The World in Color

There are wonderful aspects about this world. Color is one of those wonders. It beautifies and gives variety; it sends messages and sometimes demands attention.

This cardinal is in a photo as I walked by Sunday morning. I couldn't see his color as I took the photo, but I am very happy it came out so well.

The bottom is a reminder: even dried flowers have beauty, a reminder of the love from nature that does not die.

Any thoughts? If not, what is your favorite color found in nature?

A female cardinal is building her nest six inches from our dining room window.  She found a nice spot in the bushes, got herself comfortable, and began setting up house.  After about half an hour she froze.  For the first time noticed the people watching four feet away on the other side of the window.

She had been so preoccupied in setting pieces of grass, paper, and tissues she had totally missed us.  She stared contemplatively.  Scootched around in a circle, rounding out her nest, and checking her surroundings at the same time.  Finally she peeked directly at us again, turned her tail toward us and faced resolutely looking out toward the corn field directly opposite of us.

Humans gone.  Problem solved.

Spring

As you all know, it is Spring. At least for most of you it is. We celebrate the rebirth of nature in all its beauty, and especially the vibrant colors that spring forth from the ground.

As you go throughout this week, get a picture of Spring, in any form you desire, and share the Sunshine and Joy. (If you don't have time to post it here, share the picture with those around you. Appreciate the beauty.)

Love you all!

Happy Easter

Today seems to be a day for missing everybody.  I hope all of you are having a great Easter and know that I love each of you all and want the best for you.  Keep up all the wonderful things you are doing!  

Just as last week Richard had a request, I have one this week.  What is something from this week that most of the rest of us don't know yet?

Our moment

Sometimes it seems like there isn't enough time,
but in reality there is,
you just have to look for it,
and most especially want it.

So I'm happy there's time for this blog :)

Let's take one moment from daily life that you would like to define your entire life. Not necessarily that it defines you now, but what single moment in your current everyday life would you hope to one day reflect who you are? Why?

I would like to imagine my "life-moment" to be when I come back from class or homework, and turn towards people instead of assignments. It would remind me that I do what I do, I learn what I learn, so that I can be better for someone else. Or at least that that's how it should be.

What is your moment?

Be happy

There are a number of reasons why we are on this Earth. There are challenges to be met, growth to occur, and life to be experienced. I hope I make the following invitation in the correct way. 

The invitation is simple: be happy about life.

Feel free to express your thoughts after watching this wonderful video.
I love you all.

Richard
