Enjoy the Beauty

Image
These pretty purple flowers are indicative of God's artistic flair. Take time to look around, take a walk, and enjoy our beautiful world.  Sometimes the pressures of "have to" items take precedence in our life, but we must remember to be thankful and savor nature's beauty. I pray that your day is blessed with joy, prosperity, and the wonderment of our world.

Sparkplug Speaks

Sparkplug's boat ride.     Ahoy matey!  Just thought I'd comment on my first boat ride of the year!  Thanks to my human momma,   I safely rode with a "borrowed" doggie life jacket! Yep, she made me wear it the whole time, guess 'cause she loves me!  I sat up front for most of the trip, with the wind blowing my hair and eyebrows.... wooHoo! what fun!   Sat on my Aunti Gerri's lap so I could see better. My Uncle Reece piloted the "ship" (actually, a pontoon boat, but ship sounds better).  We saw a few other boats, fishermen, and lots of houses with pretty flowers. Really, all I was interested in was the wind and lake smells in my face... I felt so Freeeeeeeeeeeeeee!    Well, gotta go check out the back yard. I think an Easter bunny is tromping on my turf. Woof-Woof!

Dust Off The Webs

Dusty Web This tattered, dusty web still hung onto the boat dock.  It bounced with every wave, and blew around in the wind.  But it still remained tightly attached, reminding me that most people have "dust" and debris in their web of life. We all need to take a close look at ourselves and remove the old things, ideas, thoughts, hatred, denial, or whatever may detract from living a full and prosperous life.  Are you truly happy with your situation?  Sometimes life throws a curve ball, or two (or a dozen!), but being intelligent humans we are expected to cope, and move on. For some this is possible, for others going forward just isn't in their game plan.  Personally I have been through some traumatic times.  Even though it seems I will never get to a "normal" life, I keep wiggling my "web" and refashioning it.  I never take a day for granted, each sunrise I thank God for my blessings, and ask for strength to get moving and remain grateful.  People keep

Rusty Old Bolt

     Are you a rusty crusty old bolt like the one shown in this photo?  Even though you may feel old and rusty, there is still hope for renewal.  If you look really close at this photo, there is a sprig of new grass growing out of it!  I found this bolt in the sand by the river.  Now, if this old bolt can grow new green, don't you believe there's hope for you?  My mother (God rest her soul) always said, "can't never did nothin".   So, get rid of the "can't" in you, get out there and DO something productive.  I don't care how old and decrepit  you feel, there is always something YOU can do.  Try praying for someone less fortunate than yourself. This will really give you more energy, and make you feel better. Plus, you may help someone in need.  God Bless.
