You will...

...get on in this world when

you get up and look for 

the circumstances you want.

...a little something from Price

If you can't find them, create them.

If you have the gift of today, 

you've got another another chance to 

make your life as perfect as it is possible

to do with what you have.

"Bloom where you're planted."

'Today, you get another chance to get it as

right as you can make it.'

notes...

I am usually back home in N.Y this time 

of year. 

I missed being with Dad for Father's day.

My devotionals all themed around "Letting go of attachment"

this morning, 

and I felt the pang.

It's chilly so I opened all the windows

and put my hoodie on.

Tai Chi was changed to Wednesday this week.

The house looks like a bomb went off...

I accept the fact that I do need a pantry.

(alias...emergency tornado shelter as mentioned yesterday).

 I will affectionately clean this mess up

and declare it as my "seasonal pantry workout".

cultivate faithfulness

over worry

it requires strenuous effort

on your part

your security is not anything

you could possess

your spiritual well-being is

far more important

than anything material

check your thinking

perspective matters

see how things work out

God always points you

to a better version 

of yourself

foster relationships with

positive people

love attracts love

there is hope for a beautiful future

if you want it

you gain clarity in the challenges

by understanding the overarching

storyline of your life

who you are is more important

than what you've done

let go of distractions

both past & present

let go of grasping for outcome

remember that everything you have

is a gift from above

including each breath you breathe

fill your life with

focus on the true plot

that will link everything together

*love*

be well...

xoxo

"For fruit to grow, the soil needs to be fertile

and water plentiful.

During the growth and ripening season,

we pull weeds that hinder growth.

Roots grow deeper as the plant grows

to support the weight of the fruit.

In our own lives,

we can also pull weeds to allow beautiful

things to ripen.

Unless growth is the focal point,

we can easily become sidetracked by things

that keep us from reaching our potential.

By staying focused,

we become more grounded and in our purpose."
