New Year

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day has dawned. The last day of 2021 is upon us.  It has been a year of deep loss and great joy. As I reflect on my life, I know that I have been blessed with people who care about me, eyes that can see the beauty of life and another day to share my heart. I can not focus on my loss, but I must  look forward and be grateful for the time we had together. My goal is to be the best me that I can be and to shine my light as far as it can reach. As you head into 2022 reflect on your life, make goals for the future and give the gift of your heart to those around you. Remember that your true beauty shines from a kind heart and loving spirit. Share Your Heart ❤ and Shine Bright

God’s Plan

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn. Warm humid air hits me in the face as I stepped out to greet the day. Clouds move swiftly over the lake bringing in rain. Birds call in the distance and create a peaceful start to the day. The world will be up and running soon. I sit and admire the beauty of God’s creation a little longer as I reflect on all my blessings. I am grateful to be alive and fulfilling my part in God’s plan. May your day be filled with blessings, love and laughter. Share Your Heart ❤ and Shine Bright

Friend

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn. The air is thick with moisture as it swirls around me. Sounds of the night are muted by a gentle rain. The beauty of my surroundings fills my senses with wonder and amazement. Roses are still blooming and grace the garden with their beauty. We each have our own little slice of heaven that we create. God’s beautiful creations remind us that we are loved beyond measure. Reach out to those you love and share your heart and life. No one in this life is perfect and we all could use a friend with a listening ear and loving heart. Be that friend. Share Your Heart ❤ and Shine Bright.

Snow

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is underway. I stepped outside into a warm blanket of fog across the lake. My capture is of my little A frame in Oregon as of yesterday. It is 22 degrees and more snow is predicted. Friends stopped by my house to crank my car and water my plants. I feel like I am on a tropical vacation. The snow is beautiful as it drifts slowly to the ground. New adventures and experiences in life keep us young at heart. Sharing your life and journeys give those who are homebound, due to illness or life circumstances, a window to the world. Reach out, call a friend, take a walk or have a picnic. Life awaits. Share Your Heart ❤ and Shine Bright

Loving and Kind

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is dawning. Mist still clings to the earth as the sunbeams stream through unruly clouds. It is amazing to watch the light play across the landscape. We are another day closer to January and the weather remains warm. Life moves forward a day at a time. I have accepted that I can’t change or control the things that happen in life. A higher power knows the plan and it is my job to be the best me that I can be. Writing words of faith, hope and love bring me comfort in my own life and I pray that they do the same for someone else. We are all on this journey together and share similar stories of love, laughter and loss. Be loving and kind as you go about your day. If I could but touch a single heart, bring a smile to a sad face or bring hope to someone in need, my work is successful. Share Your Heart ❤ and Shine Bright.

Magic

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day is dawning.  Clouds fill the sky and layers of mist hug the freshly plowed earth. The sky lights up for a brief moment to reveal the glory of the heavens. There is something magical about a sunrise over an open field. I can’t move as fast as I used to, but I always try to capture the moment without the obstruction of power lines. Today I was quick enough. There are many beautiful moments in life. We have to open our minds and hearts to receive the blessings God has laid before us. Share your Heart ❤ and Shine Bright.

Merry Christmas

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn.  It is Christmas Day and all is silent in the house. My loved ones are still resting cozy in their beds as I travel down memory lane of childhood.  The presents under the tree were important, but we didn’t realize that the most important gifts were the people beside us. Age has taught us that memories are precious,  the true gifts are the people in our lives and faith holds us all together until we meet again. Cherish these times together, remember those gone before us and love unconditionally.  Merry Christmas . all my Dear friends and may God’s blessings pour out before you. Share Your Heart ❤ and Shine Bright.

Shores of Heaven

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day has dawned. Christmas Eve has arrived and everyone will begin to gather for the big day. Be safe in your travels and remember that it is not a joyful occasion for everyone.  Many are alone and hurting from illness  or a loss of loved ones. The reason for the season is the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior.  Be grateful for the time spent with those who went before us and cherish the time with those still beside you. We will all celebrate together one day on the shores of heaven.  Share Your Heart ❤ and Shine Bright.

Memories

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day has dawned. Gray skies and warm temperatures surround me as I step outside. A crow is making a racked in the woods. Perhaps, he thinks he is a rooster. The birds are still sing here and dogs bark in the distance. The familiar pitter patter of condensation off the roof soothes the soul. Holiday baking will start this weekend. There are some traditions that I try to keep alive. Spend time with your families and make beautiful memories to last through the ages. Share Your Heart ❤ and Shine Bright.

Purpose

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits the dawn. Stars twinkle down on me from a clear night sky. There is an orange glow on the horizon as the sun begins its reach for the sky. Trucks are already moving in the distance. Sound carries a long distance across the open fields. Christmas is upon us and soon we will celebrate the birth of our savior. He came into this world as a mere child, yet His sacrifice insured our salvation. Everyone is here for a purpose in God’s plan. You may never know your purpose, but we live each day with love, kindness and compassion. A single kindness can and will change the life of someone. Be God’s beacon of light that fills the world with hope. Share Your Heart ❤ and Shine Bright.
