WEDNESDAY’S BLESSING

Who is the lover of your soul?

O, let it not be this crumbling world

Let it not be your past that cannot be changed.

Rather, share your humanity that is made in God’s likeness,

Rather, accept everyone where they are at now with love and charity

then

Who you are is what God intended you to be.

Who is the lover of your soul?

LOVE YOURSELF

Sitting Pretty – Serigraph Painting by Patricia Govezensky

I love Patricia’s art because of her flamboyant expressions of being an unabashed woman, and because of her style, am able to extract the resilience and joviality painted in her subjects.

Embrace the unforeseen

Toss out all life’s ironies

Bask in tranquility

NATURE’S CANDY

OFF THE CUFF Writing

How amazing are the simple things of life to remind me of an earlier happy encounter that funnily turned sour.  I recall a time when neighbors gave mother a crate full of cherries from their tree.  So we decided to remove the pits to make sweet bread and pies.  We dove into the crate eating more than we pitted.  Then I suddenly saw a tiny worm squiggle out.  By that time, we had eaten  a lot of them – yikes!  I quickly spit it out of my mouth and that was the end of our baking with cherries that day.  Luckily, we didn’t get sick.

I still get my fill of these sweet in-season picks.  Besides, do you know they provide deep inducing melatonin and also calm muscle and joint pain?  Go ahead, have a few bowls of these delectable cherries!
