Good Morning... Have a great day...

Asking "what if this" and "what if that",
No good has ever come.
The questions that these words ask,
Are not as good as some.

"What if" really means the same,
As doubting what you’ve done.
You can’t go back and change the past,
What’s done is what is done!

"What if" also can be the words,
Spoke of thee unsure.
It’s just like those who speak the words,
I’ll try, instead of sure.

Saying words of so little power,
Is a wasted pun.
Not to mention the uncertainty,
You share with everyone.

Next time you find the words "what if"
Crossing your mind.
Replace them with more certain words,
Like “we should do” or "we should find".

The worst thing any of us can do is,
Doubt ourselves from the start.
So think about the words you use,
And choose words that make you sound smart.

Good Morning... Have a blessed day...

Awakening, dawn's chorus
Welcoming, the day new, untouched
Waiting to be filled....
And will we paint a rainbow
With all its promise
Or dull the canvas
Sadly seen?
Each day brings its own colours
To be chosen, mixed,
Pigments of joy,
Happy moments,
Smiles and laughter....
And which will you choose?
For 'Life' is choice,
We are all painters
In our own way,
All needing to create
Something of worth,
Of lasting beauty,
Marking our journey....
Footprints in the sand....
The sky today is azure,
The sun warm and golden
A filigree of light and shadow-play
Through the gently swaying trees.
I clean my brushes,
Choose my palette
Of vibrant, living colours,
And begin to fill Ttoday's blank canvas

Good Morning... Happy Day ahead...

You think this is just another day in your life.
It's not just another day -
it's the one day that is given to you, today. 
It's given to you, it's a gift.
It's the only gift that you have right now,
and the only appropriate response is gratefulness. 
If you do nothing else but to cultivate that response to the great gift that this unique day is,
if you learn to respond as if it were the first day in your life,
and the very last day, then you would have spent this day very well.



Thanks for your visit
