SMILE

THE SIMPLE ACT OF SMILING COSTS NOTHING BUT CAN TRANSFORM
NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE THE POWER OF A SMILE BOTH ON YOUR EMOTIONS
AND THOSE OF OTHERS AROUND YOU
A SMILE CAN HEARTEN THOSE FEELING DOWN
IT CAN FEEL LIKE A RAY OF SUNSHINE
MAKING YOU FEEL CONNECTED EVEN WHEN YOU ARE STRANGERS
GIVE IT A TRY...IT COSTS NOTHING
IF ANY THING A SMILE IS PRICELESS
THE ABILTIY TO BRIGHTEN SOME ONE ELSE DAY
TO FILL YOUR OWN HEART WITH WARMTH AND GLADNESS
TO FEEL CONNECTED....NOW THAT IS SOMETHING TO SMILE AT


BLESSINGS BE

THE SUN AND SEA

I HAD A WEEK OF ENJOYING THE CUBAN SUN AND SURF
FOR ME THE SUN AND OCEAN ARE RESTORATIVE TO MY BODY AND SOUL
MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE MY ROOTS ARE IN A COUNTRY THAT IS FULL OF SUNSHINE
AS A AUSSIE I SPENT MY SUMMERS BATHED IN GOLDEN SUNLIGHT AND PLAYED IN THE WATERS AROUND ME
I LOVE THE FEEL OF SAND IN MY TOES AND SALT WATER BATHING AWAY MY WORRIES WITH EVERY PULSE OF THE WAVES.
I HAVE A LOVELY GLOW ON MY FACE AND IN MY HEART AS I SIT ONCE MORE LOOKING OUT AT THE SNOW THAT REPRESENTS AN ALBERTAN WINTER
I OFTEN WONDER HOW OR WHY I AM HERE AS I AM NOT A WINTER PERSON AT HEART
I AM AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SAND AND OCEAN AS I COULD POSSIBLY BE
THE AUSTRALIAN IN ME OFTEN ASKS 'WHY'
THE SEEKER IN ME UNDERSTANDS LESSONS TO BE LEARNT AND BEAUTY TO BE UNDERSTOOD
BUT FOR NOW I AM GREATFUL FOR MY WINTER BREAK
FOR THE SUN, SAND AND THE SEA!

BLESSINGS BE
