sunshine and cold air

bare trees, solid ground, plants wait

as nature hibernates

Giving and Receiving

I have never been a very good receiver of gifts, compliments or offers. I have always been the one in my life who does the offering, the gift giving and the spreading of glad tidings so I think it has become a habit and habits can be unlearned. When I give, I give with much joy and love with no thoughts of obligation or feed back. I LOVE to give to others just because. It brings me such a "high"I wish that were my job in life. I am working on trying to accept what is given and offered in whatever form it comes in. With this Christmas season comes opportunities to practice allowing good tiding to flow and to just say "Thank You", which is enough.

You don't need a reason to be happy.......

The picture is a license plate I had on my car back in the 80's. I still have it on my bookshelf to remind me "to be happy". Happiness is a state of mind, a chose to choose inspite of what you see in front of you. An opportunity to see the cup half full or half empty. It still is the same, either way, it's all how you look at it.

Lets all sing together....

Don't Worry — Be Happy

Don't Worry — Be Happy

In every life we have some trouble

But when you worry you make it Double

Don't Worry — Be Happy

Ain't got no place to lay your head,

somebody came and took your bed

Don't Worry, Be Happy

The landlord say your rent is late,

he may have to litigate

Don't Worry — Be Happy

Ain't got not cash, ain't got no style,

ain't got no gal to make you smile

Don't Worry — Be Happy

Cause when you worry your face will frown

and that will bring everybody down

Don't Worry — Be Happy
