Imagine......................

The dictionary defines imagine as.............to form a mental image of something not present.  Imagine what the world would be like if Dr Seuss hadn't imagined.....or the Brothers Grimm....or J.R Tolkien.  If Frank Baum had not given us Oz, or if J.K. Rowling had never imagined Harry Potter?  Do you imagine troubles that aren't there?  Do you imagine criticisms that were never spoken.  Do you imagine big dark scary things that lurk around and never materialize.  Why not imagine great accomplishments, or love or hidden riches in your life?  Take that ability you have to imagine and make it work for you.....not against. you.  I imagine that the world is a much better place than we can ever imagine.

  1. I heard a true story the other day about a mother and her dying son. When the time was really close, she got in the bed and layed beside him. Before his last dying breath, he says with a smile... "Oh mom, it was all so easy." Yes, I think the world is a much better place than we can ever imagine!!

    1. And as she heard those words, I wonder if the most horrible day that mom could ever have imagined became somewhat magical? Thanks for the thought.
