"Life is like a Ferris wheel.

One minute you’re on top,

the next you’re at the bottom.

Just stay in your seat,

enjoy the ride,

and hang on until you reach the top again."

- Susan Gale

It's time for me to end my Sunday Sundries posts. Instead of being enjoyable, it has become a chore. It's been a fun ride, but it's time to move on to another adventure.

"Joy comes in the morning"

Psalm 30:5

Sunday Sundries - Edition 63

For flowers that bloom about our feet,

Father, we thank Thee;

For tender grass so fresh and sweet,

Father, we thank Thee.

For the song of bird and hum of bee,

For all things fair we hear or see,

Father in heaven, we thank Thee.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

A sensitive plant in a garden grew,

And the young winds fed it with silver dew,

And it opened it's fan-like leaves to the light,

and closed them beneath the kisses of night.

~ Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant," 1820

Flowering Spruge (Euphorbia Corollata)

"Black Bird"

What delights us in the spring is

more a sensation than an appearance,

more a hope than any visible reality.

There is something in the softness of the air,

in the lengthening of the days,

in the very sounds and odors of the sweet time,

that caresses us and consoles us

after the rigorous weeks of winter.

~Philip Gilbert Hamerton

Living in that childish wonder is a most beautiful feeling - I can so well remember it.

There was always something more - behind and beyond everything - to me,

the golden spectacles were very, very big.

"The trail is the thing, not the end of the trail.

Travel too fast, and you miss all you are traveling for."

~ Louis L'Amour

I've decided to change my approach to Sunday Sundries. Each week on Monday I'll be choosing a quote and during the week looking for a way to illustrate it. I've been doing the opposite finding an image I want to share and then finding an appropriate quote. This will make the post a little more challenging for me and right now I need a challenge!

"For where two or three are gathered together

in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
