Sophie's Poem

The assignment: to write a 4-line poem in which the first and third and second and fourth lines rhyme, respectively. LOVE what she came up with!

WYOMING
Horses that run wild and free,
under an endless pink sunset.
With coal on a train for a fee,
and cowboys riding broncos without a fret.

Simple Abundance

I have recently decided to re-read Sarah Ban Breathnach's Simple Abundance. I love this book and it really brings in to focus what is important and how to rid myself of things that are weighing me down. In particular, I love taking a moment, at the end of each day, to write down 5 things I am grateful for each day. This simple task forces me to recognize all of the amazing things that happen throughout the day and, in turn, become a more positive person.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow."
