My cup of life brims
With joyous simplicities
That each day offers
Just take a moment to breathe ~
And be grateful that you can

I was supposed to breathe?

Oh yea!

No wonder I've been light-headed lately!

All seriousness aside, this is lovely, Chris.  Your muse is teasing us....with little gifts of de'light!

(smiles) Yay! Oh Chris, I love this, sweet friend, always fill your cup to the top and let the herbs settle into the room before you drink it all down, there may be more always than you think there is! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
