A cry signals life
A bawling child evokes love
A howl can give hope

You are so right, Windy,
Think positive and the whole world is an orchestra.
Yup, counting down to 2018 🙂
Luv and hugz,

Great vistas open
The power of youthful dreams

Hello Ian,
In a sense, you’re right, some things pose great challenges.
But like the beautiful stories you share on your blog, with age, one also sees blooms everywhere: in the beauty of simple things once overlooked in the hurried blur of life; and with acceptance and coming to terms with things that once piqued and pricked.
The mirror we hold up reveals much – and your mirror, Ian, always pleases.
Buffet of choices
Daily we see light and dark
Each promises much

Hello Jane,
The heavier the crown, the deeper I have to bow. Humility, a valued prize.
Thank you 🙂
Eric
There are so many colors to choose from. Hurray!
Buffet of colours
Stack them high, leave most behind

Yes. beautiful blooms. I’m not sure I choose but do decide to investigate surprises.
What secrets it hides

A child’s adventure it’s not

Hello Ina,
Your comment brought to mind an old post.
Cheers!
Sound, noise or music – they are interchangeable depending on your mood and environment. If we stay positive, all will be music to our ears.
Have a great new year countdown, Eric.

It’s harder to keep the bloom blooming as you advance in age Eric. 🙂 Great thought though.
