Lighten up life’s load
With joy-filled exercises—
One laugh at a time
No ship divided
Can survive life’s story seas—
Seek calmer waters
Learning from mistakes
Life’s positive stepping-stones—
Adventures in growth
Blessed sunrise wakes
World stops its endless spinning—
Tranquility calls
Nature’s sights and sounds
Creation’s rhythm singing—
Pause and soak it in
Newness of each spring
Opening fresh avenues—
Sacred life takes root
Holding back anger
Bitterness evaporates—
Speak with tenderness
Truth and honesty
Always being neighborly—
Words share life’s blessings
Choosing words wisely
Filling each one with kindness—
Sweeter than honey
Worries and fears grow
Never-ending appetite—
Consuming spirit
In darkest of times
Winning race with final push—
Running with boldness
Day’s delightful pause
Joyous memories drop in—
Dancing in one’s heart
This moment in time
Our story turns to new page—
Another year comes
Trading snow shovels
Absent Ohio winter—
Time for umbrellas
Each worthy surprise
Life’s unique blessings waiting—
Around each corner
Fresh, fallen snowflakes
Morning’s glistening landscape—
Sparkling winter day
From winter’s postcard
Covered with fresh, powder snow—
Majestic pines rise
Calm valley meadow
Undisturbed snowy blanket—
Cautious buck deer waits
Looking to conquer
Bullies search for life’s island—
Mankind’s weakest link
Remember always
Our mirror’s self-reflection—
Misses life’s real truth
Life’s biggest challenge
Constructing each new puzzle—
Piece follows each piece
Flying high above
Gray sky’s lonely sentinel—
Solitary spy
Unchecked challenges
Emotional behavior—
Nature spills over
Season to season
Creation’s precious treasures—
Never growing old
Walking through life’s fire
Never to blindly stumble—
God always walks close
Darkness testing faith
Patiently trusting Father—
Accepting His plan
Holy Spirit seeks
Guiding tongues in bringing forth—
Pure and blessed speech
Friday night dinner
Mom’s day off in the kitchen—
Bucket of chicken
Teenager’s first drive
Seatbelt fastened and secure—
Still parked in driveway
Open for business
Fridge full of tasty morsels—
Door always unlocked
