 <\/p>\n

full sun<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

planted\u00a0 in full sun<\/p>\n

brown-eyed girls are still blooming<\/p>\n

little sun flowers<\/p>\n

stand alone on autumn days<\/p>\n

refusing to end the show<\/p>\n

Blessings are<\/h2>\n

Always GOOD NEWS!<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings\u00a0 arrive in my mail box, via\u00a0 telephone, or\u00a0 through my computer.<\/p>\n

Some are financial blessings that I did not know were coming to me.<\/p>\n

I receive awards and sales, for my books, writings and artworks.<\/p>\n

Some days I am invited out to lunch, or simply a walk in the park.<\/p>\n

Blessings come to us all the time if we are open to them.<\/p>\n
