Heart ~ Sept. 25, 2011

Well now . . . went to publish yesterday's post and it wouldn't save for some reason.  So I refreshed the page thinking that would fix whatever was going on.  Boy was I wrong . . . the post must not have saved at all yesterday. Because now I am left with a blank page.

It is a new day, so I guess it is time for a new post. Apparently yesterday's post was not to be.

A Different Kind of Magnet ~ "I realized that life does not have to be perfect to be pretty good. There are so many bright spots if you expand your view and open up to meet them. I was able to open up to the magnet experiment by acknowledging that there is possibility in every new angle and perspective."


How to be Positive Even If the Doomsayers Tell You to Be Miserable ~ “Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life.
A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.”  – Author unknown
 
Quotes
 
Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. ~ Kahlil Gibran

The template for happiness is to offer goodness to the world for true happiness is achieved when one gives freely of their heart and soul. ~ Micheal Teal

To awaken each morning with a smile brightening my face; to greet the day with reverence for the opportunities it contains; to approach my work with a clean mind; to hold ever before me, even in the doing of little things, the ultimate purpose toward which I am working; to meet men and women with laughter on my lips and love in my heart; to be gentle, kind, and courteous through all the hours; to approach the night with weariness that ever woos sleep and the joy that comes from work well done - this is how I desire to waste wisely my days. ~ Thomas Dekker

I'll Paint You a Rainbow

I'll Paint You A Rainbow

By ~ Grace E. Easley  

I'll paint you a rainbow to hang on the wall, to brighten your heart when the gray shadows fall. On a canvas of joy outlasting the years, with a soft brush of sweetness to dry all your tears. I'll paint you a rainbow with colors of smiles That glow with sincerity over the miles. On a palette of words I will tenderly blend Tones into treasures of sunlight and wind. I'll paint you a rainbow that reaches so wide, Your sights and your sorrows will vanish inside, And deep in the center of each different hue, A memory fashioned especially for you. So lift up your eyes, for suspended above, A rainbow designed by the fingers of love . . . When I first started this blog I posted a lot of quotes and links to blog posts that I liked.  So I thought I'd get back to a bit of that by posting this poem. This post is part of the Ultimate Blog Challenge. I am going to really get this blog going. So I decided I'd join the Challenge. The goal of the challenge is to post 31 posts in the month of January and to get more traffic to my blog and to other blogs. This is post number 21.
