The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

Remember this--very little is needed to make a joyful life.
It is all in your way of thinking.

Remember this--all the things that we take for granted in our daily lives...things like,
CLEAN...running water,
lights,
refrigerators,
fans, air conditioning (ha!),
toilets...that FLUSH,
homes with doors and windows,
shoes and clothing,
automobiles (even public transportation),
grocery stores,
I could go on an on (but I won't :)
Remember this--we already have so much in our lives to be joyful about...
and...yet...it would take so little to bring so much joy to another child waiting for sponsorship!

There is nothing better to me than the smell of the air when it's raining...DH says you can smell the ozone...okay? Too funny...anyhow...alls I know is that it makes me want to curl up inside and watch old movies or read a good book and just BE LAZY...ya know...be in the moment. Something about hearing the rain on the roof is so soothing...don't you think? Perfectly imperfect...thunder showers on a Saturday afternoon! Hope you are having a WABI SABI Saturday!
Better late than never...because usually I post WABI SABI Saturday...but just didn't find anything inspiring or moving me until I viewed this video this morning...hence...WABI SABI Sunday...
Art Journaling...that is...this video is a great demonstration of my favorite motto for life...BETTER DONE THAN PERFECT...it doesn't get anymore WABI SABI!
Found this wonderful video through another blog that I follow, Comfort Shoes Studios, whose author, Leslie Herger, is generous and passionate about art journaling. You can join Leslie's NING group, Art Journaling to find many more videos, view other artists journal pages, participate in challenges and classes and most importantly, find support from other art journalists who share in this journey.

After posting about Shaun Grove's recent post about the flood's in Nashville, I felt inspired to put together a few of my own "hygiene kits" to pass out to the homeless that I see here in my own home town. Only, I prefer to call them "comfort kits" because I have included a few things to make them a little more comfortable...if at all possible for their current state of living.
The WellSpring Christian Church in Spring Hill, TN collects the following items for their kits:
toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, men’s and women’s deodorant, disposable razors, washcloths, hand sanitizer and gallon ziploc bags to put everything in.
