Bluebonnets

All Saints' has the most beautiful Bluebonnet fields in all of Fort Worth... Here is a pic of me sitting in them (yes I am that corny) last Friday afternoon.  I took some more that I will hopefully have time to put up soon...I just LOVE wild flowers...and don't forget Bluebonnets=NO MOW ZONE!

hahahahaha, enjoy them while they last...I hear there is only about two weeks left to enjoy their beauty!!

Honor this day!

Wonderful words by Ralf Marston.... READ IT...LOVE IT...LIVE IT!

Feel what a privilege it is to be alive today. Consider all the possibilities available to you, right now.See the wonder and the beauty all around you. Let yourself ruly love who you are and where you are in this moment.


Sense the eagerness within you to get started, to make things happen, and to create value. That eagerness comes from your genuine excitement about expressing yourself through your accomplishments.


Look at all the new ways that this day gives you to express
who you are. Even the troubles, even the problems, and even the obstacles give meaning to life because they give you something to build upon.


Life's many circumstances and situations give you a way to pull yourself up, and rise to a new level of being. Whatever comes your direction gives you a way to create value that will last beyond this day, value that will be with you always.


Honor this day, honor the possibilities in this day, honor the love and the beauty in this day. Look around at all you have, and in this moment make it, in your own way, into something truly great.

Easter

I watched an old man (probably in his late 80's) walk his wife down the isle of the church to communion today.  He was bent over, rocked from side to side with each shaky step, his hands were twisted with arthritis, his skin was thin and covered with bruises, he had no hair...but when he looked at her and smiled you knew he felt just as he did when they first met and that smile made him young again.  I did not know these people but watching them filled my heart with warmth and joy.  


I think, sometimes, I tend to get swept away in the every day bustle of life.  Checking my e-mail, if not from the computer then from my ever handy phone, texting friends, thinking about what I need to do when I get back to Fort Worth, worrying about work and what I am to do with my life, I forget to be "in the moment" and enjoy what is right in front of me.  Today I took the time to enjoy my family, the miracle of the resurrection of Christ, nature and let my mind rest.  It was a great day.  (As I write this I am sitting at my dining room table, french doors open, listening to the birds chirp.  My parents and dogs surrounding me (literally) and a beautiful arrangement of flowers in front of my face.  It fills my heart with the same feeling as when I was watching the true, deep love that old man had for his wife. Funny.)


Be adventurous, have passion, BE in the moment, enjoy life.
