A feast for your eyes.
A bountiful feast.
A veritable feast.
The word "feast" conjures up good hospitality, great food, an abundance of everything pleasing.
Wouldn't it be great if we looked upon each day as a feast?
Every day taking time to indulge in friendships.
Every day savoring our soul and lightening our spirit.
Every day feeling a deep appreciation for life and love.
Ah, every day...a feast!

ReplyDeleteThank YOU, Kelly...Good to see you around!
ReplyDeleteI like this one. If we all savored each day as a feast - imagine how perfect everything would be - I'm going to try this for one week and see if everyone thinks I'm a complete nut job. :D
ReplyDeleteHappy FF - & thanks for finding me cos I do enjoy a good verse.
Joe, Good luck with your savoring, and let me know how it goes!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this. I needed a little lift this morning. :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad to provide you with one :)
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a good attitude to create a good day, or a good life, is there?
ReplyDeleteYou bet! Thanks for the visit, Sara!
ReplyDeleteIt's all a perception that starts when you wake up in the morning...
ReplyDeleteI like to open my eyes and take in the feast that is the coming day...
The beauty that surrounds me, the health that encompasses our lives, the thankfulness that I feel for being granted another day!

Rachel and Fay,
ReplyDeleteThanks you bunches! Yes, my wife and I had a great anniversary. Brought her flowers to work, and her co-workers said I was making them look bad! (Cuz they would have to bring flowers to THEIR spouses!)
Wonderful... It is amazing how often we forget to enjoy the simple things in life.. It's nice to slow down and feast upon the day
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brooke...that's a refreshing way to look at life!
ReplyDeleteI really like your idea of treating each day as a feast. We should feast on the joys and opportunities of the day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my site.
I should have read this before I started my day today. I think it would have helped me keep my chin up and not complain as much. Just one of those days, you know? :) I'll think of this post tomorrow and start feasting on what that day has to offer.
ReplyDeleteSending you sunshine,
Bonnie
