Sorry for the pun but I have to wing it this morning! I'll be flying by the seat of my pants.. and there will not be feathers flying everywhere. One of my favorite sights in California is the beautiful Bird of Paradise. One doesn't have to watch the friendly sky's or listen for the morning chirps and tweets for the flock. No, Bird of Paradise is everywhere here on the ground and greatly admired, even in December. It doesn't fly south for the summer and it won't fly up your nose, it has no scent. Enjoy the photo and the chuckle. (click on photo to see details)

To Guide and Warn

" He who thinks and thinks for himself,will always have a thanks; it is no matter whether it be right or wrong, so as it be explicit. If it is right, it will serve as a guide to direct; if wrong, a beacon to warn."

Beautiful High Aspirations

"Far away there in the sunshine are my high aspirations. I may not reach them now, but I can lookup and see their beauty, believe in them, and follow where they lead." Louisa May Alcott

Peaks and Valleys

Two great assets are time and energy. Lifetime Events require both. Mountains of decisions require time and Valleys full of choices require energy. Peace and patience that precedes planning produces profitable "Thoughts from the Heart". Peaceful Peaks and Valleys of patience shall prevail.

What matters Most

Nothing Ever Happens until it happens for the first time. Then we look inside the heart and a need for understanding becomes a quest. It's times like these that provoke the heart searching question, Why? With no experience to compare it to, we seek those who know. For things not seen and things not experienced we then hope. Once revealed it's not hope anymore. The quest for understanding starts with "Thoughts from the Heart" and what matters most.

Shoot for the Moon

One thing you can't do is stare at the sun and daydream, not at length anyway. The moon on the other hand (at times) is available daytime and most nights for daydreaming. Daydreaming can conjure up "Thoughts from the Heart" and set in motions goals to achieve and targets to aim for. Become a daydreaming believer.

If you aim at nothing, you will hit it everytime.

If you don't know where your going, any road will get you there. Shoot for the moon!
