Dancing on a Very Small Island

Happy Day 32

waiting on the day when my thoughts are my own
when this house is my home
and plans are made
when you'll be there for me babe
when you love me all the way
when you take my side in every little firefight
when you hang your things and stay

i'm waiting on the day
when my life on the run
bleaches out in the sun
and shows my age
waiting on the day when that voice comes to say
that it's not wrong what you did
for just a kid
when you'll be there for me babe
when you love me all the way
when you take my side in every little firefight
when you hang your things and stay
i'm waiting on the day

waiting on the day when these words are in stone
when the kids are all grown
and we go dancing
oh can you do it babe?
can you love me all the way?
will you tie me tight in little strands of paradise
will you walk with me before the morning fades

i'm waiting on the day

Clouds of Glory

Happy Day 31

Lying on the tramp, I watched the clouds and felt peace. 

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!

      William Wordsworth

Little Children

Happy Day 30

Today was very happy. Jessica, Lucy and  William met me after my temple shift. William said. "BB you look beautiful". Little children make life so sweet. 

"And He took their little children, one by one, and blessed them, and prayed unto the Father for them."

     3 Nephi 17:21

Sleeping Angel

Happy Day 29

Pure innocence. Pure joy. Pure peace.

Secret Attic Playtime

Happy Day 28

"Sweet childish days that were as long as twenty days are now."

Bringing Sunshine

Happy Day 27

My Menloves are on their way - bringing me some needed Sunshine. Angels flying in from Heaven!  So  Grateful. 

Labor Day

Happy Day 26

Doughnut Falls was beautiful this morning - brisk air, gorgeous forest, changing leaves. I'm grateful for family and a heritage of the ability and desire to work hard. There is great joy in honest labor. 

Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.
