Peace Lily blooms in my house … If only Peace could bloom as easily all around the world … For that to happen it has to first start inside each person’s heart … May peace bloom in your heart today!
When long ago memories pop in unexpectedly and fill your heart with joy.
We aren’t always aware of the times that we are being someone’s Lighthouse … Keep being YOU … By that simple act you are touching lives.

Yes, it was a very windy day. I did go in to a town and have a lunch.

Too bad about the wind, but at least it wasn’t rainy. And its ok to take a break for lunch. Food is needed. 🙂 I hope you took pics of your food. That is the cool thing to do you know.

I can imagine. No pressure. Just drink an extra amount of coffee to make up for all you missed and that way you will be up all night and have more time. Sleeping is over-rated! LOL!

I guess that could weigh you down. Need to build up strength and maybe you can fly next time.
I do hope you have a safe trip back.

What if my heart is set on pizza? Would that count?
My long ago memories of starving all the time, sometimes leave my heart filled with joy. Because they are so long ago.
It’s always better to be someone’s lighthouse, than someone’s outhouse.

Cheerful and uplifting, Thank you, Joy. Your sweet post made me think of a poem by Mary Oliver. I will copy the beginning here:
“If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still life has some possibility left… “
