Smiling for Peace

It's 7:30am. I'm waiting for a friend at a coffee shop. A mother enters, a 2 year old on her shoulder asleep. The baby's eyes open. I smile. He flashes a grin and immediately falls back to sleep. A moment of Peace I will hold all day.

Smile today. At anyone, to everyone, and give the gift of Peace.

Love,
Darlene

A Different Kind of Dance................

There was a young woman from France,
who chose a new seasonal dance.
While others were shopping and hopping and flopping,
their credit scores dropping, their brains all a knocking,
she waltzed with her best pals, her dog and her sweetie,
donated to hungry, the homeless and needy,
sipping tea in a snuggle with a home fire entranced,
she declared that this year, "I will give Peace a chance"!

Peaceful holidays to you!

Love,
Darlene
