Treasures

Today I saw the most awesome picture of a library of 2 rooms in a home, filled with rich color, books, more books, oh and more books, wooden ceiling with oak beams, gorgeous green velvet chair to comfortably curl up in with, you guessed it, a book or two! Visually rich, pleasing, colorful  textured. Just yummy. The thought of all that thought, imagination, research, knowledge and life, on paper, in one place-totally delicious, breathtaking and stimulating. On reflection, I realized that, to me, this is treasure, but what would it be to someone else? Would it be as valuable and pleasing or just something else to dust and take care of? All the collected knowledge and pleasure I would derive from a room like this would not necessarily be the same treasure trove to another. What is treasure to you? What brings you joy and excitement? How do you refill your cup of life? You are special, worthy and have as much right to treasure as any other. Find your treasure today, rejuvenate yo

While watching the fire dance, whistle,move,die, re-spark; I realized- again, that we have to be so careful to keep our batteries recharged and our dreams and goals in front of us. Just as I needed to feed the fire to keep it alive, so we need to feed
