I dedicate this post to all of you. You bring joy to my soul and spread your love across the world. For this, I thank you. And just like that, these musings are done...and just so you know, although we are throwing glitter around the globe, I can guarantee you that there is still a little left to take us through Christmas. Have a most fabulous day!

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post again and again, I am encouraged by you, for the time you take to visit, comment or even upvote. For all of these reasons, I am eternally grateful. Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people.Some days, it is not as easy to see, how wonderful it really is. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.

We Are The World

There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on
Pretending day-by-day
That someone, somewhere soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
Oh, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
Oh, there's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

Hope your Christmas was as wonderful as your cheerful greeting Denise.

Christmas day has been hot and humid, we had a fine Christmas Eve with family, and Christmas with more family, definitely a time when everyone relaxes, enjoying each others company.

Everyone scuttled home with black clouds rolling over the hills, distant sound of thunder, yes it is raining again. You smell the rain approaching here in Africa after excessively hot days, the rain drops hit the ground bringing a gorgeous smell before it arrives.

!tip

[dswigle]

Simply awesome, Joan! I lived in the desert and in the Western part of the United States where it is hot in winter, so I must say it always felt odd to me to have it so hot in the winter. I was born and raised in New England that has cold winters and warm summers.

It sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. It doesn't get any better than that!

I do love the smell of impending rain in the forest. Have yourself a Happy New Year!

!tip

[joanstewart]

Desert offers a beauty of it's own, one does think of the cooler festive areas having received lovely Christmas cards over the years from overseas.

Recent years dressing table and home in African theme definitely makes more sense.

Rains have been kind to us this year, not so much the electrical storms accompanying keeping us on our toes.
