May all your ‘DREAMS’
have colorful stars
to take you
on a flight
of peaceful tranquility.
For tonight
is dark
but in the morning
light rises anew.

Beethoven’s Silence – A soothing piano melody
I hope your weather has been good. Do leave from where yo’ure visiting in the comments; if you leave a comment. We’ve had glorious 70’s during the day and 50’s at night.
The cooler weather has been wonderful for walks. I’ve been having a fun time with my new fit bit. I hadn’t been a watch wearer for the longest time. Retirement will do that. No need to wear one since there aren’t any kids to pick up or drop off anywhere. But … a fit bit is different. It was a gift for Christmas from my hubby after a recent surgery. Oh, you missed it, read here. This little gadget monitors my heartbeat, sleep patterns along with oxygen levels, stairs climbed, steps walked, my stress level, it reminds me to get up and move if I’ve been sitting too long, it tells me to take a moment to meditate if I’m stressed, it buzzes when an email comes in, gives me the time and the outdoor temperature. This is a computer on your wrist. I wasn’t thrilled with being told by a watch what I should be doing but I have to admit it has kept me moving. I suppose it has a purpose. 
If you have a new gadget that helps you keep fit, let me hear about it?
While on my morning walk, I came across a tiny little bunny.
He had a fluffy white tale but ran off too quickly for me to capture it.
My Christmas cactus hadn’t bloomed in December.
Surprise …. here are the flowers. Okay, a bit late but still beautiful.
I’ve been participating in musicals at A Frank Angle for sometime. He’s hosting a new musical series with ‘The Beatles’. Unfortunately, I was out of the country when they hit the states in the BIG WAY they did. Over-the-years, I’ve grown to love them.
If you love music … AND … The Beatles – aFrank is hosting the aFa Concert Series. To join in click here – you’ll have a blast reminiscing with all the mop top boys’ tunes. Below are two songs from the musical this past weekend.
Have a Great Week …!!!
Enjoy … Isadora

Smile – After all – tomorrow is another day
After all, tomorrow is another day
When you feel so weak
And things look bleak
Tomorrow is another day
When you’re so blue
And don’t know what to do
Tomorrow is another day
When things go wrong
And you don’t feel strong
Tomorrow is another day
When your body says, “No”
But you don’t want to let go
Tomorrow is another day
When the sun starts to set
And fear the day is gone, be strong,
After all, tomorrow is another day

Friday Fictioneers – Headline News
The dome street lights cast a shadow across the isolated road.
Parking near a light, he props his law book on the steering wheel and begins reading. In two days, he’ll take his finals. Could his days on the street soon be over?
His radio blares a call about shots fired.
He turns the red and blue flashing lights on as he makes his way to the location.
Speed spurs him into the adrenaline cave.
These calls never end well. Shootings are headline news.
“The coroners arrived and left,” Ronald tells me.

Depression is an illness that impacts the brain. It’s a real illness hidden for too long.
Anyone suffering from depression will tell you, it’s not imaginary or “all in your head.”
Depression is more than just feeling “down.”
It is a serious illness caused by changes in brain chemistry.
Research tells us that other factors contribute to the onset of depression, including genetics, changes in hormone levels, certain medical conditions, stress, grief or difficult life circumstances.
Any of these factors alone or in combination can precipitate changes in brain chemistry that lead to depression’s many symptoms.

A Peaceful Sanctuary
‘La Popa’ Church Courtyard – Cartagena, Colombia
Bright azure skies,
crimson flowers.
A peaceful spot
to sit for
hours and hours.
Soft, muted moments
to gather calm,
in restful simplicity.
An unobtrusive sanctuary,
on a summer afternoon.
A painting
for our eyes
to glimpse upon.

Sunday Song – Don’t Lose Heart
As we walk this journey we call life, there are bound to be rocky roads.
Paths paved in stones of different shapes and sizes that cause us to stumble and fall.
These create suffering, heartache and pain.
At times, the rough terrain is difficult. But, we can polish the rocks smoothly if we believe in ourselves to carry on.
Its up to us to creatively approach our problems. We need to grind our own collection of rocks into precious gems.
Don’t lose heart as you continue to walk your path.
We can grind these rocks into polished brilliant stones.
