There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
~~~Albert Einstein
Miracles
Rumpelstiltskin
There’s a magic feeling about…
pretty colored string.
a pile of it…
a spool of it…
or a carton of it.
Doesn’t really matter because it’s always the same with ambitious stuff like string.
It wants to do more than sit on the shelf or on the spool or in the box.
It wants to BE something…
or a lot of somethings.
Either way—I like to believe it’s the wish of all miller’s straw…
to be spun into gold.
A Smidge of Summer…
left.
After all, there are still…
toes to squirt…
lemony drinks in the fridge–sort of…
roses in the yard…
floats to pour…
brave knights in castles…
marshmallows to toast…
cute guys on the beach…
new crayons to break…
chocolate zucchini cake to eat I mean, make…
fair maidens to rescue…
fresh corn to nibble…
sweet babies to picnic with…
and this blue sky to ponder.
Yeah.
I’ll let you know, when we’re ready to come in.
Beauty
People often say that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder,’ and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.
– Salma Hayek
{ Embrace }
“…Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes.”
– Charles Swindoll
