Joy comes in many forms.
And this day has the potential of
being just as grand as
celebrating the beauty in
all that surrounds me.
I must be open to it!

Shelter from the rain
Waiting to feel the warm sun
Finds security
Waiting to feel the warm sun
Finds security
Wrapped among the leaves
She awaits her fulfillment
Bursting forth in bloom

Wishing all a grand weekend of family, friends, food, and fun!!! OH! Don't forget, it's time for the INDY 500!!!

Thanks be to God!!!

Today I join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday. For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live. God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.
Please visit Rebecca at recuerda mi corazon for Haiku My Heart. There is always more beautiful words there to enchant and encourage!!!
Don't the tightly wrapped camellia buds, the unfurling blossoms, and those leathery but glossy leaves thrill you? I have a half dozen camellias in my garden, each different. . . each treasured.
