"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...

"After the Storm" by Munford and Sons

"Bonfire Heart" by James Blunt

"Cover Your Tracks" by A Boy and His Kite
"Days like these lead to... Nights like this lead to  Love like ours."

Every gift from the heart... this one a CD of music because they knew I'd like these songs

Flowers in your hair.

Get over your hill and see what you find there... Grace in your amazing
Heart
"I’ve been looking at the stars / For a long, long time / I’ve been putting out fires / All my life"

"King" by 

"Love will not break your heart..."

Night has always pushed up day
One that starts, Starts the spark in Our bonfire hearts
People like us—we don’t Need that much, just some-
Querencia : a place from which one's strength is drawn, where one feels at home;the place where you are your most authentic self. Thank you Mandy at Attualmente

Scared of what's behind and whats before...  Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts
There will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears...
We stood tall... "When all of our flaws... have been
eXhumed  we'll see that we need them to be who we are. / Without them we'd be doomed"

You light the spark  One that starts, Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts
thank you, a-Z lyrics! :)
