Enjoy the Present

“Children have neither past nor future; they enjoy the present,

which very few of us do.” - Jean de la Bruyere

I posted this photo on my tumblr page and couldn't resist sharing it here as well.  When you stop to smell the roses this summer, definitely stop and smell the hydrangea too!

Happy New Year!

Another fresh new year is here . . .

Another year to live!

To banish worry, doubt, and fear,

To love and laugh and give!

This bright new year is given me

To live each day with zest . . .

To daily grow and try to be

My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity

Once more to right some wrongs,

To pray for peace, to plant a tree,

And sing more joyful songs!

-William Arthur Ward
