Raking up lifeless brown stalks in the frost ~ filled
garden, I can't help but see images of marigolds, hot~ yellow peppers, and jade~ green zucchini;
I smile, knowing that spring will soon be here.
Do not look at how difficult the road ahead looks ~
How high the pitch of the mountain, how hot the desert sun, how distant the place of rest. You can not see every part of the path, and unseen gifts are ahead along the way .Believe.

Don't Quit
by Edgar Albert Guest
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit - rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns. As everyone of us sometimes learns. And many a fellow turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow - you may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup; and he learned too late when the night came down, how close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - the silver tint of the clouds of doubt, and when you never can tell how close you are, it may be near when it seems afar; so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - it's when things seem worst, you must not quit.
Stay Strong Soar like a Eagle Keep Going Love and Blessings
According to scientists, the bumblebee's body is too heavy and its wing span too small. Aerodynamically, the bumblebee cannot fly. But the bumblebee doesn't know that and it keeps flying.
When you don't know your limitations, you go out and surprise yourself. In hindsight, you wonder if you had any limitations. The only limitations a person has are those that are self-imposed. Don't let education put limitations on you.....Always remember the only thing that is limiting you is yourself... So go out there and Soar!!!! Blessings and Love... Carol Anne..
After many days of wandering in the forest, a young
man who had been driven from his village by his uncle, found the city of the Eagle People. The chief's daughter took pity on the exhausted young man, and shortly after married him.
After a while the old chief gave the young man a cloak of feathers so he could fly like the other eagles. He enjoyed flying far out over the ocean and catching whales for the Eagle people to eat. One day whilst fishing he made the tragic error of grasping a super - natural giant clam, which pulled him beneath the water until only one hand was showing above the waves.
When he did not return, the other eagles searched the forest, mountains and sea. When they saw his hand above the water, they flew down and grasped it , only to be pulled beneath the waves themselves. All of them except the old chief's wife who also had a supernatural powers. When she saw what has happened, she flew out over the water and dragged all of her people back to the safety of the land .
So I said unto you stay positive and SOAR LIKE A EAGLE ...Have a Beautiful Day ! HAPPY TRAILS. FRIEND BLESSINGS
