Zeenat,
I didn’t even realize it was on his heart. Thanks for pointing that out. He is a lot like me in many ways. More so than my grandduaghter. Thanks for stopping by, noticing and taking the time to comment. I appreciate you!

Barbara,
Yes truth and wisdom are timeless. We value the same things.

Evita,
Yes my life is full of fun and the lesson for me is not to feel guilty about it. How silly is that?!?

Carolynn,
Isn’t life grand and relationships fun when we give each other persmission to grow? It sounds like you are doing well. Yeah for the two of you.

Hi Tess,

Oh what fun you’ve been having. I love the photos, and the Desiderata quote is a favorite of mine, too. Like you, it’s been a favorite poem of mine for many many years.

LOVE the reference to painting my own Paradise. *smile*

I recently did something different. I CHOSE to love with my heart wide open, unafraid of being hurt, unguarded, all-in. What a difference it has made to my own experience of my relationship. An unexpected outcome is that I unwittingly gave my partner permission and space to do the same and he has reciprocated.

Tess, What fun…I could feel your splash splash right through those gorgeous photos. The kids are so beautiful. God bless them and you
You have amalgamated the quotes and photos so beautifully….I especially like this one: “Everyone has in him something precious that is in no one else.” – Martin Burber- cause the picture with your hand on your grandsons heart is just so perfect. And your smile is just beaming all through and through.
For me personally life is a celebration everyday I get to spend quality time with my little angel and hubby.
Lots and lots of love to you and the family.
p.s. Whenever you have the time, you can send me the questions for the interview by email. Hugs

Joy,
I have two words to describe you, “spiritually mature.”

Jannie,
I don’t know about that flower but let me know if you ever recall it.
I know you not only celebrate life but every moment of life. You also gift all who read your blog to laugh and that’s a huge gift.

SuZen,
Yes it sounds like you know how to celebrate and don’t ya love what comes out of the mouths of babes? Too bad that has to change during teen years;)

Wilma,
“It is important to make the heart strong as the heart posesses the only intelligence that can deal with life issues.” This is very powerful. I’m glad you shared it, wise one. Don’t you love the wisdom that comes with age?

Tess,
Absolutely beautiful–love and joy just bounce off the pictures and the quotes are perfect!
I’ve been celebrating life lately because just because I have one! I’m not being dramatic–at the hospital at work I’m surrounded by hundreds of peopele who believe they have the swine flu, some are truly very ill. I have people in my life who are frustrated by outside circumstances and seem to have given up for a bit. I may have my own obstacles, but I am surely very lucky to be here, and appreciative of the warm sunny days, my precious children, our circle of friends and all of the little gems hidden in each day to help bolster me in so many ways. The moon last night was gorogeous, and the sun rise this morning was radiant and I am blessed to have experienced the wonder of both:)

Tess, lovely to see the beloved ones in your life in this way. Aren’t you all gorgeous.
I have come to see that play is more important than we think. It makes the heart strong, it is a way to acces the feelings of love and light that otherwise would become a distant memory, forgotten and not to be looked for.
It is important to make the heart strong as the heart posesses the only intelligence that can deal with life issues.
So there, something serious about something so fun.
So play is a life saver and I love making play of everything I do, I loved playing on your blog with you and all who are here.
I will remember being play and light, do you know you are a good persuader,
hugs Wilma.

Hi Tess,
First time to your blog and I loved your warning about the challenges of your blog, and yes, I am ready!
My husband and I spent time on the deck in the sun reminiscing about our grandsons (they are in England) and the adorable (only out of the mouth of babes) comments. We laughed and laughed… spent time massaging Dolce our jack russell, and nourishing our mother, the glorious earth. Thanks for your blog, so nice to revel in gratitude, beauty, and joy!
