Every time you worry...

 

...'you strangle the life out of your life.'

'Personal stress is at record levels.

The highest it's been since World War II.'

The top stressors:

job

health

relationships

poor diet

media overload

lack of sleep

'Keep your mind on good things,

be content in all things,

refuse to worry about anything.

"Worrying about something you cannot change

is worthless.

Worrying about something you can change 

is stupid."

'Worry is learned &

you can unlearn it.'

"We are the only thing God made

that doesn't trust Him."

'It's worry that makes you sick.'

'The only thing that worry changes

is you.'

'You are as happy as you 

choose to be,'

'The battle is between your ears.

What you feed your mind with

will determine the level of stress

in your life.'

"Mind pollution is the most 

serious pollution.'

"Some people are so open minded

their brains fall out."

"If you look at the world, 

you'll be distressed.

If you look within,

you'll be depressed.

If you look at God, 

you'll be at rest."

~Corrie ten Boom~

Be intentional...

...about where you're putting your 

energy & what you are

growing in your life. 

Otherwise, distractions will pop up & steal

your focus, taking away from the most

important things.

They may be small things, but awareness of the 

moments remind you of the bigger things.

notes...

packing up my morning routine and heading

to the farm. I'll finish there while

Hubby sprays.

every sunrise gives you another blank

sheet of paper & invites you to fill it up

with things that make you come alive

focus on love

let go of your compulsion to "fix" everything

breathe and refresh yourself in God's loving Presence

meditate and learning to guide your thoughts

can change your life

your thoughts are the most powerful 

tool you have

truly believe in yourself

and how much you want

to better other peoples lives

no limiting beliefs holding you back

your truth will be your truth 

as long as you choose to think it

the moment you begin to believe in 

the not-yet-seen

your reality will begin to shift

forget the flashy stuff

be engaged in your faith

friends family and nature

slow down to reflect on what's true

seek peace in daily life

it starts right here

in the present

it's here for you now

plenty can happen when you pay a little more

attention to the moment you're in

be well...

"You might, perhaps, give up on yourself,

but would you so easily give up on others in your life

you care deeply about?

And might that be the secret to sustaining hope--

each of us being another's hope?

I will not give up on you if you will not 

give up on me." 

"Nothing lasts forever, although you can seriously

underestimate how long it will last in the meantime."

"Hope is not a plan, but without hope,

nothing else is a plan either."

Blondie's walk...

....from one end of the farm

where she was sorted out from her herd...

(Buddy's happy to see sissy)

 

(Blondie followed by Buddy)

...back home.

 Where she will stay, 

and enjoy living her life

out on the farm.

It's a very happy day.

be well...

"Farm animals feel pleasure and sadness, excitement.

They are far more intelligent than we ever imagined."

Thank you hubby!

Pause worrying...

...about what you "should" be doing

or what your missing out on,

or what other's think.

Be happy being your true you.

In the moment.

In the middle of where you are.

notes...

...a nest was laying on the ground, so I placed it 

back in the bush...

I wish I could buy them all a house.

I hear Otis howling...💕

approach each new day 

looking for treasures 

along the way

tap into what brings you true joy

it means something

and usually represents

the biggest & best version

of yourself

do not doubt your worth

your life is important

you are the only you there is

pray

investigate

plan

prepare

and follow the steps as they unfold

if your learning to be "right"

instead of learning to love

you've missed the lesson

give yourself a break from 

comparison

don't try to measure up 

to unfair expectations

sit quietly

be patient

wait to hear from your

inner guidance

you have all the answers you need

you just need to give them the chance

to get through to you

"God's love isn't as complicated as our

discussions about it are.

Keep it simple.

Love everybody, always."

be well...

"Our hearts speak volumes. We can learn and grow

from intuitive clues if we know how to listen

in stillness.

Intuition gives signs as to how we can fulfill our

desires and take the necessary actions to make

our dreams come true.

To find your intuition, take some time to sit in silence.

While sitting in silence, listen to what your

heart has to say.

It may take practice, but in time you will

recognize your inner voice."

"Sometimes we don't know what we want,

and we blame our unhappiness

on someone who doesn't know,

either."

"Things work out best for those who 

make the best of how things work out."
