Dinner time.   There is such beauty in natural existence.    

There is such beauty in our floral world.

There is nothing like an old barn and a field of flowers to add joy to your existence.

Pictures tell a story.  Pictures make us feel like we are a part of what is on going in life.   We cannot always get out and partake in nature's beauty but we can spend a little of our seconds enjoying a picture or two which most likely brings up some favorite memories.   A reminder to take your camera with you when you walk out that door.  One never knows what special memory you will create when you take your camera for a walk.

The weekend is here, finally, a hot one, weather we like it or not.    Going to go up to ninety degrees today and hopefully end this almost end of August weather.   Don't get to complacent though as August is not done with us.  We have a little more to endure before the lovely Fall weather begins to show.  Enjoy today, don't waste your seconds on wishful thinking about cooler weather or you will lose out on today.    Make the best of each day as it comes, there is no guarantee as to what is in or future.  I am thinking and praying for all those folks who are homeless due to stormy weather they had no idea was heading their way.    It shows us, in its own inimitable way that each day holds surprise for us, sometimes very good and sometimes very bad.   So do do not waste your seconds, they are priceless, and. . . you are suppose to live each day not just tolerate.    Today, think of some one thing you have been putting off for whatever reasons your mind could conjure up.   Dragging your feet to wait for a better day, a better time, a better whatever that holds you back from enjoying today.    Our summer days are numbered, how do I know??? The stores are already putting out Halloween candy.....don't buy it...let it rot on the shelves, it is probably left over from last year anyway.    So, be your own boss.    Put your ideas and plans in order and do your living the way you want to, not the way Wall St. dictates.    The only way you will beat the system in place now, is to decide what you want for you and yours and stick to your own plan.   I know easier said than done, but you are smart, clever and can outwit 'them' every time.    You haven't even bought the kids school shoes, and 'they' are sending signals for the holidays already.....slow down, think, and decide what it is you want for you and your family and stick to your own plans.

Enjoy today, it is a summer, hot August day, so be lazy.  Sit under a shady tree and hunker down with a good story.    Pack a picnic lunch and invite someone to join you.   Laze away a few hours rebuilding and recharging your energies.    There is work to be done , isn't there always?   A never ending cycle which we really enjoy , otherwise we'd be bored out of our skulls.    If you need something 'good' to go with that iced tea, early morning hours are a good time to 'heat' the kitchen.   A batch of cookies or cupcakes really don't take that much time...so get up and get going and enjoy every second of today.

Be good, be kind, be gentle . . . open up those arms and hug someone you love and like and want to send a special greeting today.    Hugs do make our world go around in such a loving way.    Go, visit a shut in, share a few of your precious moments and send a message of love to those who are in need.   Speaking of those in need , take time to make out a small check and send it off to the Red Cross or Salvation Army as you know they will be out helping all of those folks who have been left homeless because of the fires and floods.    There but by the Grace of God...go I.........think about that and do your good deeds today.    Be an earth angel today.    Hugs to all.
