Ah, the lilting sounds of another day are upon us. Isn't it wonderful that we can enjoy all the wondrous beauties of all that we survey each day? Isn't it wonderful that we can gaze upon the beauty that surrounds us? Now when we hear that phrase, the first things that usually come to our minds are trees and flowers. However, if we take a closer look, there is another type of beauty that we most often take for granted... not because we don't recognize it or because we don't see it. The real beauty that surrounds us is the beauty of our friends. Each one is a beautiful and most precious jewel and should always be held dear to our hearts. So today... just for today... take the time to honor your friends... give them a hug. When you glance their way smile and let that joy which is you flow to them and through them. You just might be surprised how much brighter and lighter they will feel. A random act of kindness is all that it takes. To give is to receive and when we give of the Self, it will return to us in greater abundance than we could have ever imagined. How divine. How simply divine. Our thought for the day is: 'thoughts backed by emotion give form.' In the soil of our mind there are many seeds. Each seed is a thought. And when our seed grows, it will bring forth a wonderful flower. The flower is the realization of our desire. Grow your garden with the most magnificent flowers that you can possibly imagine. The beauty and abundance of it all will amaze you and spiral your soul beyond the edges of the universe. I wish you rainbows to adorn your skies of azure blue... I wish you sunshine to brighten your day and warm your heart. © Gayle O This is a single flame created in Apophysis 3D Hack.
