Mood

The text from a friend,

 sharing a poem as a gentle reminder.

" there are days

when the light flickers

and then i remember

i am the light

i go in and

switch it back on 

                        ~power "

" Live in a way that makes you proud.

Keep good company.

Make space for creativity.

Drink good coffee or tea.

Smile on the inside.

Learn from others.

Love well.

Dream.

Repeat."

Gratitude

" Gratitude is a dialysis of sorts.

It flushes the self-pity out of our systems."

                                     ~Max Lucado~

 This morning my spirit is a little discouraged

because I don't have all the answers.

I am out of my comfort zone, and fear and doubt

keep trying to creep in and steal my faith.

So I decided I'd write the alphabet, focusing on this moment, 

and what I am grateful for as I sit in uncertainty.

Chapter

" There is no point spending an entire life

trying to win the love  you didn't feel

when you needed it.

You sometimes just have to let go of an old story

and start your own.

Give yourself some love.

You can't change the past.

You can't change other people.

You can change you though.

You narrate the story.

So start to write a new chapter."

                                                        ~The Comfort Book~

 

Contradictions

My quote for the day...

" Today I can feel anger toward someone & still love them.

I can feel afraid of new experiences, yet move forward through them.

I can survive being hurt without giving up on love.

And I can experience sadness and still be confident

that I will be happy again."

                                                                                 ~Courage to Change~

' Life, for all its agonies...

is exciting & beautiful,

amusing & artful & endearing...

we shall not have this life again.'

Soothing

" When Your seeking answers,

spending time in silence can often be more powerful

than any amount of questioning, searching, or researching.

Soften in and let go of the need to constantly move.

Go for a walk alone to feel fresh air on your face.

Sit quietly with a warm drink in hand.

Allow your mind the time it needs to clear.

There is a space within the silence.

When you give your heart the room it needs to speak,

it will. "

Currently I am:

Reading:  Boundary Boss by Terri Cole

Wondering:  what to bring along on my outing to the farm today.

It's going to be in the 70's. 

I'll be chillin'.

Appreciating: peace and quiet.

Anticipating:  a day of fresh air, and sunshine.

Listening to:  the wind chimes on the front porch.

Feeling:  thankful

Quoting: " When it gets dark enough, you can see the stars."
