The human spirit is very important.
It is seen as residing everywhere in each person.
The heart is the home of the spirit.
The spirit moves in the blood, sparkles in the eyes,
shines in the hair, is felt in the touch, rings in the voice,
dances in ones laughter and flows in one’s tear.
Geraldine Flannery
The human spirit is an essential part of each person. It is the mirror of our soul.
Like anything living it needs nourishment and care Take the time to exercise that soul of yours today. Whether it be by walking, reading, praying, listening to music, talking with friends, playing with children, petting animals, or just sitting quietly you can bring ever more goodness, light, strength, happiness, joy, love, and delight into your soul. Whether it be by smiling, laughing, singing, listening, caring, helping, encouraging, cheering, praising, giving, or simply loving you can share every bit of your soul's strength, goodness, light, and joy with the world.

GOOD MORNING !
Remember the joys of simple snow angels in a crystal-white backyard...what a wonder! In these cold winter days that bog us down and make us grouchy it is a joy to see children playing with their sleds and totally ignoring the fact that it is freezing cold outside.
Something happens to us when we grow up and become disillusioned with winter. One of the few people that I know of that thoroughly enjoys winter is my youngest son. He’s no child by any means as he is now 27, but he loves and enjoys all of it.
I on the other hand enjoy hibernating and waiting for spring to come. The little bits and pieces that I collected today are all about nourishing our souls. There really is something to be said for that. If we don’t take the time to feed our souls with some really good stuff they do tend to freeze up just like me on a cold winter day.
I hope you all take the time to nourish your self daily too !
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
There are many fine things which you mean to do some day,
under what you think will be more favorable circumstances.
But the only time that is surely yours is the present,
hence this is the time to speak the word of appreciation and
sympathy, to do the generous deed, to forgive the fault of a
thoughtless friend, to sacrifice self a little more for others.
Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of
mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have
long postponed, and to use your God-given abilities for the
enrichment of some less fortunate fellow traveler.
Today you can make your life . . . significant and worthwhile.
The present is yours to do with it as you will.
Grenville Kleiser
Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
May your day be blessed with a few SMILES
and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !

Maurice is like your son ,he gets all excited if any snow is forecast ,which is rare ,I cant think why because the last substantial amount we had made him very late home due to traffic chaos ,Im like you and want to hibernate ...love Jan xx
Thank You! I've something I've been needing to do and dreading but your bits and pieces spoke to my heart. Will tomorrow be a better time to do it? NO. Each day of dreading only makes my life sad and may even be making matters worse. So off I go to face life with strength in my heart!
First thank you for your prayers and support during my husbands illness. It means so much to me. And the child in me loves Winter too, but to a point...LOL I don't think I have a child in this house that loves it the way I did as a child. Times change! Hope Spring comes soon...we could all come out of hiberation...and move outside...and smell the beautiful smells of the blooming flowers. Hugs and love...

My kids and I absolutely loved snow when they were little, as I did. But winter here mostly means dark overcast days, sometimes not even raining just cloudy and it can be very depressing. I know Spring is coming I can tell outside and I love your entry. Hope your day is going great! Joni
As usual another beautiful quote. Know what you mean. Yesterday the sun was shinning and things appeared better. lol Today the sun was not shinning out but yet warmer than yesterday. lol So ready for spring. God Bless and thanks for sharing, Janie
I love winter. But, in my part of the world it's not like yours. Very inspirational entry...as always.

I think I like all the seasons....they all come with their own type of excitement...except for summer...I don't think I'm excited when it goes from spring to summer. LOL I do like winter b/c I like to hibernate and read and "hide" from the elements...and cook...and it brings so many warm fuzzy feelings of happy times with my family.
