“Once I spoke the language of the flowers, Once I understood each word the caterpillar said, Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,And shared a conversation with the housefly in my bed. Once I heard and answered all the questions of the crickets, And joined the crying of each falling dying flake of snow, Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . .How did it go?  How did it go?” ― Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends: The Poems and Drawings of Shel Silverstein

Shei Silverstein's book was a big hit with my children growing up.  We spent many hours in the book throughout the younger days in their lives. Sometimes I look book and wonder where time has gone... it is flying by.   The reality of time is that it passes rather quickly the older you become.

When you feel like you are running out of time, you might try taking a reality check and trying a simple observation:  There is the same amount of minutes and hours in each day.  How are you using your time today that was so different from yesterday.   It is not necessary to feel out of control, but I think social media has captured so much of our time we are forgetting to live and enjoy the days God has gifted to us. 

Try centering yourself and relaxing. FORGET about Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and your cell phone. (yes I realized 70 percent of my followers read this on their cell phone) Try and cut back on social media and you will gain back huge amounts of time.  Social Media is a distraction to your life and to your relationships.

"Be the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing." Luke 10:41-42

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...
