today
and creates a vision
for tomorrow.
-Melody Beattie

A Gift of Moments
“No matter how we think the future might be,
it always seems to work itself out.
Life is made of moments.
Learn to appreciate each moment.
Each moment is a fresh opportunity to be happy.
This moment is your change to walk in love with others.
Today is a gift to enjoy and to rejoice.
We only have to teach ourselves to love the journey
and not the destination.”

Wishing you all a most blessed day.

A Beautiful Today
We have a choice each and every day.
I choose to feel blessed.
I choose to feel grateful.
I choose to be thankful.
I choose to be content.

A New Day
I give thanks for arriving
Safely in a new dawn,
For the gift of eyes
To see the world,
The gift of mind
To feel at home
In my life,
The waves of possibility
Breaking on the shore of dawn,
The harvest of the past
That awaits my hunger,
And all the furtherings
This new day will bring.
-John O’Donohue

The Little Things
Normal day,
let me be aware
of the treasure you are.
Let me learn from you,
love you,
bless you
before you depart.
Let me not pass you by in quest
of some rare and perfect tomorrow.
Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so.
-Mary Jean Irion

The Best Medicine
Gratitude is the best medicine.
It heals your mind,
your body,
and your spirit.
And attracts more things to be grateful for.

…and I am grateful for each and every one of you. 💜
