As Jackie Gleason used to say "how sweet it is." Life is most assuredly sweet and gentle. That is the way it truly is. Life is not as it sometimes appears to be. We do not have to believe in appearances when we know the truth. We can know that life as it moves outside of ourselves is an appearance and how we perceive that appearance depends upon how we feel that day. We can also know that living our lives from the inside out will bring with it a sunny day filled with the fragrance of flowers all around us. We just have to make up our minds as to what kind of day we wish to experience... and then once we have made that choice, we must allow the day to unfold without direction from us. It can be a most amazing adventure if we allow our lives to unfold based upon our conscious choice made upon our awakening from a night's slumber. You and I can make our life whatever we wish it to be. So let us make it the sweetest possible. Let those words of wonderment and joy float from our hearts onto the pages of our Life's Journal. Our dreams of today are the future seeds of our tomorrows. How divine. How simply divine. Our thought for the day is: 'The creation of a thousand forests in one acorn.' Quote by Ralph Waldo Emmerson Have a most excellent and wonderful day. Live your life from the inside out because that is where everything starts for us... from the inside.

Post work was done in PSP. Thank you for stopping by to share a moment in time with me. I appreciate you viewing my art and leaving comments on my images.

You make my world a little brighter and bring rainbows to my valley of life. What a wonderful gift to receive. May your days be filled with sunshine and roses and may your nights be lit be the stars above. Namaste.
