Do any of us perceive
what the future holds?
No.
Thus, live this day
as though your last.
Cease the grouching
and smile instead.
Why would you want to
spend perhaps your
very last day
with a frown and a curse
when you could very well have
a wide smile
upon your precious face?
Life is such a Gift!
Do yourself a favor and
live it as such.

Oh thank you SO much for showing hubby. I’m touched, Sue! I love sharing my talent and what Mother allows me to see. The magic draws me like a magnet. And when I edited these pictures I was enthralled by the results. I’m so so happy they truly touched you as they do me.
Stay warm and dry and may your weekend dry up a tad and the sun come out. Much Love to you!! (((HUGS))) xoxoxo

It’s hard for me, Andrew, to have a smile and be grateful when I’m in pain. It’s been months of readjusting my back and legs to line up correctly that has beaten the stuffing out of me. I was just thinking the other day when I have really felt pure joy. When I’m not in pain, my usual is a smile and joy. Wishing you a great week as well!! I’m committed in getting my gardens closed for the season. Massive undertaking especially when in a great deal of pain ….. Acupuncturist appt. tomorrow, THANK GOD!! xo

Rupali, bless you and THANK YOU for this valuable feedback!! It is SO appreciated!! I do live life to the fullest! As I told my sis, it matters not to me how much I am worth monetarily. I will keep on doing for myself, working darn hard at times. My hands can attest to how hard I’ve been working lately. Hubby, in trying to get a sliver out of my thumb, said, “Honey, your skin is as tough as leather. I cannot get this out without really hurting you.” If you read my latest post, my hands are tough as leather because of the extremely hard gardening work I’m presently involved in. Even with the many $$$ I do have, I insist for as long as I can do it, to keep on creating with my own two hands! (smile) xo
