April Love 2105 - Day Two


April Love, Day Two - "My Favorite Flower"

A summer never goes by that I don't load up on the gorgeous Tuberous Begonia. The leaves are thick, rich dark green, while the blooms can range from reds to pinks to brilliant oranges. I usually buy several of each color and watch the magic begin :-)

Early Mornin' Rain

"Early Morning Rain" ~ Eva Cassidy. I didn't know who she was, until she died.

Red Grass; still giving off glowing love

I think this screams, "WELCOME, DAY!!!" :-)

"Washed clean"
Heavy Fall rains, yet my blooms stand strong. I'll let them show off for as long as they'll 'have me.' I love Fall, but I'm in no hurry to lose my batches of summer growth & color.

Advent Day Four - The Advent Virus!!!!



The Advent Virus . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Anonymous via email.

WARNING……WARNING: ADVENT VIRUS

Be on the alert for symptoms of inner Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to this virus and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world.
Some signs and symptoms of The Advent Virus:
  • A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences.
  • An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
  • A loss of interest in judging other people.
  • A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.
  • A loss of interest in conflict.
  • A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom.)
  • Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
  • Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
  • Frequent attacks of smiling.
  • An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.
  • An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.
Please send this warning out to all your friends. This virus can and has affected many systems. Some systems have been completely cleaned out because of it.

 I loved this one so much for Day Four, that I just had to share. I have no words to compare. :-) Please enjoy.

Advent Days One & Two

ad·vent  (dvnt)n. The coming or arrival, especially of something extremely important.

"Jesus is the reason for this season."
 Okay; since I failed miserably @ listing my daily Thanksgivings, let's see if I can list daily advent thoughts. I am always grateful for so many things but time seems to get away from me.

Day One (12/1/12), I was grateful for:
  • the warm December weather that gave me one last chance to put all things summer away
  • the help that my son (unwillingly) gave me in bagging leaves, etc. (he had no choice, really :-))
  • awesome left over sausage w/peppers spaghetti sauce over pasta
  • my attempt at making my own advent tree, failing epically, but coming up w/another idea
  • FaceBook for allowing me to keep track of my friend, Lisa's, business trip to Europe (jealousy)
Day Two (12/2/12), I am grateful for:
  • deep, relaxing Bible study time in my room in silence (wooooosahhhh)
  • all the help "D" gives me, financially, emotionally, etc.
  • the two beautiful Christmas ornaments I purchased from the WorkShops where the disabled (including my son) create beautiful art. I think I will make this a yearly tradition. The art is gorgeous and the $$ goes back into the WorkShops
  • friends and family
  • deciding to keep Christmas decorations at a minimum this year - to focus on the real reason for the season
Namaste :-0)
