Hold on... Joyfully.

"this is just the nature of Life,
so I may as well enjoy it"
kind of holding-on.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Holding-on does not have to be a desperate
teeth-gritting kind of holding-on.
Holding-on can be a joyful
"this is just the nature of Life,
so I may as well enjoy it"
kind of holding-on.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

make the most of what you have.
It is later than you think.

I freely release all uncertainty, regret, and fear.
- Mary Anne Radmacher

If you don't enjoy your career,
today is the day to begin a long-term plan

perhaps in your interactions with customers and co-workers.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Look at this butterfly, so beautiful, so delicate.
I can enjoy this butterfly from a distance,
but if I touched her, she would die.

people also need private space and private time
away from the demands of the world -
even away from the attentions of those
with whom they are most bonded.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Our "Rainbows and Butterflies" are the small miracles of our life -
the little things that are so easy to overlook,
yet so awe inspiring when we take a moment
to notice and to pay attention.
Give thanks for the rainbows, for the butterflies,
for all God's creatures - large and small,
for the bright blue sky and the soft fog and the gentle rain,
for the tree veiled in the season's first frost,
for the baby's laugh,
for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I will move with the wind.

This is how I can awaken my mind to the possibilities in the day.
- Mary Anne Radmacher

I don't know, I think it's worth a human life. Don't you?

Create apart from perfection.

Touch excruciatingly.

Care.
Understand you die a little in every moment.
Be Enlivened
