Hi, thanks for stopping by! I’m Jeanne, intrepid daydreamer, sharing my thoughts and experiences about this Happy Life we all seek. Join the discussion, challenge my thoughts, share your wisdom!
There’s nothing new, its all been said so many times before; in every land, in every language, and on every shore.
We’re born to be happy, born for joy, we’re meant to be born free.
What of the pain, and fear, and grief from which we seek blessed relief? What of the greed, and anger? What thief takes away our effort to stay on solid ground? Who steals into our very soul, removes the thing that makes us whole?
And as we make our way through sadness and dismay, what sweet something comes our way and turns our nightness into day?
Could be it’s a simple thought floating on the air, someone’s gentle wish for us to go — and grow — into a place of peace that’s been always waiting there.
Into this place we run, with arms out wide, with eyes alight and hearts on fire, we shed our blight and now aspire to love this highter self we see — our own self that sent the wish for us to know that life is for living, and for giving, and forgiving.
We choose (again) to live in light, and give with love, and forgive us all. We celebrate, with humble joy, our second – or third – or umpteenth – rebirth. Once again we know our worth.
Whole once more, we have a holy day.

Looks like prose on the page, reads like poetry, and touches my soul. The pictures add the icing to the cake.
Wonderful read.

Hi, Karen — Welcome to here, and thank you for your kind words! You move me to raise my glass in a toast to soul-touching
It IS a wonderful renewal, as nature shows us. I loved the photos, too!
Hi, Dot — you say it well, this is a renewal time of year, on so many levels! I wish you all the renewal you can bear, including some good surprises you didn’t know were there
Jeanne…
Your words are so lyrical! It puts a smile on my face just reading them
Each day is filled with opportunities to experience a “holy day.” How many we get to experience has every thing to do with our choices.
Hugs…Kathy
Amen, friend Kathy! I love your smiling, and your knowing all about holy day experiences. Happy holy days to all of us
We ARE always being reborn, aren’t we? Always new truths coming to light. New ribbons of smoke and shadow wending their way through our daily experience. New joys surfacing.
Be well with your joy and light, dearest traveling Jeanne.

Jannie, thank you SO much for the vision of “new ribbons of smoke and shadow wending their way through our daily experience.” What a perfect combination of words to describe the beautiful unexpected! Inspiring words from my most favorite big blue eye
