"Just living is not enough, one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower." The truth of such simple things was not lost on the master storyteller, Hans Christian Anderson.
Today I find myself at a crossroads. Spring has come and with it budding flowers and their annual message of hope and new beginnings. Freedom is revealing itself to me unexpectedly from the midst of gathering storm clouds. And now this morning I wake to a 'ray of sunshine'.
I must admit, as a relative newcomer to the Land of Blog, that I wasn't sure what to 'do' with this award! But oh how it filled my spirit with JOY! Kittie from The Block said this award is her way of passing on a 'ray of sunshine' but I would say it was much more than that. To encourage another breathes life into their soul. Thank you Kittie. We 'met' only recently and already you have in this small way made an impact for good in my life.
This world is too full of fear and duplicity and therefore breeds too easily those behaviours that tear down, wound and destroy. How wonderful to be reminded this morning of those who choose to use their energy to send sunshine into the lives of others.
So in the spirit of this award received, I would like to pass it on to the person that introduced me to Kittie in the first place. I went to school with Pamela Jo and recently discovered her blog Theres just life where she writes, "to get through this life I try to see the funny side of things." You may enjoy her quirky "Friday Flashes." Thank you Pam for enlarging my world. :) I hope you enjoy this ray of sunshine as much as I have.
Lori, Thank you I am so honored and humbled by the award as well as you kind words.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Pam! These awards seem like a lot of cyber fun. :)
