CANVAS OF DIMENSIONS

UPDATE: BUT WHO CARES--GRIN!

DIET NEWS:  Two weeks into my fast. No food. 
5-(chocolate!) Medifast Powdered drinks and 
lots of water each day. Scales read 250, down 
20 pounds. Next 10 pounds go slow. Feel just 
G R E A T...this, my weekly update. 


Our sky this day, one color--
A beautiful blue, cloudless
No white, no grey, almost
Like a broad canvas, on which
An artist 'sees' something more
Than a blue mantle of infinity

 

The Creator of artistry and talent:
God Who will soon brush in a few
Fluffy, puffy rolling foggers in white and  gray
And throw some darker blue at the canvas


I was randomly shooting tree-parts
(Because I LOVE trees, 
like brothers and sisters in Nature.)

And this thought appeared:  God has 
ALREADY placed some colorful designs
of what Only He can make,
These stand tall in our yard
and I just had to 'show' to you:


Oh! How I marvel at the imperfect perfection
Of Palms, which bend with every windy direction!
A couple more 'tall' girls and boys:


In thirty minutes of my pleasure
God allowed me to display here 
Some of His handiwork in 
Design, Arts and Craft and more.
What you cannot see, 
besides the ground--
Is the enthusiastic Gulf breeze.
Since no clouds to push around
It gently caressed the face of...ME!

    BRIAN!
    You, too, Bri! It's Peeps like you who keep me in this blog-world, blogging to express myself, no more.

    INDAY CES!
    Thank you always for your support, and....stuff. I've not been to your blog for a whole day? Or TWO!?
    But am catching you on FB. Maybe that's where I belong, more like one-liners--than dissertations.
    PEACE always...and you know! Oh, Okay...TSUP!--grin!

    Lidj, I believe you 'love' everything ever created. So do I! Because all was created through, with, and in, 'LOVE', by the Greatest Lover.
    PEACE forever, woman!

  9. CLAUDIA!
    I'll float you over one or two Royal Palms...they ARE majestic in appearance. Got 30 more pounds...to go.

    TAMMY!
    Getting nutrients, thanks. How well you put that, instead of saying, "You are doing it ALL WRONG, Steve"
    I moved to Florida 46 years ago (March 1965) and never looked back. (Sometimes looked forward--grin!)

  12. Great news on the weight loss! Stay safe. Are you feeling "light"?
    I love palm trees..they're so strong looking but delicate at the same time. The personify tropical trade winds and exotic destinations.

  13. I gotta say like Ces, be careful. Please research medifast ingredients and be informed. I agree on lots of water though.
