A warm hello~ Summer has definitely arrived where I live. The days are hot and the nights are warm. I have written a brand new poem and have a beautiful painting to share with you. The poem is called "Seasons of My Life". I invite you to have a look.

Deja Vu or Maybe New ~ I wrote "Miracle" when my heart was burdened for a friend. I hope you will find some encouragement in the words of this poem. "Solitary Walk" has a beautiful watercolor of Old Savannah and is about one of those carefree days when we just decide to take a stroll. Enjoy!

Note from Karen ~It's good to know that some things never change. I'm sure most of us are ready for the comfort of a summer's evening when we can sit out under the stars and enjoy the company of others or just our own solitude. I hope you'll take some time to enjoy the beauty around you. I know I can get so busy or preoccupied I forget to notice. I think we can all use some of the sunshine this change of season brings. ~ My sincere appreciation to those of you who take a moment to sign my guestbook when you visit Lasting Light. It remains a labor of love, and your encouragement means so much. Thanks for sharing this journey with me. Until next time...Shine on...Karen

Quotes ~
He stood beside a cottage lone Dirty hands, iced tea, garden fragrances thick in the air and a blanket of color before me, who could ask for more? For him in vain the envious season roll It's the friends you can call at four in the morning that matter. A friend understands even when your thoughts aren't fitting into words. Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life. People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost. The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BE WELL, BE SAFE, AND SEE YOU SOON........HUGS.....KAREN
