Smooth Sailing
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

+*+*+*+*+*+
On days like this, I glide full speed,
As south winds billow my sails.
Rainbows shimmer in ocean spray,
In the company of singing whales.

The skies are clear and angel blue,
The air bears the scent of the sea.
My spirit soars with the sea gulls high,
For I’m loved, I’m strong, and I’m free!
+*+*+*+*+*+

My body may be stuck behind a desk... but with your words, my spirit soars. *S* This is lovely! *S*

Linda, my friend, I honestly believe you are
really an Angel. You are, aren't you? I'm so
happy that you are happy and in love, Sweetie.
Hugs,

Beautiful dear Linda!!

Yes..today would be a perfect day for sailing..
wearing lots of sunscreen.

Thank you for the birthday wishes in Announcements.

Heart hugs, Nancy~

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back

(smiles) Often even my own family can act cynical in that there are indeed many sad things happening in our world right now, and often my mom likes to call me her one optimist boy, and I always love to say "Steady as we go!" when we make it through days where it can be a little more tense, as I truly believe there is so much evidence of times getting better and light will always shine through the clouds and all will be blue and sunny after a cloudy day, yay! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

suthern ~

Reading (and writing!) poetry can do that for me as well! It sweeps me up, up, up, and away from those proverbial four walls!

Your arms are really wings my dear, and you can fly with the best of we "angels"!

Hugs with love,
Linda

Ethel Mae ~

That graphic that you created, takes my breath away! It is soooo beautiful! ~ and I love the spirit colours as well!

You put a smile in my heart with your kind words but I have to let you in on a little secret, I'm just a wannabe angel ~ I'm not a real one. But let's just keep that between you and me. Flirty 2

Hugs with love,
Linda Lou

Enchanting One ~

I'm glad you liked it! After Mr. Sun went and hid behind threatening clouds, we had a real downpour. ~ but it was refreshing and cooled down the summer heat.

I would loved to have gone sailing today ~ rain or shine! lol

May your birthday week be a joyous one! Actually, may your whole birthday year be a joyous one!

Loving hugs,
Linda

"Steady as she goes!" ~ Yeppers! Right on course with your proverbial sails full of fresh sea (or lake!) wind!

Loveya!
Linda
