Promise Tableau

A break in the clouds,
sun beams on rain drops.
Brilliant colors
lift winter spirits.
And we remember
the rainbow's promise…


"Happiness doesn't lie in the objects we gather around us.
To find it, all we need to do is open our eyes"

yeah, me and my movies. My goal is to see every decent movie made from now till eternity. That's why I can't watch reruns. I don't have time for that. I wonder if movies are in heaven!!!

I love this quote Barbara but thought it would be difficult to write, but I find you did a wonderful job showing us some very beautiful examples. GL
