Just Smile

  My happiness is always inside of me and all I have to do is smile and it brings up a breath of fresh air which ignites the happiness that is all around me.

Happiness takes on many forms but it always gets the same results,

a tingle in the heart, a breath of fresh air that filters through your body and gives you a glow within.

 A smile is a treasure that everyone has but sometimes we forget that it is the key that opens the chest of life.

THE COLORS OF SUMMER

As I slowly open the shades of our patio door, I see the first snow of the season and it has taken away the colors of the other day. There is a cotton like blanket that covers almost everything that wants to grow, but it looks like the answer is "No". The only hope is that the sun decides that this is not fair.

To my delight the rays of sun break through the grayish sky and begin bringing back the colors that have been stollen from my eyes.

The colors seem to be more vibrant as they push back the seasoning salt like snow but as you know the battle of the seasons has just begun and soon all the colors of Summer will disappear as though they were  on the run.









     It doesn't seem fair but the cycle of seasons always has the upper hand.

Fathers's Smile

Being a father makes life much easier.

It gives fathers a reason to do all the things that are difficult in life and smile at the end. 

Doctor in the Sky

Finally the sky is a December blue and it allows the sunshine to come through. Hopefully it will erase an early November snow that came through.The ice and snow that injured some trees has made them no longer stand erect  but now they are bent over sighing and praying that nature can undo the icy misfortune of last month. 

There is no quick remedy to heal the brittle branches that hang limp from the somber trees but as each day goes by the skeleton like branches start looking spry. 

There is New Life sprouting  on the bony limbs and as each day goes by they keep reaching higher into the sky. 

The trees no longer seem to be in pain and  there is an emergence of emerald like pellets on the branches that shimmer in the morning sun. The fragile brittle branches that seemed to have been withered away are now standing in attention and saluting the Doctor in the spring sky.
