Look Higher!

When surrounded by darkness

And we cannot see in front

Look Higher!

When distressed by others

And happiness is brief

Look Higher!

When discouraged by the way

And all our hope is lost

Look Higher!

We are life

We are joy

We are love

Encouraged

It is impossible not to feel encouraged and hopeful when surrounded by so much love. Yesterday, having a bad day and being tired at work, a colleague offered assistance via another colleague who saw that I was struggling with something, and my manager offered for me to go home early. And then So many kind, wonderful, caring, amazing friends here at WordPress, I can feel the love and care, and it is so much needed and appreciated. And it has definitely encouraged.

So to all my friends, near or far, thank you! You mean the world 💕🌸💕

Thank you

Our company had an awards ceremony this afternoon.

Great celebration of all the fantastic work everyone has done. Recognition of effort. It is wonderful.

In nine years, I have never won anything. Always looking on. I hate to admit, but I always feel a pang. Feeling so happy for my colleagues, but that human nature craves it too. To be recognized. And then I realized, every day, I receive so many kind, thoughtful words of encouragement, friendship, love. From all my friends and readers I have met here on WordPress. None of whom I have met in person, but connected in spirit.

It means so much to me. Thank you! 😊

Encouragement for a new day. Because sometimes we all need encouragement xx

One Drop

A friend (over at Inner Ramblings) sent this song my way with the most wonderful words of encouragement. I love it (the song and the words of encouragement!):

“Music works well for helping to soothe my stirred up mind and aching heart. I’d like to dedicate a song to you and anyone else reading this comment for we are all in this crazy messed up world together and could all use a friend. Enjoy!”

One Drop

I need you, and you need me
Left alone, we will never be who we could be
So take my hand and, don’t forget that
We can do anything togetherOh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just one drop of your love
A single ray of sun
Just one thing to change the world
It’s just you and me
Starting with a dream
And giving it all we’ve got
Only takes one drop
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Only takes one drop
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Only takes one drop
Only takes one drop

Come with me now, look and see how
There’s an ocean overflowing with our hope so
Let’s jump in and, take a swim, it’s
You and me, yeah forever

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just one drop of your love
A single ray of sun
Just one thing to change the world
It’s just you and me
Starting with a dream
And giving it all we’ve got
Only takes one drop
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Only takes one drop
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Only takes one drop
Only takes one drop

I need you, and you need me
We can do anything together

One Life

Embrace your emotion
In all its agony, pain, and glory
Embrace each feeling
Every battle fought
Every struggle lost
Every victory won
For then you know
That you are alive
You feel
You live

Reaching for the Sky

I feel the fear and acknowledge it
For it is felt within my mind and heart
Days will come, and time will pass
I will be led to where my soul
Would lead me to, and I know
That all will be well, closing my
Eyes, I reach for the sky
