I am taking time.

Time to say thank you.
Time just to BE.
Time to smell a fragrant flower,
time to sit by the majestic sea.
Time to see
all the beauty in Life
that surrounds me.
Yes,
I am taking time,
before it takes me
away,
before my time.



May ripples of LOVE
become waves of PEACE

Karen, I doubt you've wasted any time! You've just chosen to spend it at your own shopping centers.

I think that this is like a prayer---one that should be read often. So full of truth and wisdom. Simply stated but sooo effective.
It is very soothing. Nature is the best tranqilizer, antidepressant---whatever you need to bring us back into balance.

Thank You!

Well said, and oh, so true. We must all take time out just to BREATHE, and be in the moment. Enjoyed. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

(smiles) Yes, live to breathe, live to believe, but most importantly, live to BE. (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is wonderfully playful, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Y'know...I do a lot of this,
myself...
it's part of my day
that makes me feel good,
saying
Thank You...

Take all the time you need. We will be waiting here for you to come back and paint for us pictures in poetry of what you see.

Kacy,
Did you move Colorado? Because I thought you had no sea! Hope your shore is on the eastern slope.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

LOL at your reply, Larry. Nah, I tried, but it wouldn't budge. This time, it's in my dreams. I really miss the ocean, but don't really miss all the rest of California. Does that make sense? I know I'll miss the northern lights and the moose this winter.
So now that I've changed the subject....

Yes,
I am taking time,
before it takes me
away,
before my time.

We'll never know how much time is left
so we best well take it and make the most of it...so that we have no regrets in the end.

You're a thinker that makes me think, and you always make me smile.

  Thank you Kacy..

EA, thanks for your reply. A mantra maybe?

Chris, thank you, it's good to have you back in here. Breathe in, breathe out...

Paul, I love rhymed replies.

Karilea, yes, and I'm thanking you for being here.

WhiteRose, this is a mental vacation.

Noah, BE, while breathing. LOL.

Dea, thanks for taking time to read and reply.

And yes, we never know how much time we will be given.

Yo Kacy...thanks for taking the time to remind me of just what is important.Time is indeed the money of life and I'm glad I invested a little reading this.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...
