Two quotations caught my eye this week and are the first two things.
"There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle."
― Albert Einstein
“I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.”
― Alice Walker, The Color Purple
- Another of life's wonders - the Hot Light was on at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts when I stopped to get some for the crew at work. I might have had one of those hot doughnuts myself. :) Yum.
I hope you weekend is filled with miracles, beauty and wonders. Have a great one!

Albert was a very smart man:)
It is rare to seen any purple in our field. We do have Irises but they are gone now. Sometimes tiny wildflowers will pop up in purple. I hope I never fail to notice them.
You know how to win the troops. We always loved anyone who brought donuts to work, and no, I wasn't a policeman! LOL
Both quotes remind me of the goodness and greatness of our God. btw, I've heard if you eat a KK donut while it's hot it has no calories. :) have a wonderful weekend.
Happy weekend for you too!
I LOVE both of those quotes! Such great words to live by.
What a happy post! I loves both of those quotes!
Lovely quotes. The pictures add more color to them. Einstein's quote made me remember bluesman Willie Dixon's words: "I life the life I love and I love the life I live."
Granny Annie -
He WAS smart! And I think you would notice the purple flowers - you're like that.
Morale was bad this week for some reason - donuts seem to make everything better.
happygirl -
Absolutely. And I like that Krispy Kreme rule. :)
Claudia -
Same to you, Claudia!
Joanne -
Thank you - that's what I aim for.
And I would love some of that chocolate tart you posted about today. Yum.
Lisa -
Thank you, Lisa!
Shyamanga -
Hey - it's good to see you here again. That's a great quote from Willie Dixon, too.
I wish the same for you my dear friend and yes...we must stop to smell the roses/flowers :D
My mom loved the warm Krispy Kreme Donuts.
I am going to believe EVERYTHING is a miracle.
Did I tell you I love your new blog look - just love it. sandie
Believe it or not, I have never read that Alice Walker quote! Nice!
I never knew that Einstein said that! So true. Everything is a miracle, for sure.
Shionge -
Absolutely.
Sandie -
I'm so glad you like it - we tweaked it a bit yesterday. A little more red.
Riot Kitty -
That was spoken by the character in the book Shug Avery. I ran across it yesterday in conjunction with a book I am reading, "An Altar in the World" by Barbara Brown Taylor.
Sparkling Red -
It's kind of looking at life with a cup half full. :)
Nice photos and quotes and that hot sign at Krispy Kreme can lure the dieting out of me!
I was here early Fri am, but the chrome browser wouldn't open the comment page!
I always like Einstien's quotes- I suspose life itself is the ultimate miracle.
I do love my purple flowers! Why do I not remember that line from the Oprah Movie years ago?
I've never had a Krispy Kreme yet- you are so lucky. We get spoiled for fresh goodies at work too- so much better. The croissants just melt in your mouth, prob like a warm Krispy Kreme huh?
Hope your week-end is going well
Sage -
Thank you - and I'm with ya on the dieting thing.
Snaggle -
I'll bet you do have some good things to eat where you work. A hot croissant isn't something I ever see! Yum.
hi lynn, i really enjoyed your photos and the quotes. i do belive that everything is a miracle, too.
thanks for the inspiration today.
big hugs!

p.s. i always appreciate your wonderful comments on my blog, they mean the absolute world!
Betty -
Thank you and I always enjoy your visits and nice comments. Big hugs to you!
That second quote is so true. There is something truly magical about the colour purple and yet I don't often see it, or wear for that matter.
I've never had a KK Donut, and feel I'm really missing out!!
Joe -
There's a Krispy Kreme store in Mesa, Arizona - maybe that's close to your house there?
I love the color purple and am wearing it today. :)
I find it hard to ignore any colours when out walking so I think I'm good with God ;)
There are wild asters blooming all over the place and their pretty purple is such a welcome sight. They're keeping company with the abundance of wild daisies this year. They seem to thrive even more in the heat.
