With confidence I choose,

 Happiness is ... 

Wandering, musing, evolving, 

creating, whirring, 

stirring things up...

linking, observing, listening,

singing, playing...

moving right along.

Advent season brings my time 

of reticence and solitude. 

I love the deepening purple shadows

as the afternoon sun glistens

and slides early into velvety darkness.

It's a magical time.

A beautiful time... to just be...

Amazing relationships

 influence my life.  I appreciate

 and give thanks for them.

not neglecting them.

What is it you'd like to know?
That all's well? 
Indeed, then, I would say...
 Make it so!

the evergreen that calls us 

to gather around it, 

to sing merrily,

to laugh abundantly,

to feast on friendship

My beautiful technicolor dream coat

Times, they are a 'changin'...

and me, I'm a reelin' ...

caught in the cross hairs of life.

Yikes! My heart's a bit askew,

 as I chew on what to do. 

But I keep my focus at center,

no matter what I encounter.

 There I discover, recover, and

create something beautifully new.

In the eye of the storm outside my window,
 I see the heart of the looming crisis,
the ominous specter raging wild. 
Yet within this heart exists a perfect core.
Amidst the fear of deluge, I sense there is a place of calm, a lagoon of pure hope and possibility. ~ ATB ~

In the Province of Possibilities

 I delight in a magical, quirky world.

 Imagination is key to revealing

 a sky and sea of creativity. 

I wade in, stepping further and further

from shore. I gaze up at the sky, 

blue above me. Letting go: I splash, 

I frolic, I play. Joyful... I feel

my heart open to see.

 Feeling functional...
 It's good to contemplate,to be aware each morning when you wake up that you wake as a  functional being. You are appreciating being alive, still useful, capable of performing -- aware of being operational, serviceable and still working. Yes, it's good to pay attention for a moment. It's good to take inventory: being grateful for being still functional, still aware, still believing in life's meaning and purpose. ~ ATB ~

 Life sometimes feels 

like a blurry Ferris wheel ...

 spinning, whirling, streaming 

round and round, upside down,

chaotic colors reeling on

wild, fluorescent breezes.

Hang on to the rail.

Trust... that a clear view

 will soon prevail.
