Living for today,
Jumping out of bed,
I recall the words,
Sweet Melinda said:
"Don't sleep the day away,
You only need 8 hours,
You need to get outside,
to stop to smell the flowers,
growing in your garden,
or somewhere
d
o
w
n
the road.
Don't lay there like a lizard,
or a grumpy toad!"
That is what she told me,
many years, ago,
Well chosen words of wisdom,
from her gypsy soul,
for we must
s
t
e
p
outside,
if we want to view and see,
Mother Nature's show,
of peace and harmony,
if we want to be a part,
or our holy destiny,
that's beating in the heart,
of all we're bound to be.

I like your inclusion of the lizard and the toad. It makes it very colorful!

Sound advice...but a little difficult for a lazy lizzard such as me to follow, especially at this time of year. When all I wish to do is curl up and hibernate.
I think we tend to take for granted what we have without realising its true beauty...we never actually take the time to just stop and truly see what is before us. This is beautiful baby...love the ending.
Love you Chelle xxx
