Thought for Today

"Life has loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways and sings,
And children's faces looking up,
Holding wonder like a cup."

~~~~~ Sara Teasdale
(Sadly, the same poet who wrote that joyful, sunny verse later chose to take her own life at the age of 48.)

Thought for Today

"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces up, snow is exhilarating; there is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather."
