...take a cue from nature and 

allow the day to unfold without rushing.

Blondie and Buddy

Words from a friend that hit me in the feels...
"Welcome back!"

Journaling...

A renewed mind is present focused.

Train your mind to see God in every moment.
A lilting bird song, a loved one's smile,
the morning sunrise.

"Do not allow the cancer of bitterness to continue
in your heart. 
Life is much sweeter when the heart is tender
not tainted."

You don't need to meet every need.

You face nothing alone.
Nothing.

The remedy is simple.
Fix your eyes on what is unseen.

"The Lord will fight for you;
you need only be still."
Exodus 14:14

Let Him sooth you from the inside out.

How ridiculous to grasp for future gifts
when today's is set before you.

Don't edit the extraordinary out of your life.

Do not hesitate to love deeply.

"Love isn't something we do.
It's something we become."

be well...

'Mornings provide that feeling of freshness.
The air smells clean and feels like a new beginning.
Everything is renewed and fresh.
Be present with this feeling.
Nothing else matters at this moment.
Be here now, ready to take on the new day.
Right now is your chance to begin again.
Let go of worries and regrets.
Today you have the gift of a fresh start.'

A ride through the pasture,

breathing in the crisp winter air,

cows lazing in the sunshine chewing their cud,

and the mockingbird who tagged along beside us.

I'm totally a moments girl...

not everything has to be extraordinary to matter.

"Show  gratitude no matter what 

the circumstance."

~Mockingbird~

"Spending time in nature is as close

as we get to a magic pill

for decreasing stress and cortisol."

 

Unbothered

Peace is worth more than being right.

Keep your inner peace.

It's a practice.

"The person who makes you the angriest

is showing you exactly what you haven't

made peace with in yourself."

Journaling...

Simple but not easy.

Let go of the need to control.

Pause.

Keep your inner peace.

Stay calm.

See clearly.

Let it go.

Free to be.

Refuse to waste energy worrying,

and you will have strength to spare.

A Spiritual transaction is acknowledging 

that a higher power is in charge of your life.

The outcome is His.

Lighten your load.

Be relieved from feeling responsible 

for things beyond your control.

Be more sensitive to His Spirit.

"Blessed is the man who listens to me,

watching daily."

Proverbs 8:34

'See problems or possibilities.

Complain or be grateful.

Live in fear or live in faith.

The difference between a heavy heart and 

a peaceful one is perspective.

Gratitude and joy aren't feelings

They're decisions.

You choose.'

"In the end- it's you.

Your heart, your soul,

your energy.

Take care of them.

You matter. Always."

The enchantment of Winter is not missed by me.

"Wherever you are, be all there."

Joy is that intense gratitude for someone of something.

Aligning with your core values.

Inward peace and happiness.

It comes from the inside out.

Journaling....

See things from a heightened, big-picture, perspective.

Meditate on the truth.

Absorb it into your very being.

"When you see faults in others, go a little easier on them.

The same applies to you.

Don't be so hard on yourself when you blow it."

"Faith isn't figuring out what we're able to do.

It's deciding what we're going to do

even if we think we can't."

"Our faith will grow when we regain

a sense of childlike wonder."

If you want a different outcome than what you've 

been seeing, adapt a new strategy.

Focusing on your difficulties intensifies

 & enlarges them.

'Get good counsel for your life,

but don't get head-faked by what 

the peanut gallery has to say.'

" Whatever it is that God made you good at,

do it with gusto like you're serving Him."

Nothing is too difficult for you.

(with God)

Choose gratitude over victimhood.

The biggest fight is with yourself.

Becoming yourself is an amazing adventure.

"Keep showing up;

you're the only you there is."

"No one but you is responsible for your happiness."

"Happiness leaps into existence from a positive attitude to life."

Make sure at the end of the day you are happy.

Life is too short for stress and unhappiness.

Be sure to taste the moment to the full.

be well...

'Remember when you were young and wanted

so badly to grow up?

Challenge yourself to see things through the 

eyes of your younger self.

Remember the hope and possibility you had.

Infuse your day with wonder and see that nothing is 

permanent-and anything is possible.'

" A man at the bottom of a deep well cannot

see anything but darkness and the sky far above him.

He cannot see the surrounding landscape.

He doesn't know what awaits him once

he climbs out of that well."
