Picture by Josephine Wall

* * *

Make the most of every moment
For this day could be your last
Live for the present time
Do not dwell in the past

Appreciate the little things
You've much to be grateful for
Don't take things for granted
Having less is sometimes more

Inhale the soft sweet fragrance
Of a rose in full bloom
Open your heart's door
And let love fill every room

Show compassion to each other
Display dignity and grace
Make each day a challenge
To bring a smile to someone's face

Allow yourself to be inspired
With every sight and every sound
The possibilities are endless
So take a good look around

Give just a little of yourself
Only then will you receive
You are capable of anything
In yourself you must believe



I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
- Shawn Mullins

I really like the positive message of this!  It's so easy to forget to be thankful for things, sometimes you need that reminder!
