Giving Thanks on Thursday ~ 02/25/10

Happy Thursday everyone and yes the white stuff called snow will be falling today 3 to 6" will fall over the next 2 days. Without any delay our mantra for today:

Spring 22 days away, some snow is on its way today-

Soon we will see some budding trees-

Snow won't you just go away please. Please.....


So I hope you have your gratitude journal close by. This time spent alone with your thoughts is what makes that shovel or scrapper a little more easier to use.

Giving thanks, showing appreciation for what good things we have in life is truly what it is all about. Joy and smiles come in all shapes and sizes. A smile from a mirror in the morning, a smile from a small child during the day and smile of a baby asleep can make the heart fill with joy.

What are you grateful for today? What plans do you have for your flower garden this year.

Take a look at your yard now, imagine where and what you have to plan this year do you almost see the bee's buzzing around doing their magic? You can almost feel the heat on the top of your shoulders.

A quote about some spring flowers:

God loved the flowers and invented soil. Man loved the flowers and invented vases. ~Variation of a saying by Jacques Deval (God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages.)

and

Awake, thou wintry earth -

Fling off thy sadness!

Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth

Your ancient gladness!

~Thomas Blackburn, "An Easter Hymn"

and lastly

Earth laughs in flowers. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few words of wisdom I hope you enjoy. So the next time you see those dandelions all over your yard in pockets know that the earth may just be giggling with you. Kind of makes you smile right now.

Today enjoy it.....Tomorrow explore it....Right now live within it!

Till next time..... Smile and dream big!
