"Imagination is the true magic carpet." ~ Norman Vincent Peale
IMAGINATION. It helps us solve problems and create masterpieces. It's a vehicle for time travel, allowing us to go back into memories and into the future with visions. It can lead us toward growth and success.
It can lead us into misery too. Let's not go there!
Let's use imagination for cultivating health, healing and peace. For fun-making too.
Imagination led me to call the tree* in today's photo: the pom pom palm. Doesn't it look as if it's doing a cheer? We're never too old to be playful.
In fact, George Bernard Shaw said, "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing."
Today, let's find ways to play and reasons to cheer as we envision good things unfolding in our lives.
With love and hope,
Charlene
