Gratitude expressed

Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse. ~Henry Van Dyke

Autumn Romance

The days may not be so bright and balmy—yet the quiet and melancholy that linger around them is fraught with glory. Over everything connected with autumn there lingers some golden spell—some unseen influence that penetrates the soul with its mysterious power. ~Northern Advocate

Our Treasures

"We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures." - Thornton Wilder

When you Whisper "More"

“I want to see you.
 Know your voice.
 Recognize you when you
first come 'round the corner.
 Sense your scent when I come
 into a room you've just left.
 Know the lift of your heel,
the glide of your foot.
 Become familiar with the way
 you purse your lips
then let them part,
 just the slightest bit,
when I lean in to your space
and kiss you.
 I want to know the joy
 of how you whisper
 "more”
 ― Rumi
