Wish we were butterflies

This is so beautiful.....

What more could I ask for

Dear day,
You pull me into a cloudy haze,
Warm skys,
Sitting on a stone bench under the Bradford Pear,
Shade dances on my gown,
My eyes gaze deep into a cup of green
Yes I reach for a book
and leave this place,
but not too far
for I still stay in reach of my porcelain tea cup
I could spend forever here
If only the wind would
cease if only for a moment...
-Cheryl Doyle

When sorrows frown
What power can cheer
Or chase away the falling tear
Like Pekoe or Bohea.
What make the old
many young and strong
Like tyson, Congou,
Or, Souchang
-Anonymous, "The Cup for Me"

Polly Making Tea By Florence S. Browne
The china gleams in blue and white,
The twilight hour is swift approaching; Entranced I note with shy delight,
No other callers are approaching. A cup she designates as mine,
With motion of her dainty finger. the kettle boils — oh! drink divine,
In mem’ry shall thy fragrance linger. Her kerchief’s made in style of yore,
Some fairy surely put the hem on. Held sugar such a charm before?
Was e’er such magic in a lemon? She turns away with manner coy,
The firelight shows her beauty clearer; Oh, why is teasing such a joy!
I wish she’d come a little nearer. We sit and sip — the time flies fast,
My cup needs filling — project clever! She comes and I grown bold at last
Say “Darling, make my tea forever!”

Will you share your secrets with me?

An Eager Attitude

Hello Lovelies! I hope you are all doing well. ^^ Can you believe its almost summer?! and Akon at the End of this month??! Crazy right? I'm so excited though!! ^^ I miss you all so much. Im so happy we will all be able to hang out more in the summer. ^^

So... um there is something I want to tell you all... I've been really drifting from God lately... like a lot... Ive been feeling so angry and moody lately. :( I decided not to go to church tonight but instead to stay home and do a bible study. So I read out of a book Dixie gave me a long time ago called, Beautiful in God's Eyes. I never really read the book much cause it was actually written for a married woman. 0.0 lol But any way, I opened the book up and what I turned to was a chapter titled, "An Eager Attitude" the verse of the chapter was Proverbs 31:17 "She girds herself with strength, and strengthens her arms." The whole chapter was about using our time wisely, having a commitment to work hard, and having willingness, motivation, and discipline to work hard an get stuff done. And then she talked about how to achieve these was to, Embrace God's will for your life, stay in God's word, develop a vision, tap into the why, pray for a eager attitude, create a schedule, and to develop a routine. Wahhhh the whole chapter was so amazing its hard to sum it all up. But basically it was exactly what I needed to hear. One of my biggest problems is dealing with how to use my time properly and to its fullest. I have been really slacking, being lazy and not really ever getting stuff done lately like I should be. I've been having such a passive attitude in everything lately it seems... I haven't been motivated at school, at work, or even in my social life, I've just been a blah... and it shows. Because I've had no motivation and disipline I don't make any plans, goals, commitments and I don't have a willingness to do anything. Its funny how fast and easy it is to lose sight of whats really important. :( I've been putting so many other things before God. And because of it all other areas of my life are suffering as well. I'm going to work harder, and use my time more wisely and to the fullest. Im going to try and motivate myself more, discipline myself more, and really work hard towards my goals. I want to be a better Christian, student, employee, daughter, and friend. At the end of the chapter it says this quote which I love because its so true!

All that stands between your goal
And the deeds you hope to do
And the dreams which stir your soul-
Is you!

I'm going to work harder! Love you all so much! Sincerely, Cheryl ^_^
