Thankful

For These We Thank Thee

Sunrise and sunset,
Ocean and rivulet,
Wild beast and family pet...
  For these we thank Thee.



Parent and little child.
Inchworm and country mile.
Tear drop and friendly smile...
For these we thank Thee.






New bud and fading flower,
Small trees and trees that tower.
Downpour and little shower...
For these we thank Thee.


Blessings and trials too,
Dark skies and skies of blue,
For Your love to see us through...
Father we thank Thee.

Loise Pinkerton Fritz

Have a beautiful day!

Sunshine Smiles

Since this is the beginning of something new to me I'd like very much to begin on a positive note. Today I made the decision it was time to renew a gym membership I allowed to lapse for a couple of months. I do believe I'll be feeling it soon!

It's been an incredible but busy summer but I refuse to say I long for Autumn days because each season seems to pass by quickly.

Speaking of little glimpses of sunshine here are a couple of my grandchildren. Times can be tiring for sure but the laughter and silly fun lives on in memories as well as photos.
This is my dog Nanook. You will probably hear a lot about her. She's a big part of my days and helps keep me out walking! She prefers the cooler weather but is fine with early morning or late afternoon walks in the summer. It's been hot lately!
A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.
Max Muller
Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.
James M. Barrie
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.
Anthony J. D'Angelo
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman
Kindness is the sunshine in which virtue grows.
Robert Green Ingersoll

Keep shining!
