Imagine It: Uninhibited Flight Through Galaxies

I'm floating, flying through galaxies. Refreshing winds blow
about and support me. Everything is black--no, now there's a puff
of purple, a splash of magenta, and a dash of blue. I pick up
speed. Nothing is impossible as I soar through the stars and
let my imagination run wild.

I spin, dip, and lay on my back as I coast each current that comes
my way. It's all so amazing! I'm released into a state of
euphoria.

Now things are zooming in. I'm hitting the speed of light.
Streaks of magenta and white stream passed me, then blue,
into more sparkling black skies. Now I'm seeing a haze
of gold into more magenta. I slow down. I coast. I float. I'm still.
I pause in awe of the stars and planets as they orbit.

Carefree

I can see her now. A girl of ten dressed in a
fluffy white dress with short sleeves, and a hem
billowing around her knees. Golden blonde curls
frame her joyful little face, then tumble down
around her slender shoulders. Her countenance
is jubilant and liberated.

The day is deliciously good-sunshine warming
sky and earth with its cheerful glow. The rays
of this fiery orb are sheer liquid radiance. Come
away with this young girl and drink of what she
has to offer. Arms lifted high, she runs, skips,
and twirls through a meadow filled with long,
flowing grasses that wave and dance in the balmy
breezes. Her eyes twinkle with peace and
merriment. She has cast her care to the wind. She
is in her own rich, imaginative fairy tale.
She is carefree.

Fine Summer Breezes

Today I am refreshed and renewed with the excitement of a beautiful day. The sun sparkles on and through everything. The temps are in the 80's, and the wind is balmy and refreshing. I love how said wind blows
through my hair as I go about my tasks. Today is a day where I am eager to check the mail or hang out the
laundry. The birds sing and talk to each other as they fly around and go about their chores. They love this
day too, and it shows.

The leaves dance. Everything is so alive, green, and colorful. The peonies nod in agreement, and the iris
sway in unison. How glorious! I feel like my batteries are recharged from the sun. It makes me happy.
I'm eager to soak it all up and get my tan. Summer is pretty much here.

More importantly, however, is the unexplainable joy that the Lord has seen fit to bless me with today.

Time to hang out some more laundry!

How have you been given joy today?

Childlike Wonder

Do you ever pause in complete awe over the little things? I do. It's just who I am.
Here are some things that fascinate me:

~*~Blue skies with fluffy/streaky clouds drifting along.
~*~Sun shining on bubbles so that rainbows dance across their surfaces.
~*~ Rainbows.
~*~ Inky black silhouettes of trees against a golden/peach/orange/hot pink/purple sunset--they
        look like lace. It's breathtaking!
~*~Bubbles in soda pop. When light shines through a clear cup filled with soda all bubbles dancing and
      popping, it looks so luminous and sparkly.
~*~How remarkably soft cats and fuzzy socks are!
~*~How intricate and awesome a newborn baby is.
~*~ How sweet and incredible it is to make someone truly smile or laugh. Pure sunshine.
~*~Good humor.
~*~Creativity
~*~Cartoons--can you fathom how much work goes into them? Amazing!
~*~When tickets get rung up three times in a row with the same total and change, or when a
       ticket comes out even. Bizarre!
~*~Balmy breezes that kiss your face and caress the rest of you.
~*~A dry grin.
~*~Poetry--it's the lace form of words, both intricate and beautiful.
~*~Eyes--they're like jewels.
~*~A sweet temperament.
~*~Gentle music.
~*~A drop of dew on a blade of grass or flower.
