And, it was from this friendship that we first met his wife. She was a woman who didn't hold to false pretenses, a woman who gave freely of her warmth, a woman who extended her own personality to be inviting and gracious.
Their home together was a growing reflection of what they both wanted having started with a house that needed a lot of tender loving care. A house that became a home, a lovely home where flowers adorned her garden painstakingly planted with his help.

Essayistic writing is an osmotic process wherein a person intuitively absorbs information and ideas, allows inchoate thoughts to gestate in the unconscious mind, and then consciously places the emergent strands of language and logic into an orderly and expressive format. Sure it is a lot of work but there are so many amazing benefits from that experience that I believe that making sincere appreciation for everything in our life is a critical element to a SMART life. I have had the privilege in my life to be a part of several communities that provided service to others. Every single time I participate I am reminded that by giving I receive so much more than I offer.
It's so important to remember -- especially those times when I'm feeling blue -- that by helping others I am the one who is most served. Quite a few articles I wrote and researched this year proved that human perception is very individual. What we see, remember and think about is based upon our personal worldviews and biases.
Reflection Of Life - Inspirational Words of Wisdom
On the other hand we are meaning-seeking beings that will weave a story out of any experience that happens in our life based upon those perceptions. If we can accept that as true -- then why on Earth would we live with stories that did not make us happy, fulfilled and at peace? So those are a few of my reflections as draws to an end.
