"Can't Take My Eyes Off You"

I would take a hike with my most lightweight versatile sneakers padded with molded arches for support. I would make this trail walks as an adventure with the best stride in my mind. I wouldn't even bring a camera. I would just let my eyes behold  the glorious hues before me. May be I'll take with me a handy recording device so when the words flow that emanates  within of what I'm witnessing, then, that to me is heralding to the most beautiful gift God has given us--Opportunity to commune with Him.

The outdoors in this season is no doubt offers a plethora of tempting Autumn getaways. Find a lodge that invigorates the sullenness, one that relinquishes the deepening shadows and what would ultimately bring you to come back more alive, geared-up with a new artful interpretation of what surrounds you...

"Today is the day that the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it."

"It's A Samsung ATIV One 7..."

Fall Blessings

When it comes to gadgets, tablets or any network technological device, I prone to be in 'low maintenance' or in low key. Honestly, I don't care if majority of the human race owns an I-Phone 4 or 5. I don't like multi-features/applications infused in one device. And I'm not willing to pay every feature that all it does is a utility icon, meaning it would be unwise to own something not maximized to its full capacity.

Tonight this new PC belongs to me. I would have been happy with a 400.00 dollar e-machine. But as they say, it's always better not to wish or expect anything. The virtue of waiting patiently can be very rewarding. That pay-off  was much more than the scale of my expectations.

My old PC was  a refurbished. I was contented with what I can do with it. It lasted me seven productive years. I would have "milked" it for another 6 months but my patience was wearing out especially when I'm networking  with other bloggers & twitters and just loses the connection in the middle of a discourse.. It started going waywardly and for a couple of weeks and Christian or not, that "out of order" issue was obstructing my sensibility.  I've done everything in my power to fix the problem. Only to find out that the only solution is to replace it with a new one.

Thanks to my first-born son who's so adept to computers and knows what I really need. One thing I love about this PC is the keyboard. The size is perfect and you won't hear any sound when you're typing. It has also a touch screen mode option. My son working as a Samsung Sales Consultant, decided to surprise me tonight with one that will help me more engaged, honing& waking up& crafting my writing edges .Certainly, it would be a good push to learn more about photo editing.

This one is hard to beat...especially when it's a gift given on perfect timing from a good-hearted soul, my son Josh.

Psalm 103:4-5 TLB
He surrounds me with loving kindness and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things.

"Capture October Foliage In Your Heart..."

You know how much I love the spectacular falling of leaves ; how they turn like purple blazing stars, bold yellow honeycomb heads, and into stunning orange, red, amber delights--

 a true sight to behold.  It doesn't matter whether you're in Texas, New Jersey, California, Germany or United Kingdom, Fall foliage with its most picturesque colors will remind your heart that God's hands are full of majesty, ones that stretches unbelievable kindness and love that astounds the poetic side of me.

Fall is never a deceptive time. As cool/crisp air makes its way, the magic and beauty of writing also invigorates my literary senses. Sometimes, I feel so overwhelmed, gripped and quelled by my mind that wouldn't let me rest. And that's where music comes in as a very powerful "hook" in my life. It always offer a unique sense of freedom and ease.

But anyway, obscurity is never an element of this season; neither a period of dormancy. It can't be. Won't let other infusion disguise me. I'll stay very close, warm and thankful.


 

Life can be a festival in October. Take Heart as always...Join me in that Faith , Hope & Love.

"Whom Do You Associate Your Real Identity?"

There's that dark side of us that comes visit and lurk and sometimes if we over welcome the visit , life's tour could be an open vacuum for reclusive wandering: who am I really?

And with an array of options to answer that personally, no one could ever guess for an absolute answer; only if you believe that despite of where you've been and how you've been with others leaves you unaccounted for mistaken identity. I guess that's what you get when you've fallen for the wrong idols, dogmas, and philosophies so enticing yet invading and corrupting the good seed of the Word of God in us.

As they say, "that when you lose your identity, you lose your authority" over everything. What's one thing that you have that no matter what happens, it remains unshakable? And that may be what you need to hold on tight and decide whether it is Family, your Education, Your faith in God, Money, Material possessions, your Ego or could be even Obsessively pleasing people. 

We depend on this question ritually. We should always find God's way to go through it for our identity is best lived in His will...  while we can.

Have a Blessed Sunday. 
You Take care...

"FALL" Back In Love...

Today holds another promise...

After feeding my dogs at 7 am, I ushered myself to go to my front yard with my red tanktop with gray house shorts and barefoot.. Everything in the sky seemed so clear, aligned, and vastly in splendor. I wish I have more perfect adjectives and verbs to support how that  first real chill of the season has taken me in the realm of thankfulness and hope.

I, then decided to go for an hour and a half walk and a jog in the park. There, I saw an influx of joggers, runners, walkers. I was hoping I would be the only one celebrating a "fall walk" but that was a wishful thinking and a bit of selfishness on my part.

I am thankful that there are some people like me who have that "pitch or hook" in upholding a healthy balance of exercise. As we grow older, our joints are susceptible to fractures but if we're on our feet doing wholesome activities, the fragility of our bones may be manageable and the flabbiness of the skin may not be as bad. Sitting for hours especially in front of the computer is not advisable. There are always ways to get around things to our advantage without engaging our "butt"to sit awhile...

But always remember, that God is  involved in every detail of our plans & activities. For we can never be quite whole and happy without His guidance. His presence equates joy, peace and love. When you experience His grace, you not only smell the roses, and the aroma of morning coffee but also giving your heart access to other scents of hope. Only God's love can do that.

I keep myself to a schedule that is achievable so not to grow weary and vexed in my spirit. What I'm saying is that, with the Fall/Autumn season with its unfading harvest hues, we could be more mindful, appreciative and fall for it...
Lord, we see your goodness in the beauty of the season and in our day-to-day blessings. Thank you for meeting every need to our love ones with whom we share it.

 Happy Fall Everyone

To my fellow Texans & faith believers, you guys know that we've been blessed

You take care...

"All Of Me"

"Let Your Dreams Guide You"

Any song played in acoustic, violin or piano always leaves me in awe; taking my breath away. Music, definitely, owns my soul anytime, anyplace. It gives me freedom to be where I want to be even for just a moment in time. And it does make my dreams enlightened, enlivened and not encroached with isolation into the deep end. And music is much much more than I could imagine. There's more to the elements or components of a song; it makes you think lovingly and write poignantly with whom your story belongs to: In my case. my life story binds to my dreams, some of them shattered, and a few of them I'm not ready to let go. There is truth to what I've read..."Commit your dreams to God through prayer places your dreams' responsibilities, risks, and rewards into God's hands. Prayer transfers the dream."

So, play and sing along...You'll be surprised how beautiful your tone of voice is. It might reawaken something in you that has been sleeping for sometime. Let it guide you...

Happy Friday the 13th...a very rewarding day
