Keep Up and Pass It Along

Life teaches us that in every
 face to face encounter
regardless of how brief
we leave something behind.
Also, we are apt to pass it on.

It determines the rest of our day.



and Happy

"Life is not about how fast you run
 or how high you climb 
but how well you bounce."
Or eat!

"Writing is a lot like making soup.
My subconscious cooks the idea,
but I have to sit down at the computer to pour it out."
Robin Wells

Feel the wonder about you.


Ever since my childhood,
(pretty sure it began one Halloween evening)
I discovered 
One of my secret passions
is to stand still surrounded by darkness
at let the glows that illuminate our path 
brighten our way.
Shine on and carry the light.
Always.

New discoveries light your way.


You just know it was a blast to attend
Let's meet "Pete the Cat" author in Huntsville, Alabama
at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center

I've learned that untold treasures are found
 in the imagination of  a child.

"We begin in childhood that the simplest, tiresome or heaviest task
is most meaningful if you do it with the right spirit."

"Those that dare not to dream big
are cowards
for they fear to expose
the already great potentials 
embedded inside of them."

Little one, who watches, over our pond
we love you.

Betting he's covered in snow as you read this post.


You'll never be able to tell how high a frog can jump
just by looking at him.



This is something worth chewing on-

"We have too many high sounding words, 

and too few actions that correspond with them."

Abigail Adams



Lyra grew up with "Pete the Cat"
just one of many series.

Don't let anyone tell you that keeping a journal of the fun, exciting and satisfying things that happen to you everyday 
aren't worth writing down.
Keeping the memory of them
is as important as the next breath you take.


If we never listen to those moments 
when creativity interrupts our daily life,
well we'd never have any art. Of any kind.

At some point in time
 we learn the great challenge of life
is to decide what's important and to
disregard everything else.

When someone tells you
 that you'll fail at something
don't believe them. 
Try anyway.

We've all learned that sometimes that one thing
or place or being that you could always rely upon
sometimes goes away.

Going to miss coming here.

Nothing could be more fun than
spending the afternoon with 
 40 degrees on an icy lake in Minneapolis.
and dogs that remind you how to be more playful.

We've all learned at one time

that every great achievement

was once considered impossible.

I've recently learned that nobody really knows 

at what precise moment 

when you discover that

one something you never really understood

until that precise moment 

of your discovery.

What happens 

when reality arrives?

What you do with it

makes all the difference.

It really doesn't matter how you get there

just that you do.

Be Bold.

The heart that gives, gathers.
