I value my children and grandchildren. Time spent with them is a huge investment for all of us and benefits our hearts and souls always.

In this new day I feel endless possibilities and opportunities.

Love makes a difference in all lives.

Hold on tight to it and keep it near to my heart.

Walk beside them in silence

The ocean gives me solace.

Love them deeply with my heart and soul.

A complete stranger with their random act of kindness.

My grandchildren.

No more space is needed…..beauty is already there. All I must do is open my eyes, open my heart and soul and recognize the beauty that always surrounds me.

During my morning meditations with God.

Expect less and enjoy every moment.

A simple smile from a stranger.

Unconditional love.

Just stop…….and listen.

Free my heart from hatred. Free my mind from worries. Live simply. Give more. Expect less and enjoy every moment.

Perseverance……one step at a time, one day at a time.

The gift of viewing a beautiful sunrise on this gorgeous spring morning.

I tend to take for granted our sweet, yellow lab, Millie, who provides endless joy, friendship and unconditional love to our family. Moving forward, I will change this by being more patient when she needs to go out at the “wrong” times, understand her needs to be social with every other animal and appreciate her simple way of life.

Recent circumstances have enabled me to grow in the caring and comfort of my loved ones.
