~ Simple Pleasures ~
~ I believe we should linger in sunsets longer ~
~ You're never too old to make sand castles and snow angels ~
~ Every day try to listen to a little music, for me it's show tunes ~
~ Ride on a carousel and savour the flavour of a candy apple more often ~
~ Try believing in things like faeries, Brigadoon, and kismet ~
~ Smile at strangers and practice random acts of kindness ~
~ Curl up with a cup of apple cinnamon tea ~
~ Listen to the laughter of your children and grandchildren ~
~ Keep a simple abundance journal ~
~ Find a new hobby, as I did last summer ~
~ Try rock painting, drying flowers or collecting unique birdhouses ~
~ Watch old romantic movies like "Gone With the Wind" ~
~ Stay in touch with your ICQ and Internet friends ~
~ Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you will land amongst the stars ~
~ Within your heart, keep one still secret spot where dreams may go ~
Remember, life may not be the song you requested,
but as long as you're here you might as well dance.
Above all, believe in yourself and your dreams...
especially your dreams for they do come true.
I don't just believe; I know!
On October 13, 1997, after thirty-six years,
mine did come true.
Gary, you know exactly what I mean,
and it was, "pure magic"!
Although I maintain a love of magic and am a proud associate member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, I do enjoy many of life's... simple pleasures.
Most days from early spring till late fall, you will find me puttering about or meditating in my garden amongst the lavender, roses, daisies, wildflowers and magic plants that bloom at dusk... just about the time the faeries come out to dance. I believe gardening is an instrument of grace.
