notes...
we sit on the dock, kick off our sandals,
& dangle our feet in the water
the sun hides behind the clouds, and
the breeze picks up
the gull finds it difficult to stay
balanced in the rough waters
the minnows swim in schools around our toes
the waves lap at the shore
the bird song echoes in the quietness
and the sailboat passes slowly by....
when you are with someone you trust
completely
you feel free to be yourself
when you are real
it brings out the best in you
relax and enjoy your friendships
a happy heart is good medicine
and a cheerful mind works healing
your heart and mind are intricately
connected
it's impossible to have a happy heart
when your mind is full of negativity
if you are open
sudden change can happen
at anytime
be ready for a miracle
and willing to be surprised
inner turmoil makes it virtually
impossible to enjoy life
or your blessings
forgive
don't be loud
be love
create more good in the world
listen for the truest voices
decorate your life and heart with
compassion, empathy,
generosity, & joy
add a touch of whimsy
love
hope
and patience
are always good accents
as your heart and mind merge together
life tends to lighten up
....maybe it's merely waiting for your
heart to open
so you can witness first hand a truth
only you are destined to see
when you focus on your blessings
life feels abundant
when you focus on what's missing
life feels incomplete
think about the multitude of things
in your life
that are going well
persevere and know that something
amazing could be waiting
right around the corner
keep watching for signs God
places in your path
He doesn't want you
to miss His perfect will
for your life
He provides guidance so you'll
grow in the right direction
you are not your backstory
you are the story writer
be well...
