Reflections

Moonlight

The true joy of a moonlit night is something we no longer understand.  Only the men of old, when there were no lights, could understand the true joy of a moonlit night. ~ Yasunari Kawabata

Dawn

We went down into the silent garden.  Dawn is the time when nothing breathes, the hour of silence.  Everything is transfixed, only the light moves.  ~ Leonora Carrington

Sunset

In silence the three of them looked at the sunset and thought about God. ~ Maud Heart Lovelace

It will be happier...

Hope
Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
Whispering 'it will be happier'...
~ Alfred Tennyson

Wishing you a joyful, prosperous and hopeful New Year!

“I’m here. I love you. I don’t care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. There’s nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me.” 

 ~ Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Optimism/Mandarin Orange Monday

Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence. ~ Og Mandino

Orange Tuesday: Lantana

My neighbor's Lantana in April...they were blooming all summer long.  And stopped when the monsoon rains started.
