Every Second Is Precious!: For Dayle's Simple Pleasures Party

This week's Simple Pleasure, a handmade wooden Snowman, evokes a lot of emotion. Here's why:

The wooden Snowman with the happy face makes me sad.

Attached to him is a priceless recipe for love that, if followed, has the capability of changing lives.

A dear person  who is an incredibly talented artist gifted me with Mr. Snowman a few years ago.  It's signed from her and her husband. That's where my sadness originates. That beloved man lost a valiant fight for life in February of this year. He died very young from pancreatic cancer. 

The Snowman will continue to decorate our kitchen for he is now a testimony to the preciousness of life.

We cannot take for granted even one second of any day. So, in addition to Mr. Snowman, each moment of life, itself, is a Simple Pleasure. Every moment we are alive is also a treasure!

Here is Snowman's recipe for love that is attached to a recipe card:

            2 hearts full of love

            2 armsful of gentleness

            2 cups of friendship

            2 cups of joy

            2 big hearts full of forgiveness

            2 minds full of tenderness

Stir daily with happiness, humor, and patience. Serve with warmth, compassion, respect, and loyalty.
