THESE SHOES ARE MADE FOR WALKING

Imagine!
Walking in these shoes
DAY
n
NIGHT
I can't
guess I'm a bit of a tomboy
I would rather have tennis shoes on something
very comfortable
and
enjoyable!

Tomorrow: THE FUTURE
We're Not Supposed
To
See Too Far Ahead
***
It is a mistake to look too far ahead.
Only one link in the chain of
destiny
can be handled at a time.

TWO TEMPLES
A Builder builded a temple,
He wrought it with grace and skill;
Pillars and groins and arches
All fashioned to work his will.
Men said, as they saw its beauty,
"It shall never know decay;
Great is the skill, O Builder!
They fame shall endure for aye."
***
A Mother builded a temple
With loving infinite care
Planning each arch with patience,
Laying each stone with prayer.
None praised her unceasing efforts,
None knew of her wondrous plan,
For the temple the Mother builded
Was unseen by the eyes of man.
***
Gone is the Builder's temple,
Crumpled into the dust;
Low lies each stately pillar,
Food for consuming rust.
But the temple the Mother builded
Will last while the ages roll,
For that beautiful unseen temple
Was a child's immortal soul.

SELF ACCEPTANCE
How we feel about ourselves
Is more important
than how
others feel about us
****
I care not so much
what I am to others
as what I am to myself.
***
I will be rich by myself,
and not by borrowing.
***

A PRAYER
Lord, Let me live like a Regular Man,
With Regular friends and true;
Let me play the game on a Regular plan
And play it that way all through;
***
Let me win or lose with a Regular smile
And never be known to whine,
For that is a Regular Fellow's style
And I want to make it mine!
***
Oh, give me a Regular chance in life,
The same as the rest, I pray,
And give me a Regular girl for wife
To help me along the way;
Let us know the lot of humanity,
Its regular woes and joys,
And raise a Regular family
Of Regular girls and boys!
***
Let me live to a Regular good old age,
With Regular snow-white hair,
Having done my labor and earned my wage
And played my game for fair;
And so at last when the people scan
My face on its peaceful bier,
They'll say, "Well, he was a Regular Man!"
And drop a Regular tear!
***

ZENTANGLE HAND
This last week over at Zentangle with a Twist Social Group that I host the challenge was to zentanlge a hand. You had two option, draw a hand or trace around your own hand. With time being so short so many things all going on at the same time I trace my hands all three of them infact. I am only showing one here now, in a few days you will see the other two. Each one different and special.

DIFFICULT DAYS
Everyone gets their rough day.
No one gets a free ride.
Today so far,
I had a good day.
I got a dial tone.

HAPPINESS
Happiness is like a crystal,
Fair and exquisite and clear,
Broken in million pieces,
Shattered, scattered far and near.
Now and then along life's pathway,
Lo! some shining fragments fall;
But there are so many pieces
No one ever finds them all.
***
You may find a bit of beauty,
Or an honest share of wealth,
While another just beside you
Gathers honor, love or health.
Vain to choose or graps unduly,
Broken is the perfect ball;
And there are so many pieces
No one ever finds them all.
***
Yet the wise as on they journey
Treasure every fragment clear,
Fit them as they may together,
Imaging the shattered sphere,
Learning ever to be thankful,
Though their share of it is small;
For it has so many pieces
No one ever finds them all.
