Take time to reflect....

....at the end of the day and appreciate the fact

you were able to live it.

notes....

the stories, splitting a funnel cake with hubby,

and slushies for us girls.

perfect festival weather

reconnecting with old friends

 photos 

bubbles and escaping balloons floating to the sky

nostalgia and magic in small town traditions

~

embrace the goodness

see people that are right in front of you

love your neighbors as yourself

choose joy and appreciation

be still and listen

remain present &

become one with it.

the best of life exists beyond the things

you were taught to crave

don't miss the sacredness of any moment

by wishing it was some other way

take a little time to be amazed

experience a glow

a sparkle

make memories

feel alive

 

A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind

works healing,

but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

~Proverbs 17:22

"It's not joy that makes us grateful,

it's gratitude that makes us joyful."

be well...

"Every now and then it's good to stop climbing

and appreciate the view from right where you are."

"The biggest lie we're told is 'Be with someone who makes you happy.'

The truth is, happiness is something you create on your own.

Be with someone who adds to it."
