Beauty is the odd little man on the corner that, as you pass by one day, offers a flower- probably pilfered from a nearby yard; but you know that doesn't matter. He gives it from the heart. Beauty is the drawings of children covering the front of the fridge. To you, each one a masterpiece. Beauty is finding out for once you were right, but also admitting several times you were wrong. Beauty is fresh sheets on the bed; especially when you can sleep in the next morning. Beauty is finding you are happy- for no particular reason. Beauty is everywhere. Only a Beast could miss seeing it.

Tomorrow could be too late. Please don't wait.

He will also be another angel watching over you and your children from above as he did while "hiding" out in your home for so long!!! Wingster Yes, he did want you to know that and he wanted to be amongst the ones that love him (and he loves) while he ends his journey here and prepares for his new journey elsewhere.

It reminds me evreyday that I have a choice. It also reminds me to do my best to show understanding and compassion as regularly as possible; not just to others, but to me as well. Of course, I still deal with the "Beast" every morning until I have fed it its required coffee!!!! Thanks for sharing this Purple Butterfly!!!! Wingster That legend is one of my favorites!!!

I suppose for me it is seeking a confirmation on what I already know to be true, but I find doubts have crept in. If a sign is recieved it reassures me, but if it is not forthcoming, I don't fall into dispair. Deep down, the truth is always there; with or without a requested sign. Actually, I am blessed with a sign each day as I awake. A feeling of joy greets me in that first moment. It's like, "Wow!, I am still here? Everything and anything is still possible? It's great to be alive!" MIght not last long, but it is always there. So why do I ask for signs? Well, the best way to explain it is consider you really could use a hug. There is no one around to provide that hug, and you can pull a muscle trying to give yourself a hug! :) So, I ask God for a hug. And those hugs? Sometimes I can feel them for days. :) I have to admit to being one of those “sign askers”.
