"An Auspicious Day" by Elizabeth Johnstone 

"Bluebird" by Ian Newbury Watercolors

Celebrating LIFE!! Kristen's Birthday and Vickie's recovery

Enthuzimuzzy : "Satirical reference to enthusiasm." Created by Braham the terror, whoever that is." 

"Fluent" : I would love to live / Like a river flows  / Carried by the surprise / Of its own unfolding. -John O'Donohue

Going back through some things, and finding what I need. For example:
"Holidays" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:

The holiest of all holidays are those

Kept by ourselves in silence and apart... 

The secret anniversaries of the heart,

When the full river of feeling overflows; 

The happy days unclouded to their close

 The sudden joys that out of darkness start

As flames from ashes; swift desires that dart

Like swallows singing down each wind that blows!

White as the gleam of a receding sail,

White as a cloud that floats and fades in air

White as the whitest lily on a stream

These tender memories are; —a fairy tale

Of some enchanted land we know not where

But lovely as a landscape in a dream.

What's really important - and What's not

eXceptionalism is the perception that [something] is unusual or extraordinary in some way and thus does not need to conform to normal rules or general principles. Used in this sense, the term reflects a belief formed [and] influenced by knowledge of historical or comparative circumstances.

Y did I stop there, I wonder...
