A Glance of the Eye

"An eye can threaten like a leveled and loaded gun, or it can insult like hissing or kicking;  or, in its altered mood, by beams of kindness, it can make the heart dance for joy . . . .
One of the most wonderful things in nature is a glance of the eye; it transcends speech; it is the bodily symbol of identity." Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), USA

When you were a kid, did your mom ever give you one of those looks that made you know, without her saying one single word, that she meant business and that you'd better move?   Or, did your child ever look up at you, with such loving eyes, that you didn't really care about the mess they'd made?  Our eyes can express anger, frustration, sadness or love.  They can tell another person what kind of mood we're in.  They can be so intense that they stop us in our tracks.  They can give us away if we're lying and they can tell someone that we love them.  They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul.  I hope that today your eyes will express happiness, peace and love to all those who you meet.  Have a wonderful day!

Break Through The Fog

One of my Facebook friends posted this today and he said I could share it with you.  Thanks Mohamad!
"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."
 

I think this is a great quote to start the New Year.  Often, we just stumble along, like we're walking through a dense fog, and do things the same old way without even thinking about it.  We don't set new goals, or we set them, and then after the newness of the resolution wears off, discontinue working on them.  That may be working ok for you and, if it is, that's great.  But, if it's not getting you the results you want, I hope you'll follow the advice in this quote and "have the strength to start all over again".   That's the great thing about life - as long as we're breathing, it's not too late to try to change and to start all over agin.  So, in the early days of this brand new year, I wish you the courage to break through the fog and change your life if you need to, embrace it if you don't and, most of all, to enjoy each day.

Plaza at Christmas Time

I decided that, since it's Christmas time, I'd use another Plaza lights picture.  I wish I'd had more time to get the pics I really wanted, but I did like that the horse & carriage were in this one & that a lot of people weren't.    :-0   Hope you enjoy it.  Have a great day! 

Perfection

"When you realize how perfect everything is, you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky."  The Buddah (c.563-c.484BCE), India
