IS TIME RUNNING OUT?
Monkey and Me Oil Painting by Marsha Hammel
OFF THE CUFF Writing
Marsha Hammel’s painting reminds me of my mother saying to me, “why put off tomorrow what you can do today?” Time does seem to escape us. My thoughts…we can seize ‘surprise in happiness’ in the present moment…one day at a time. Whether or not looking into a mirror, happiness comes in some of these many forms: Natural sensations, satisfaction, joy of loving, giving and desire for God. I join the French when it comes to happiness – living a healthy and generous life – I wish you a great life full of happiness!

WEDNESDAY’S BLESSING – Her Quote
“When I think of death, I only regret that I will not be able to see this beautiful country anymore…unless the Indians are right, and my spirit will walk here after I’m gone.

Telling one’s own truth
The mark of beauty and praise
Should be everyone’s aim

Georgia O’Keeffe was 99 years old when she died in 1986, leaving the world with over 2,000 pieces of art…she will always inspire me to write my truth.

Can’t dismiss this passion
walking through weather and terrain
piercing sheer curtain of air
