Magic

Moonbeam said… Silently we crept through the deep woods. Unafraid of the stranger, the only danger felt the one brought on by our own imaginations.  In a secret whisper we shared the noises that made us jump, hearts beating faster, eyes wide.  Every turn brought with it a new wonder, a new joy, a new fear.

Friend Moments

Elephant Woman said… Oh this so made me want to sit and think of friend moments. What joy, laughter, longing and yes some sadness my memories bring! Thank-you.

New Season

Moonbeam said… The first game of the baseball season.  The kids keep getting bigger and they seem almost grown yet for a brief second after a great hit, catch, throw or pitch you still get to glimpse the biggest most wonderful smiles on their faces and that special sparkle in their eyes as they check to see if Mom or Dad [...]

Reunions

Moonbeam said… Todays wonder is a work in progress…I was challenged to think in a new way about an old truth.  It is always such a wonderful yet challenging thing to have your beliefs questioned.   I will ponder my way to sleep and write more in the am.  I often have to remind myself that “once the [...]

Siblings

To the outside world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other’s hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time. ~Clara Ortega Moonbeam said… Today my [...]

Healthy Communities

Our future is in good hands!  Today I witnessed a young volunteer, after almost 3 months of work, complete a story and coloring book to encourage childrens awareness of  a healthy community. The story & pictures will support interaction and discussion between generations.  The creativity and appeal of the story as well as the illustrations ended up surpasing all of [...]

Laughter

Moonbeam said… What an incredible day so many happy laughing people and it is a continuation of yesterday when I discovered that although my 13 year old seems all grown up his tickle spots still work.  My son was blessed with a winning smile and the most incredible laugh…it is nice to know that his deep [...]
