Beatitudinous

Count those little blessings!

My backyard apple tree in full bloom! You can’t really count these little blessings, but some will turn into tasty, little yellow apples!

Cherry blossoms—a gift from Toyota to MSU Tollgate Farm, Novi, MI

blessed quietude
open eyes and resting ears
respite from the din

blessed solitude
from distraction, mind is clear
new ideas spin

blessed pulchritude
grace and elegance in here
deeper than the skin

blessed attitude
optimistic, without fear
peace is found within

blessed gratitude
mercy, love and care appear
kindness will come in 

Apple blossoms close up. Here for only few days, and the bumblebees are too busy to be photographed!
