So why keep on sweeping the floor, washing the windows, vacuuming the rugs?
When there are so many more things to accomplish…’stuff’ to add to the tiny little cubbyholes of my mind.
Things that cannot be committed to paper
Those tiny spots, of which, if we will just stop and ‘see, will creep over us; tiptoe into our memory banks,
Fill up our wonder…then when old age creeps in, and the body can no longer preform…then those small precious celebrations will spill out in brightly colored heaps, reminding us of yesteryear.
From my world to your heart,
Linda

Love your header! Your little flying flowers are so pretty! Even when we ladies retire, there is still work to do! It will wait on us while we take time to look at God’s handiwork. I have honeysuckle blooming and some red yucca, so have seen one hummer and several hummingbird (sphinx) moths. They are such fun to watch! Thanks for sharing your beauties!
Blessings!

I think it’s so easy to get caught up in WORK and THINGS that MUST be done we sometimes forget to slow down.

I think, as we get older, we finally ‘see’ that life isn’t about all those things we thought it was when we were younger…it’s about now! Right now! Today!
