You express yourself very well (and as beautifully as your lovely stitching).<br />My soul truly danced after reading your blog as it reminded me to BE THANKFUL for all the things we have. Many things we take for granted. <br />I watched three little Afro American girls nibble on food at McDonald's and I immediately thought of all the billions of children in third world countries who are less fortunate. Thank you for your 'reminder'. <br />C:<br />('Happy2Sew' on Flickr).<br />p.s.

If we can figure out what triggers that feeling of pure joy, how do we make it a larger part of our lives?<br /><br />Children always find a way to play and find joy. In the main, unless we muck with it, they are creatures of joy. In the most devastated, war-blasted landscape, they're there squatting with little more than sticks, dirt, and their imaginations.<br /><br />I've never been able to throw those little chips of hotel soap away. I always save a baggie or something to wrap them up in and bring them home. Hollis (Chatelain) said she uses them to wash paint brushes.<br /><br />There's so much waste in this country. One could buid an empire out of what we throw away.<br /><br />(P.S. My word verification string is "rantiong", which I figure is a combination of "ranting" and "rationing". Appropriate, no?)Warty Mammalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07942793134631438689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-36192973695901198602009-10-18T20:44:56.589-04:002009-10-18T20:44:56.589-04:00There have been so many magical moments in my life...There have been so many magical moments in my life that made me want to dance - the obvious ones when children and grandchildren were born, etc. But the one that stands out in my mind was the first time we helped to build a "casita" for a family in Mexico. At the Blessing of the Home ceremony the smiles and tears of the mother in that family made me want to jump and shout. blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-20864421704455166812009-10-16T23:41:07.385-04:002009-10-16T23:41:07.385-04:00Such a good post.

We never have enough of anything and often put off really living until everything is perfect, except that there is always something else that needs to be done, or acquired. I hope to experience true contentment and dance-in-the-streets joy before I die.

Song and dance are contagious, and spread pleasure and joy. It is wonderful that there are such sources of pleasure, even when poverty is rife and problems abound.persiflagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161607100227748374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-49044779399120125622009-10-14T04:48:49.582-04:002009-10-14T04:48:49.582-04:00I recently 'burst into dance' much to my G...I recently 'burst into dance' much to my Granddauther's embarrassment!

I hate to think t is anything but random. Who knows?<br /><br />I am prone to sudden outbursts of dancing for no apparent reason. It frightens my children, but I do it anyway. Not sure what triggers this, usually just thinking of something nice right when my mood is on the tip of the happiness peak.fifihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946945635726214503noreply@blogger.com
