O the JOY of ANTICIPATION,,,, the excitement of waiting to see what life is going to come up with next, to see what’s going to happen on the next page.

WHAT HAPPENS “IN BETWEEN” HELLO AND GOODBYE IS IMPORTANT

Chuck Lee

The older I get, the harder it is to say goodbye to the people I love. Yet I try to be realistic. Time may last forever but LIfe does not. All we have to work with and enjoy is “in between” HELLO and GOODBYE. It’s what we do with the “in between” that counts and where our focus should be. It’s the “in between” that makes us feel fortunate to have had the OPPORTUNITY to LOVE someone who is hard to say GOODBYE to. Though the distance  “in between” may be close or far away, OPPORTUNITY allows us to DO … Continue reading WHAT HAPPENS “IN BETWEEN” HELLO AND GOODBYE IS IMPORTANT

TO CONTRIBUTE OR NOT CONTRIBUTE TO LIFE?

Chuck Lee

I know I’m not REQUIRED to contribute, but as I meander down the winding path of LIFE, I can’t help but wonder if I have made a CONTRIBUTION. LIFE has given me so much. Have I given anything back? It has been said that “we make a life by what we give.” I can’t help but wonder what kind of LIFE I have made. What have I GIVEN? It’s also been said that ”the quality of your life is determined by the quality of your CONTRIBUTION.” I wonder what the quality of my life is. Still another has said that … Continue reading TO CONTRIBUTE OR NOT CONTRIBUTE TO LIFE?

DISCOVERING THE SWEETNESS OF LIFE

Chuck Lee

Early I arose as dawn kissed the morning dew, and on my patio with coffee in hand, I noticed a flash of rainbow lightening, a glimpse of invisible iridescent wings darting and diving from flower to flower. What a treat to start my day, observing a dancing, dazzling hummingbird that had fortuitously come my way. As I watched this wonder of nature, dozens of words flashed through my mind that seemed to capture what I saw the hummingbird doing…. words like darting, dashing, discovering, and finally drinking a flower’s sweet nectar, then dashing off to another. Oh, that my day … Continue reading DISCOVERING THE SWEETNESS OF LIFE

And what is DISCIPLINE? SIMPY … Continue reading THE BEST WAY TO REFLECT YOUR TRUE SELF
