Thursday Thoughts
Lilies symbolize rebirth and renewal!
They are one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring,
signifying the end of winter and the start of a new season. ~Unknown~
“Just as the Lily blooms in the midst of adversity,
so too can we find strength and resilience in the
face of life’s challenges.” ~Unknown~

True Confession
My "MUSE"
~~ Music ~~
What
gets me going? What inspires me?
What makes
me want to breathe deeper,
smile
wider, even giggle a little,
then, laugh
out loud . . . alone,
and
break out into a smooth dance step…
with my
broom,
All by
myself
. . . in
the kitchen?
It’s MUSIC!
Soul-stirring
Plain, simple
Spine
tingling
Foot
tapping, head bobbing
from
side to side,
GOOD MUSIC!
