I am always encouraged if I can make my words speak, perhaps make a connection between images and words. Sometimes I can feel the words wrap around the other, looking for a place to grow up into the story. They surround me with life and let their light shine through.
Gather your feelings
Hide them in the clouds
Until the weight of time
Has blown them away
Forever
Yet another day to feel thankful, and I am. I am thankful for the strangers that I encounter through daily living. Their gifts ripple out upon the spiritual waters of the earth and uplift the bond of our shared humanity. People make the world go round. I bumped into two beautiful humans today. I got a smile, which I could see in their eyes. I put that in my pocket and carried it with me for the rest of the day. Yes. I feel blessed.
I have asked this before and gotten so many different answers on it, so I ask you again, my friend. If the sun shines in your soul, does it really matter if it rains outside? Last night, it rained quite mighty, right before my very eyes, and at the time, I might have said, yes!! It matters. But, oh, what a difference a day makes! For, in the end, I found, it really doesn't matter at all. Nobody can take my sunshine away.
I have gotten off track with so much going on, that my #beautifulsunday and #sublimesunday are centered around the beauty in the files that I am sorting through.
Once again a #BeautifulSunday created by @Ace108, where you take your day and share what you did. I have to admit, I wandered through my words, making this post while sorting through pictures, looking for the beauty in my day. I would also like to thank @c0ff33a and his #SublimeSunday. Where you can post your random thoughts and dreams between the lines. I thank him for this opportunity to let those words flow. And today, my @c0ff33a, that makes you my hero. Again.
Christmas will be coming soon. Less will be more this year. More than I expect. :) It's not about the presents my friends, it is about family and friends. In keeping with the Christmas Countdown, I give you one seasonal picture and the day count! There are 39 days 23 hours 39 minutes and 27 seconds.
All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.
It’s my way. I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.
May there always be a flower to color your world with love. #alwaysaflower And just like that, this post is over! Come back tomorrow and we will do it again. And please, always remember that kindness counts, wherever you are, whatever you do. Love to you always. Denise ❤️
How Do I Love Thee?
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Some words are better left unsaid. Well, for me anyway. I have to think about how I want to say them sometimes, so as to not offend.

Hello @dswigle! Your beautifully written reflections moved me deeply. So much gratitude and kindness distilled from your words! I kind of needed to read something like this. Thank you so much for sharing!
Beautiful flowers. Great post.
Your images are so captivating Denise... and your words inspiring! Super photography!
Thank you @mers for the kind and thoughtful words! They warm the heart! ❤️
If the sun shines in your soul, does it really matter if it rains outside?
NO. Doesn't matter.
How MUCH I respect and love people with such a life position and outlook. Unfortunately, my family has different views, and I was grown with them too, but some years ago I changed my outlook and....the world changed for me too.
So I thank you for these word, they help to remember how right I was to see White stripe of this life.
I think we all have something that we internally know we believe and are taught the right way, but, whose right? While I don't think my parents did a wrong job with me, with the exception of not giving us free choice when we believed differently. Life does look different when you can go with your heart.
I am so glad you found your own right way! :)
yeah..the same with me. our parents thought they were right, but now when we are parents too, we can see they did not. Maybe it's our life lesson to be wiser with in our own families
I know you are right. Even my mother felt like she was wrong, but, that is now, not then. :)
it's great. it's better late than never. My mother, unfortunately, doesn't hear me, and not because she is selfish too much, just doesn't hear or doesn't want to hear...
it's always painful to realize you were wrong so much when you're used to think you are always right..
I love the bright, sunshine-y flower photos! That's enough to brighten my day right there.
Thank you!!! I love that sunshine that blows in my face like that! Alas, those sunshiney days are about to turn on us, I am afraid!
Thanks so much for stopping by! ❤️
Probably it was a really beautiful day), Denise) How many colors. Today I could not resist and picked a bouquet. My day also became beautiful)
Perfectly stunning! I love chrysanthemums! They last forever and they smell amazing! I am glad you had a great day,
