Lesson from a Cardinal.
You stand out so bright and beautiful and bold.
Do you realize the joy you bring to the cold?
You teach us life lessons without even trying.
May we be bright lights without even trying.
Help us to see
how easy it can be.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Outdoor Pots 50% off – Soergels, Wexford, PA
Upside down…
Why?…
when “outdoor pots”
are half off
in the middle of winter…
do I admire
and not buy?
Yet four months later…
I must have,
but that darn sale
is over!
Cheers & Hugs,

No Regrets Abstract Watercolor
Never regret a day in your life.
Good days give happiness.
Bad days give experience.
Worst days give lessons.
Best days give memories.

Reflections from the River
Still water grows stagnant…
keep moving.
Enjoy the journey…
it’s not always about the destination.
A single rock thrown…
can cause a ripple effect far beyond its initial target.
Sometimes what is reflected back from us…
is bigger and better than we are – so shine on.
It is hard work to traverse against the current…
but it is possible, and it is often worth it.
Hubby and I took a little boat ride Friday evening down the Kiskiminetas River – a peaceful little body of water that flows into the Allegheny River near Pittsburgh, PA. With the sweet scent of honeysuckle still in my nose, I’ve been reflecting on the many lessons we can learn from the river. Nature has so much to teach us if only we take the time to listen.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
