Offer your services instead of expecting from others. Take the initiative to do what you can to help others. Understand their needs and act swiftly.
Not all plants are exotic beauties, or graceful ballerinas….Some simply grow happily in the sunshine, drinking up the rain, and enjoying life because it is such a joy to do so. They provide diversity for all the woodland creatures, and to those of us who visit, they are there to welcome us as we arrive, and bid us adieu as we leave.
Open up Opportunities by being proactive. Opportunities don’t just come knocking on the foot. Use your enthusiasm and energy to bring good fortune your way.

When you think “I’ve got it” think again, It is so easy to misinterpret the situation and jump to conclusions. Always have a humble attitude and double check to make sure.
Wild Sumac growing plentifully in a nearby green space.
Sumac is a beautiful plant, I tried to grow it once, it is hardy in our area, however it is also very aggressive. I thought it would be nice in an area of the property, but soon had to start digging it out. It grew and grew and grew.. all over… Everywhere!
In other areas of the world Sumac is cultivated and used as a herb, spice, tea, it is considered to have many health benefits as well. From my past experience with it.. I now enjoy it when I go on walks, or come across it in my travels while hiking.. The desire to have it in my personal space, has long gone.
My experience with the Sumac is much like some of my other “encounters/experiences” while progressing along on this road of “life” Some experiences I explored and moved on.. and others I have retained in my “memory bank” and bring out from time to time to reflect on how the experience enriched my life.
Begin your day with appreciation. Welcome each new day with renewed appreciation, and step forward with a feeling of World Peace in your heart.

Always be cheerful, happy and good humored. When you make an effort to be cheerful and happy, you will naturally begin to feel that way.
Treasure each moment in time. Life is a continuation of “NOW” Treasure each and every moment as it comes, so that you can live your life as fully as possible without regrets.

I stood on an old solid wood bridge that spanned this little gurgling waterway.
One direction led past the old homestead, and the other, wandered down into the countryside.
In the moment of my being there, I got to experience both sides, of the ONE body of water as it moved along.. gurgling happily as it tripped over the rocks and valleys of its bed.
Each moment of our lives, we too are captured by the Universe in our daily execution of our daily “living”.
Be thankful to your parents and to your ancestors. You are here today because the “torch of life” has been continuously passed down. always remember to be thankful.

Sometimes, we find ourselves in a place we shouldn’t be. such was the moment when I discovered that the off road trail, was restricted.
My error was discovered on driving unto the road. Easy fix.back on foot, I got a few snaps of this wonderful wonder land.
Enjoy the moment while you wait. things come about when they are meant to happen. think of what you an do for the time being, and don’t rush the outcome.
Discover the JOY of transforming yourself. When you realize how much you have changed for the better, it fills you with true happiness. Strive each day to improve yourself.
