Colliding thoughts embrace my heart
Caressing touches upon my soul
Holding fast, the memory
Of
Once upon a time
Allowing the image of dreams to come
Then drifting away before I can see
Today is no different than any other day
Only the pieces of the game have changed

The skies are grey, the weather speaks in tones of rain and cold, holding my sunshine hostage. Let's just muse our day away, yes? Feeling a little black and white-ish. Today must be #MonochromeMonday with @Old-Guy-Photos! Let's put up a monochrome or three and call it a day.

Oh winter. You move closer to me, every single day. Look away! For I am not ready to give you a place to stay. I wonder what it will take to keep you far away? - Driving through the backroads of Pennsylvania the other day.

I make it easier for people to leave by making them hate me a little
― Cecelia Ahern, The Book of Tomorrow

When what should I see
But one that was not my own
Dancing in the streets of life
Delight in the moment
Make it yours to keep.

Spring one day, Fall the next. Rain. Maybe snow. Maybe not.

Eventually all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and know everything happens for a reason. ~Albert Schweitzer

Caught in this feeling, igniting
Far and away
A pendulum swings
Back to you
Again

Flowers. There must always be flowers to color my world.

As time goes on
I realize
Just what you mean
To me
And now
Now that you're near
Promise your love
That I've waited to share
And dreams
Of our moments together
Color my world with hope of loving you
by Chicago

I will savor the fragrance of the coming time, the richness of its hue, only to pass it on to the ensuing caretaker and the next, and the next - until we are back where we began. Enjoy and cherish what you have, the grass is not always greener.

The gift of love.
The gift of peace.
The gift of happiness.
May all these be yours at Christmas.

May the joy continue to radiate in your lives,
long after the season is gone, gone, gone.
Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!

Love to all, Denise

We Are The World

There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on
Pretending day-by-day
That someone, somewhere soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
Oh, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
Oh, there's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
