“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.” —Henry David Thoreau
Eyes see beyond sight,
Imagining what can be,
Unveiling the future,
Like waves upon the sea.
Dreams float in my mind,
Hope whispers soft and near,
With each little step,
I can face all my fears.
In moments of chance, serendipity illuminates unexpected paths, leading us to genuine joy & connection.
In the springtime breeze,
Fragrance of cherry blooms,
Delicate whispers,
Nature’s gentle embrace found,
Moments linger, softly held.
“It’s not the will to win that matters—everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.” —Paul Bryant
Their fragrance so sweet, a soft tease,
Brings forth smiles and whispers with ease.
In gardens adorned,
Where dreams are reborn,
Nature’s beauty is sure to appease.

The magician scoffed
And she disappeared in smoke
Never seen again.
Magic words never said again
To live in peace and not mocked.

Cooking Tip
Soak peeled, sliced potatoes in water for 1 hour before baking to achieve maximum crispiness. Soaking the potatoes makes them more rigid by removing the excess starch
In a town where the folks found it boring,
They danced to the sound of their snoring.
With a yawn and a sigh,
They waved dreams goodbye,
And entertained thoughts that were soaring!
