Most of us do not want to blend in with the woodwork. True, many of us don’t want to be on center stage, but we usually don’t want total anonymity, complete oversight, now do we?
We want to be known and acknowledged as an entity meriting value.
People will go to all extremes just to be noticed and recognized simply as a person.“The essence of being different does not lie in externals, but in a different internal reality that cannot but manifest itself.” ~ C. Ringma
I want what’s on the inside to be what makes ‘em stop and look again.
“You are seen as bright lights – stars or beacons shining out clearly in the dark world.”
Phil 2:15Yes, God. May it be so.

Busy days – school, the yard, sewing costumes, chauffeuring the girls, having folks over for dinner, having out-of-town visitors. The days seem too short.
Good stuff.

I thought your writings were great and then saw this yellow flower and can not tell which I like most your words or your flower! LOL What kind of flower is this? Love your thinking about not being lost in the woodwork…..I am expecting guests any minute now and your words have triggered a desire in me to be as Phil 2:15 to my guests rather than how nice the table or food looks. Thank you my friend, it is very good to see you on Xanga since you always inspire me.

You are so sweet. It’s a ranuncula. Have a wonderful time with your friends. You do shine as His light! All the time.
@i_was_there_and_back_again - thank you but we all have our times don’t you think. I call it “our dark side” for lack of a better way of putting it. Ranuncula? Is it an annual? It is stunning.
@Lucy_or_Ethel -
Yes, we all have our days, for sure. It’s a perennial!
Good thoughts. I’ve been thinking about these things too. Pretty flower!
Great thoughts Trish .For me I am happy when I am in peace with myself and the others .
Thanks for your kind comments
