Can extract sunshine from a cloudy day!

Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness. Carry a vision of heaven in your hearts, and you shall make your name,your college, the world, correspond to that vision. Your success and happiness lie within you. External conditions are the accidents of life, its outer wrappings. The great, enduring realities are love and service. Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulty. ~ Helen Keller

This Moment


6:03 in the evening and I've got something cooking on the stove. Smells delish! It's me alone. Me amidst this embracing quiet pickling  minute splintered only by the ruffling resonance of leaves outside my window, sUltrY  conversing among themselves how pleasant tropical November nights can be. Sparkly respite. If I step out I will see a blanket starlit sky - and perhaps the moon too. Later for sure.

 Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ♥ I will fall in love with life - my own life, once again.  Like every single priceless day with as much potency as possible to blend my conscious self, soul, spirit to the moxie of the minute; to affably  take on the irritants of life and act with purposed benevolence towards everything. Wow! lol! I can do that? Of course I can, says one of the "me's" inside of me, haha!  Tis' the wisest and sweetest thing to reacquaint one's self with all the blessings, gifts, treasures and ( fanciful as it may sound ) the magic of ordinary days.

It was an ordinary day  when I took that picture above - a lazy sunny Sunday afternoon spent out in my small garden with a simple plate of bread sticks, a glass of lime juice, and a book. You wouldn't think that before being seated I was frazzle tired on the verge of crappy. Looking back washes a breeze of peace over me. Grateful.




"When we are mindful, deeply in touch with the present moment, our understanding of what is going on deepens, and we begin to be filled with acceptance, joy, peace and love."
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

  2. Hello Lady prizm,
    The fountain Is beautiful.
    I find on those days I spend alone without the distractions of outer influences, are the days I accomplish the most within myself. Some of the days we spend in solitude are priceless.
    Have a wonderful day!

  3. What's great about the above photo, is that despite being frazzled, you took the time to create a nice little spot for yourself so you could relax.

    1. ♥ Hiya Foam!

      I had this idea of a place in mind and worked with what I had
      (small table and biscuits and a couple of rosy plates) to create a bit of that "inner vision" scene.
