"If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live" — Yutang Lin

“A thing of beauty is a joy for ever;
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams and health
And quiet breathing” (John Keats)

touch of beauty

Do you ever have those days when all seems right with the world as you gently greet the day with a smile in your heart and you find that it all seems to fit well? My daughter and I met a dear friend and his son for a bike ride on the Root River trail yesterday. The air was fresh, the weather perfect, and the trails nearly empty, providing a union with each other, the Good Lord, and the nature around. ... We followed it with a delightful lunch at a small cafe in a tiny town and traversed back only to share guitar, song, friendship and drink. ... .

We all need to enjoy life's most precious moments!

Blessings

There are days...

There are days we awake

With joy beyond words

There are days we awake

With tears of unspoken sad

There are days we awake

Wondering whats ahead

There are days we awake

with sweet prayers on our lips

No matter the heartthe emotion

the thought

Let's always awake

With love on our hearts...
