Travel Tips

"Life is God's gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to God. Make it a fantastic one."
Leo Buscaglia

"An undeserved and unexpected gift is the most pleasant one to give and to receive."
Janette Oke

Oh the comfort, the inexplicable comfort of feeling safe with a person
Having to neither weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out just as they are... chaff and grain together,
knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping... and then with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away....
George Eliiot

What a joyous day, walking in the park...the air is warm and fresh, clean and light. I stop by a bed of bright Pansies....yellow and fushia. Their tiny, whimsical faces are whispering..."It's almost summer!"....and I smile....

The big smile upon my face spells...."I am in a heavenly place"....ahhhh....all I need is the sun upon my face and the ocean behind me...surely God had me in mind when He created these wonders....knowing how I love them.

"Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way,
See how they shine, Oh when you need a friend.
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will ease your mind"

This is what I hear God whispering to me today....

"In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony."
Eva Burrows

The deep love and support of my Mother, I carried on to my daughters...with ALL my heart.

"Stop to smell the roses." an old cliche, but isn't it so true??
If we fail to stop, take a deep breath and "smell" all the goodness around us, won't we become cynical and "hard"??
Strive to use all your senses, absorb your surroundings...fully and completely...and then give thanks...for life...yours and your loved ones.

I had the gift of spending a week with my two beautiful daughters at Myrtle Beach, July 2006. We laughed, cried, loved and played! Some treasures are immeasurable.
