Walk Your Talk and Critters

 Often it's an invisible enthusiasm that silently waits to be discovered. What an excellent way to begin the day.

Remember to include your favorite critters!

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS


If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic. Dale Carnegie









Once again I lean toward a quote I've read that gives me pause. This one by Erik Pevernagie, is one of those thought provoking wonders, which excite my senses. He begins,

"In their quest for the "real moment" some expect to grab hold of the singular instant that feels like a journey between the past and the future,




Joy to the world!
We had an unexpected surprise visit from my daughter and her family!





Between a land they know and the land they don't know.





In their pursuit they hope to encounter that 'genuine' moment, that frail child of the fleeting time that leaves a scar in the memory.
Erik Pevernagie




About those details in life that may look insignificant, "They enable us to retreat from the trivial, daily worries and can generate delightful bliss and true joy in a sometimes frantic and chaotic life." Erik Pevernagie

Critters offer a delightful bliss.


Thank you but I can see clearly so no need for a haircut!


Thanks for my own special place!






This visit made it possible for Lyra to play in the snow this winter with her Minnesota snow cousins!




A most curious creature the owl, stays awake and often preys while the world sleeps, seeing so widely in the dark, as does even this little shop owl waiting for someone to bring him home.




There is never a dull moment with kiddos and critters of all makes and kinds.





Moments of simplicity.  They define real genuine moments in life.

Life is really simple but we insist on making it complicated.
Confucius


Manifest plainness,
Embrace Simplicity,
Reduce selfishness,
Have few desires. 
Lao Tzu 



Yesterday we celebrated my daughter-in-law's birthday.




So, always eat the cake, and for those that know this story "Always make the chili."

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your sweet comments
 they mean everything to me.
Take good care of you.
