In the circles of Real Estate, I hear from the downtrodden all too often. We can't afford this house. I'm not making any money in this business. I can't find a buyer. My listing expired. Have you seen the price of gasoline lately? I can't get that loan.
It is all too easy to get wrapped up in negativity. But you know what? Whether you are having a good day today or a not so good day today,
Every Flower Deserves A Drink.
What I mean by that is we all need inspiration from time to time. Even me. A positive message from someone whose opinion or thoughts you value or who just gives you a smile or a laugh, really brightens your day.
Allow inspiration to bring forth from within you the beauty that is you. Do not let others squash your day. Bring all your talents and gifts to bear in the world. Maybe you just needed a little water so you won't be parched on a hot, dusty, and dry day.
Remember to be YOU. That's who you were meant to be. What would a sundial be if it thought it should be in the shade?
I count as blessings all around me who lift hearts. When you are having one of those really good days lift others and give them a drink of water. You'd be amazed how that wilting flower just comes back to life!

Gary,
And each person has some water or light to share...don't hide your gifts under a basket!!! Thanks, Fran
Fran: Yes, we hold our water and light inside to share.
Steve: I have found many strong encouragers here.
Barbara: I tried to pick a good photo.
Liz: I like your thought about an oasis. Boy don't we all need that some days?
Barbara: Aren't second hand compliments wonderful? It's like sunshine spreading around.
Carole: Don't you love the lift, when it comes your way?
Susan: I try. Your thoughts always lift me, because you are so kind.
Brenda: Thanks.
Joan: Who would that be? This is for you.....
Encouraging one another is so important. One thing to remember is that tomorrow is a new day and what a gift that is!
Kathy: You might say that title was divinely inspired and came from the heavens as that thought popped into my head as I was gardening. Maybe it was a message just for YOU : )
Kathy: Flowers just calm me down and make me happy. While an amateur, photography has always been a hobby of mine too.
Jacqueline: We all can use encouragement. Maybe a side business for me, motivational speaker?? : )
Steve: Funny video highlighting smooth Bing's voice. Stay positive. Thanks.
Gary. Indeed we all need a little water so we won't be parched on a hot, dusty, and dry day... What a great post. Thank you
Arina: Your words and humor always are like a little 'water' to me too. Hopefully sharing our thoughts here help us all to blossom just a little more! : )
