Colliding thoughts embrace my heart Caressing touches upon my soul Holding fast, the memory Of Once upon a time Allowing the image of dreams to come Then drifting away before I can see Today is no different than any other day Only the pieces of the game have changed

The skies are grey, the weather speaks in tones of rain and cold, holding my sunshine hostage. Let's just muse our day away, yes? Feeling a little black and white-ish. Today must be #MonochromeMonday with @Old-Guy-Photos! Let's put up a monochrome or three and call it a day.

Oh winter. You move closer to me, every single day. Look away! For I am not ready to give you a place to stay. I wonder what it will take to keep you far away? - Driving through the backroads of Pennsylvania the other day.

I make it easier for people to leave by making them hate me a little ― Cecelia Ahern, The Book of Tomorrow

When what should I see But one that was not my own Dancing in the streets of life Delight in the moment Make it yours to keep.

Spring one day, Fall the next. Rain. Maybe snow. Maybe not.

Eventually all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and know everything happens for a reason. ~Albert Schweitzer

Caught in this feeling, igniting Far and away A pendulum swings Back to you Again

Flowers. There must always be flowers to color my world.


I will savor the fragrance of the coming time, the richness of its hue, only to pass it on to the ensuing caretaker and the next, and the next - until we are back where we began. Enjoy and cherish what you have, the grass is not always greener.

The gift of love. The gift of peace. The gift of happiness. May all these be yours at Christmas.

May the joy continue to radiate in your lives, long after the season is gone, gone, gone. Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!

Love to all, Denise

We Are The World

There comes a time When we heed a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all

We can't go on Pretending day-by-day That someone, somewhere soon make a change We're all a part of God's great big family And the truth, you know, love is all we need We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me Oh, send them your heart So they know that someone cares And their lives will be stronger and free As God has shown us by turning stones to bread And so we all must lend a helping hand

We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving Oh, there's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all But if you just believe there's no way we can fall Well, well, well, well let us realize Oh, that a change can only come When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah

We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
