There are so many doors that I’ve come across over the years.. this one is not fancy, it isn’t part of historic site, but it is part of a very welcoming veranda .. on a busy street of a small town where tourist flock in the summer to be near the water. The lawn is always manicured and the flowering shrubs seem to always be in bloom, at least when I have been visiting the town. The chairs are placed so that the owner(s) can sit and watch the world go by.

In today’s busy world where usually everyone is in a hurry, needing to get this done, or get somewhere, I found this little bit of “tranquility” inviting. The door seemed solid, reliable and there to ensure the visitors were welcomed .. either to sit and visit on the veranda or be admitted inside. The house with the pretty veranda, inviting chairs, without the door would be “a blank wall ” .. look … without the door, there is no invitation to come and sit a spell, agree? The door is what makes the “magic”

When was the last time you sat and just watched the world go by. I mean a lazy laid back, sit and simply enjoy the moment… moment? No cell phone, iPad, tablet .. just YOU.. oh ok, maybe an ice cold beverage.

Today’s words of wisdom..

art of silence

The shortcut to progress is to listen with a humble mind. If you are stuck in your own ways you will eventually become bogged down. Let’s remember to be humble, learning what we can from the knowledge, advice and suggestions of others.
