FRIDAY CHEER :)

It’s here
It’s finally arrived
We’re breathing, we’re alive
So make the day great
Don’t wait
Don’t waste a God given moment
to share a smile
Make this day worthwhile
Enjoy nature’s beauty
If you have the chance
Grab a hand and do a
Happy dance
Be friendly
Be generous

Be charming

You’ll feel stupendous
It won’t be alarming
Look forward to
the coming

days of leisure
Do whatever may be
your favorite pleasure
Don’t think
Don’t ponder
So much is waiting
over yonder
Here’s a wish for a Friday
that’s Grand
A blessing from me,
that’s firsthand
If you do this
then I will proclaim
to do the very same!

ONE STEP CLOSER -An Inspirational Acrostic Poem

Overcoming our fears that attempt to control us, if we permit them

Navigating our well-planned itineraries and giving ourselves encouragement

Examining our individual expectations, to evade unnecessary pressure

Staying focused and not allowing our visions to become clouded

Turning our negativity into optimism; energizing our minds

Embracing what we “can do” instead of dwelling on what we “can’t”

Praying for God’s Grace and continual Guidance throughout our journeys

Combining our dreams with reality and stretching our thought abilities

Leaving our failed attempts buried in the forgiving past

Opening our eyes to new, plausible and stimulating opportunities

Supporting ourselves to avoid preventable disappointments

Edging towards our much anticipated, thrilling finish lines

Remembering to view the cup half full; half empty will only deter us~

This isn’t to inspire only for the New Year,
but,  for “forever.”

Blessings to you all~

Ringing in 2012!

It’s no surprise 365 days
have come and gone
in the blink of an eye
We wonder and ponder over time spent
and how it went so fast
Some days passed at a snail’s pace
but we seem to race the clock
on the good ‘ol days

If you believe in resolutions,
though, this is no substitution,
Let’s write a new creed…
Enjoy each day to its fullest
not thinking about tomorrow
Don’t borrow the future
Embrace the present
and repent, if you must
Learn to trust more often
Allow a new door to open
and relationships to deepen

Of course, this is a recurring creed,
yet, it fits for each year,
Don’t you agree?
So, let’s try again, My Friends,
with champagne, clinking glasses
and celebrations in the masses
No matter your new goal
Let the New Year roll in
with Smiles, Aspirations,
Hope and Inspiration~

Cheers and Happy New Year, Everyone!

Magical News

Hello Everyone,

On November 30th, I reposted “Misty” because I
was feeling overwhelmed from a heavy weight on my family’s shoulders.
We’ve recently received the wonderful news that what we were fearing,
isn’t going to occur.  Not only do we feel “lighter” but we are extremely grateful
for this news, especially during this joyful season.
I want to thank you all for your prayers and positive thoughts.
You’ll never know just how much they meant…
Today, I have no new poem, however,
I believe this calls for the repost of “Elation”
from December 11th~

I wish you all a very magical Friday!
Lauren

Singing with the birds
outside the window
Belting out the words
in the acoustical shower
in or out of tune

Dancing barefoot
on the blanket of grass
Flying beside the butterflies
Humming with the buzz
of the bumble bees

Floating with the stars
Riding the Milky Way to Mars
Swinging on the moon
from one crescent
to the next

What a world of bliss
if we could all experience
this magical happiness

TGIF :)

This is not meant to be
  a true work of art
I’m simply sending wishes
straight from my heart

For a wonderful day today
I’m so glad it’s Friday
It took forever to arrive
but glad it came anyway

So make it the best day
Smile to people you pass
Open a door for an elderly person
Move a little slower and not so fast

Just around the corner
is the much awaited weekend
Enjoy your time with family
and many treasured friends!

HAPPY FRIDAY TO YOU ALL! 🙂

Lauren
