The Unexpected

On this day of my life,

I believe God wants me to know

if I do not expect the unexpected I will not find it,

for it is not to be reached by search or trail.

Heraclitus said that, and he was right.

Life is delighted to bring me The Unexpected.

Am I delighted to receive it?

Indeed, belief in the coming of The Unexpected is the genesis of hope.

How can I hope for anything breathtaking or exciting

if I can only hope for the already expected?

Therefore, you must always think that anything can happen.

Form my ideas and dreams within that framework!

Remember, God specializes in The Unexpected.

Life is Like a River...

...It's moving.

I can be at the mercy of the river if I don't take deliberate, conscious action to steer myself in a direction I have predetermined.

If I don't plant the mental and physiological seeds of the results I want, weeds will grow automatically.

If I don't consciously direct my own mind and state, my environment may produce undesirable haphazard state.

The result can be disastrous. Thus it's critical that--on a daily basis--I stand guard at the door of my mind that I know how I am consistently representing things to myself. I must daily weed my garden (or simply hang out at the river!)

Precious Time

Time is priceless


Yet it costs me nothing


I can do anything I want with it


But can't own it


I can spend it


But can't keep it


And once I lost it


there is no getting it back.


It's just gone.

Research has shown people live longer when they are surrounded by people they love. We are beings that thrive in community. It is not healthy to deny ourselves human contact. For people that live alone, even a pet has been shown to increase the life span for as much as 5 to 7 years. Those of us blessed with family have been given a gift. They can join us in time of celebration and also in times of tragedy. Having a family to support me as I go through life is of monumental importance. Treasure time...NOW.

Spring Has Sprung!

The air was full of sun and birds,
The fresh air sparkled clearly.
Remembrance wakened in my heart
And I knew I loved her dearly.

The fallows and the leafless trees
And all my spirit tingled.
My earliest thought of love, and Spring's
First puff of perfume mingled.

In my still heart the thoughts awoke,
Came lone by lone together -
Say, birds and Sun and Spring, is Love
A mere affair of weather?
~~Spring Song by Robert Louis Stevenson

After a mostly mild winter, telltale signs of springtime rebirth are seen noticeably...migratory birds returning, trees beginning to bud, crocuses peeking through the last of winter's snow, a few extra minutes of daylight. There is definitely a change in how I feel and even in how I dress.

Our tranquil moments at Crystal Peaks signifies that spring has sure arrived.

Beauty of Love

Beauty, it is life! Life is inspired first by God and then given to us. He gives us free will. With free will, we should realize our love and life can mean so much more. My children inspires me so much more than they can ever know, I truly believe that they are Beautiful Blessings, gifts given to love from God. I do love them above all others.

Not a day goes by
that I don't wish you know how much I love you.
Not a day goes by
that I don't wish better for you.


My love is like a river it is like a fountain
it is longing and flowing for you.


No matter what hard times we've been through
My love has kept on growing for you.
I hope you can see
that it is you I need.


I know we are bound for a higher life
where we won't bare anymore strife.


Yet, in the still of this life
not a day goes by
that I'm not praying for you
and still loving you.
