If your heart is beating
then you are alive!
For as long as there is life in your body
your heart will beat!
BUT … what tune is it beating to?
If it is beating to the song of love
and your soul is singing,
then you aren’t just alive
you are also living your life!
There’s a big difference between the two, my friends!
Are you alive or just living?
I hope and pray that you are living each day with a song in your soul and love in your heart! Doesn’t get any better than that! Not really!
Sending my very best, this Sunday morning in Northwest America, to all of you !
And always with affection,
Penny
The Why About This 
A lovely image and great thoughts Penny.
Thank you my friend, your lovely comments are very much appreciated!
How are you Penny? Great, I know! Have a lovely Christmas dear friend!
Hello Celestine! Yes, you guessed it! And you also a most excellent Christmas dearest friend of mine! xx
Love to you too Penny! Great images enhancing your words here 🙂
Thank you so much! I hope this time of year is being festive and great fun for you! 🙂 xx
I’m feeling the spirit of Christmas & my soul has been singing for quite some time now. I hope I don’t get hit with the winter blues though. The season can be a bit overwhelming too sometimes. I have to remember to breathe & remind myself the reason for the season.
Happy Days…
xo 🙂 🙂 xo
Hi neighbor! Hope your weather has improved and all the festive seasonal activities are going well for you and your family RoSy! I am missing you and my online time a whole bunch! 🙂 xo
Hola fave neighb!
All is well. I had this past week off work & didn’t get much done. But – that’s ok. It was nice to not be on a set schedule. If only I’d won the Mega Millions though…I could be living the non-schedule life every day – LOL
Weather is craptacular with a few ok days in-between. But – that’s winter in the mid-west. Had I won that lottery…
Merry Christmas to you & your loved ones!
xo 🙂 🙂 xo
Hey RoSy! Thank you from all of us! Yeah we bought a few tickets also and discussed all the things we’d do when we won (sigh)! I have noticed your weather is being really really awful! Well I’ll keep buying a ticket each week (just in case) and if I should win I’ll include you (and your family of course) in the jackpot winnings!
Merry Merry Christmas to you and your family, my favorite neighbor, and all around super friend! 🙂 xo
AnElephantCant help loving his life
Although as you know he isn’t too smart
But as he stumbles along
He sings a wee song
And dances to the rhythm of a heart
Yes he does. Doesn’t he? Just one of the many things I love about him! 🙂
Lovely positive post, as always! Loving life and living it to the full, yes indeed, as long as I can – and finding at least three more beautiful things every single day!
Love to you and yours:)
Thank you so much Sally! Much love back to you and your family and friends! xx
