It's been said that playing in the dirt produces a hormone in the body that brings about health and wellbeing.  Though I am not much of a gardener, I could certainly agree that going outside on a warm spring day and planting something does bring about a sense of calm and satisfaction.  But for the sake of being perfectly honest, my husband planted the Lantana to the left at my request for the benefit of butterflies to come hopefully!  Thanks, honey...

To plant something in the dirt, whether in the ground or in a pot, is exhilarating!!



Dance...Love...Sing
Live!
You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.” 
― William W. Purkey

Whether you are taking a walk, rushing out to grab lunch at work, or sitting on the front porch, you can always find beauty.  But you must have your eyes wide open.  Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder, but you cannot behold it if your eyes are closed.  Open those peepers and see all the world has to give...and then share it!

“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” 
― Anne Frank
