"Desiderata" (Latin: "desired things") is a 1927 prose poem by American writer Max Ehrmann. (the myth that it was from 1692 is incorrect) This is the correct version from the original poem. Some versions have altered the next to last sentence to read "Be Careful" ~ however, the author, Max Ehrmann wrote the line as "Be Cheerful"

So Be Cheerful...........................and have yourself a merry little Christmas now and in the New Year...strive to be happy. ♥

Time Out on the Beautiful Rainbow River

~ the fog lifted and the wonderful sunshine came out and warmed it up to around 74 ~ no wind made the water very calm and serene. So we had lunch outside by the river. The Rainbow River in Florida is still very pristine and gorgeous. Totally lovely day. and p.s. the vegan luncheon was yummy.
