IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

Beauty is not caused. It is. ~Emily Dickinson
.
Today I am grateful...
  • for further proof HP does for me what I cannot do for myself
  • for the beautiful texture of my life--I wanted to compare it to silk velvet--strong and comfortable and easy to wear
  • for the incredible blessing of letting go--when I can manage to completely turn something over and not take it back
  • for a slow start to a new Saturday
  • that tonight is gallery night!

So many people think that beauty is what you do to yourself; what you wear, makeup, clothes, hairstyles or expensive jewelry. Again it is so easy to get caught up in "things". Reality is not about what we wear but who we are.

The beauty that God has created comes from within. The twinkle in the eyes that says "hello". The hug that says "I love you". The gentle embrace and smile that says "I forgive you". The tear that cries "I understand". ~Fr Leo

Velvet makes me hot. Well not hot in a hip cool way, but hot in a damn hot flashes kind of way.

Those slow starting Saturdays are great. I had to get going this AM because I met a sponsee for coffee. And there were 37,000 runners in the way.
