Dress it up with a little sunshine today. While the soft, gentle wind blows you all the way through life, let's celebrate the small, sweet moments in between life and living.
“What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceivable” Joseph Addison
Can it be a #BeautifulSunday if all you do it the needful? Cleaning and cooking and tidying the garden? I think so. It gives me great satisfaction knowing that my life is reasonably in order and so, the rest of the week will be smooth sailing.

“We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.” Frederick Keonig
When memories start to fade, clip them back a bit... then provide food and water to the "cutting" while it is establishing roots.

Today is a perfect day for a perfect day! I've said this before, but, when it is full and unavoidably true, it requires to be said again and again.

You're beautiful. Can't you see?
In that place of love, the one perceived, it matters not, what you believe. The story fits in a layer of truth, in the pages of strength, to give and receive. And then.
I have to wonder
Why logic is no answer for passion and all the while, I wrap my heart with a ribbon of desire.
If ever a moment shall present itself Silent you should be Your gentle touch only serves to remind Of a love that shall never be
Today is a #BeautifulSunday by @Ace108, where we share our day in the most possibly beautiful way that we can. So toiling about the house, and the flowers and we can call it a day, a definitely #SublimeSunday in the making, by the Meister of my morning, @c0ff33a. I do love my @c0ff33 and he likes eclectic! A match made in heaven.
A smoothie! Who wants a smoothie? Raise your hand. Raise it high!

I have always loved fruits and vegetables, even juicing them to get the full nutritional value of everything that I grow, pick or buy. Waste not, want not, am I right? It was in juicing that I learned I could eat the skin of the kiwi. Who knew? Not this girl. This nutrient-packed delight is already on the good deal list of fruits. But, did you realize that by eating the skin, you triple your fiber intake? But, hey! If you peel it, you still get a healthy dose of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E, folate, and potassium. You are welcome. Very. Admittedly, it is a cleaning-cooking-getting- ready-for-the-next-week-kind-of-day. Le sigh. Truly.
And just because this is so eclectic (It's true!!) we are going to do a refrigerator check! Okay... you know the drill!!! Open up wide and take a picture! That always keeps me honest on the junk I put in it. I just finished shopping the other day, so it has awesome yumminess still inside!

Flowers. There must always be flowers to color my world. I also dedicate this same picture to #SundayPurple (ish) by @Kalemandra, who colors my world every single day!
I knew before I saw you Your touch would start my turn From the bottom to the top To a place I can breathe Once, all over again
With you, but alone The night almost gone I know how I feel Getting off this spinning wheel Again, all over again
And just like that, these musings are done. I want to thank @ace108 and @c0ff33a for hosting these challenges and just so you know, although much sun and shine was used up today, I can guarantee that there is still a little left in my heart. Have a most fabulous day!
Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post, again and again. In the game of life, my friends, pondlife is at least a little further up the evolutionary chain than the insult - pond scum. Keep it classy, people. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.
I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire i cried the way women on tv do folding at the middle like a five pound note. i called the boy who use to love me tried to ‘okay’ my voice i said hello he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying, and these are what my prayers look like; dear god i come from two countries one is thirsty the other is on fire both need water.
later that night i held an atlas in my lap ran my fingers across the whole world and whispered, "where does it hurt?" it answered,
"everywhere" "everywhere" "everywhere"
