Goodbye 2014
“Time has been transformed, and we have changed; it has advanced and set us in motion; it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration.”
~ Khalil Gibran; Excerpt from "Take The Thank You Challenge"
Reflections from Take The Thank You Challenge 2014:
Dreary December, 2014 Rainbow
I never get tired of a rainbow; especially shining through the clouds on a dreary day;
the sky suddenly looks like spring!

“From within or from behind, a Light shines through us upon things,
and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
September, 2014; So much beauty!
No words can truly express all the emotions this video clip pulls out of the soul,
but thankful is one of those emotions;
thankful that the heart thrives even as the body fades

June, 2014 - Don't Give Up!
May, 2014
Driving the back roads today; no traffic; clear blue sky; clouds fluffy white; bright yellow sun; trees painted with incredible fall colors; baby lambs frolicking on the bright green grass; miniature donkeys grazing behind a white picket fence; a flock of geese lounging by a lake; a fluffy grey squirrel browsing through a pile of leaves; horses soaking up UV rays; and just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, I rounded the corner and there was a glorious view of Mount Hood;
20 minutes of all kinds of happy and thankful that stayed with me for hours.
April, 2014 - Spring!

My Happy New Year Blessing for Your 2015L
May this next 365 days bring you Joy!
May your heart be filled with the gratitude that truly can change the atmosphere;
May your days be filled with wonder;
May you be courageous;
May you experience a peace bigger than yourself, beyond understanding;
May you sense His amazing presence even in the middle of the storm;
May your heart be encouraged, your body strengthened, your mind renewed, and
May you see finally the answers to long prayed prayers
