"Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me. I vow to live fully in each moment and to look at all beings with eyes of compassion."

We are all so busy these days. It means a lot that you dropped in to visit and left a comment. I hope you come back to visit soon.
Good morning! What a beautiful rose! Your blog looks like spring.
ReplyDeleteJoy! That is what I think of when I read this quote! Thanks for sharing :).
ReplyDeleteObviously time to wake up and smell the roses... :)
ReplyDeleteI have read Thich Nhat Hanh and he is brilliant. I woke up early this morning, and didn't dare go back to sleep. I kept thinking about what I could do with the extra time.
ReplyDeleteSpring has finally arrived. It's not as hot as it is in Texas that's for sure. We might get up to 60 today. That's warm this time of year for Massachusetts. On Monday the Boston Marathon is hoping it's a cool day for the runners. The race begins in our town. It's quite wonderful, the runners from Kenya are visiting the schools today. That's who the kids cheer for during the race.
Have a great day.

Well, that's right to the point, isn't it? Sometimes it is hard (as you well know) to look at a day ahead as such an opportunity. I would like to print that and hang it up beside (or maybe instead of!) my bathroom mirror.
ReplyDeleteYour roses are so spectacular! Happy Thursday to you. xox Corrine

ReplyDeletePerfect color, perfect shape - perfect quote to go with it.
ReplyDeleteI need to read this on many morning. I may put it on a pillow - look for the blog post.
ReplyDeleteGood morning! A little early or a little late depending on how you look at it. ;)
