Sharpening Each Thought

Winter’s fading breath

Discovering light

One final snowflake

Springtime taking flight

 

Winter pushed aside

Taking rest once more

Moved from nature’s shelf

Change coming ashore

 

Time bursting forward

Sharpening each thought

Landscape’s fresh colors

Lessons being taught

 

Young and old smiling

Finding spring abloom

Nature turns its page

Song fills every room

 

Daylight grows longer

Feeling warmth each day

April showers come

May flowers will stay

 

Life’s faithful rhythm

Rising overnight

Harmony fills hearts

Love found at first sight

The annual awakening of spring’s rebirth is sown with our Creator’s love.

If you want to be happy for life, love what you do.

Happiness is like mercury.  Hard to hold, and when we drop it, it shatters into a million pieces.  Maybe the bravest of all are those who have the courage to reach for it again.

Mary Higgins Clark (1927-2020) was an American writer of suspense novels.

Each morning God greets us with a welcoming sign of His perpetual presence . . . sunrise.

Monday Memories: Endless Race

Posted on by

Running on this daily treadmill, filling life’s gloomy story

Falling behind in life’s endless race, without much glory

 

Working Nine to Five, five long days each week

Stumbling through every month, looking bleak

 

Forgetting when life last paused for any vacation

Punching in, punching out . . . time clock fixation

 

Heating up life’s pressure cooker, deadlines loom ahead

Hoping the lid doesn’t blow off, propelled into tiny shreds

 

Watching everyone trying to row in the same boat

Rowing in separate directions, now barely afloat

 

Refueling the tank, this coffee break no longer helps

Scurrying on empty, might just as well holler a yelp

 

Taking the elevator to another miserable meeting

Ending up on the wrong floor, no warm greeting

 

Driving home each night, worn down to a blown-out frazzle

Stopping at the same red traffic light, it no longer dazzles

 

Racing every day, life delivering this hour’s final, saving grace

Looking left, then right . . . who’s even winning this rat race?

Mark Twain Quotes

The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.

When you catch an adjective, kill it.  No, I don’t mean utterly, but kill most of them–then the rest will be valuable.  They weaken when they are close together.  They give strength when they are far apart.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) was an American author and humorist.  He has often been praised as one of America’s greatest humorists, and American writer William Faulkner called him “the father of American Literature.”

God treasures every simple moment that His grace offers.  He reminds each of us to look forward to another precious tomorrow.

If we will first show respect and compassion while embracing our differences, our world may better find positive solutions, in order to discover common ground.
