Life's a Dance, You Learn as You Go.....

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.  Comes into us at midnight very clean.  It’s perfect when it arrives and puts itself in our hands.  It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday.  ~ John Wayne

"When we find inspiration, we need to take action for ourselves and for our communities. Even if it means making a hard choice, or cutting out something and leaving it in your past." 

Aron Ralston

I love this painting.  The women gathered branches from the garden.  They painted what they observed in the garden.  This painting was done over 200 years ago.  It is comforting to think of women in a garden, hundreds of years ago, doing the same things we might do today.  They loved beauty then, we love beauty now.

I consider persons who create art, write, or paint, garden, cook, do crafts, farm, knit, sculpture, volunteer, raise a family and those who care for others, as life givers.  They live, they take action, they give.  They made good choices.

I've been thinking about my life.  My choices.  Where I am now.  Choices reach far into the future.  Choices are determiners.  Whether our choices are well thought out or spur of the moment they still determine our much of our life.

And there it is, a few of my recent pondering's.  

Blessings ~ and thanks for stopping by!
