Mad about this guy

in need of guidance

Open my eyes, that I may see 

glimpses of truth thou hast for me; 

place in my hands the wonderful key 

that shall unclasp and set me free. 

Silently now I wait for thee, 

ready, my God, thy will to see. 

Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine! 

Open my ears, that I may hear 

voices of truth thou sendest clear; 

and while the wavenotes fall on my ear, 

everything false will disappear. 

Silently now I wait for thee, 

ready, my God, thy will to see. 

Open my ears, illumine me, Spirit divine! 

Open my mouth, and let me bear 

gladly the warm truth everywhere; 

open my heart and let me prepare 

love with thy children thus to share. 

Silently now I wait for thee, 

ready, my God, thy will to see. 

Open my heart, illumine me, Spirit divine!

The river of God is full of water

You visit the earth and water it, You greatly enrich it; The river of God is full of water; You provide their grain, For so You have prepared it.
You water its ridges abundantly, You settle its furrows; You make it soft with showers, You bless its growth.

You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance.

Trees make me happy 

I love the sky and the clouds

I love looking at water

But trees bridge the gap between heaven and earth

Their arms and fingers reaching up

Their toes digging down deeper and deeper

I want to climb trees and rest in them 

Lounge on a limb

I love trees

With apologies to Sir Mix-A-Lot

I like long legs and I can not lie

You other sisters can't deny

That when a guy walks in with long lean legs

And shoulders like he could fly

Your heart pumps

Wanna slip up close in front

Cuz you notice that

There's something jacked

Bout the feathers he's wearing

I'm hooked and I can't stop staring

Oh, baby I wanna get with ya

And take your picture

each sunrise holds promise

my life has changed

each sunrise holds promise

sharing my thoughts and prayers with another, listening to his 

has opened my heart

the lord has given me more happiness than i thought possible

and still it comes

aging beautifully

Like a lovely magnolia bloom gracefully aging so hope I to unfold gently into my next stage of life. After a month of careful health management and a week of daily hot yoga, I have lost weight, 12" of fat, and tight / stiffness. In turn, I've gained mobility, positive thinking and more excitement in life! The amazing changes in my body as I become more limber and aligned bring a smile to my face as I think on it. What a blessing to me- one that I feel I will continue.
