Thankful

I may change my cover pic on Facebook tomorrow,
but I probably won't get on the computer much more than that.

So ...

I will leave you today with words for the next two ...

Thankful

Be thankful

for each breath you take,

for the moments you laugh,

for the hugs you're allowed,

for the lessons you're taught,

for the messengers you've met,

for the time you are given,

for the talents you are gifted,

for the grace you are given,

for the space you exist in,

for the sustenance before you,

for the places you travel,

for the memories etched,

for the love you've been given,

for the joy that you are.

I am thankful for you.

Take these next few days to reach out

to the folks who mean the most to you;

enjoy each precious second,

grow in the glory of gratitude.

A Wilder Concept

Beautiful and very true words ...

The real things

have not changed.

It is still best

to be honest and truthful;

to make the most

of what we have;

to be happy

with simple pleasures;

and to have courage

when things go wrong.

~ Laura Ingalls Wilder

I would add

that quiet is a joyful place

and joy is found in the quiet.

Have a wonderful day, friends.

Anchors

Ooh ooh!
Stumbled upon a new little nugget for ya!

It seems far too many of us are struggling right now.

Maybe this will help ...

Life's roughest storms

prove the strength

of our anchors.

What are you tethered to???

Have a beautiful Monday beautiful people.

Love

A beautiful sentiment
for the season we are in ...

Love the moment

in which you live

for it will 

never come again.

Meet the magic.

Make the memories.

Taking

This little nugget
just kinda jumped right on me.

Somebody somewhere needs this ...

When it comes to life

the critical thing

is whether you take things

for granted or with gratitude.

The difference is ginormous.

Have a beautiful day!

Music

A beautiful sentiment and a little embellishment ...

The earth has music

for those who listen.

There is harmony out there;

between the light and dark,

winter and summer,

the beach and the woods.

There is a chorus;

a beautiful cacophony

of one thing

complimenting another;

growth and blossoms,

falling and fortifying.

A peaceful perfection

performing a sublime symphony

of grace and goodness.

Close your eyes

and fall in love

all over again

with the music

that is everywhere

around you.

Okay

This is so one of my most favorite sayings.
So much so that I have a little sign of it in the lodge.

Pull this one out when the static gets too loud ...

Everything

is going to be okay

in the end.

If it's not okay,

it's not the end.

Enjoy the day before you.

Twofer Tuesday

Gonna mash up a couple of wonderful tidbits for you.
Here's hoping it finds whomever needs to read it.

On some level ... that would be all of us ...

whether you're willing to admit or not.

Healing doesn't mean

that the damage

never existed;

it means

that the pain

no longer

controls you.

And in that vein ...

keep some room

in your heart

for the unimaginable.

Hoping some unimaginable

finds you today.

Special Occasion

One of my favorites ...

Don't ever

save anything

for a special occasion.

Being alive

is a special occasion.

Use the fancy dishes,

order the expensive dessert,

take the trip,

do the things,

see the sights,

enjoy the day!

Miracles

One of my absolute favorites ...

If you 

don't believe

in miracles,

perhaps

you have

forgotten

you are one.

Believe

in the blessing

that you are.

Oh Yes!

From Mr. Orwell ...
this ...

Perhaps

one did not want

to be loved

so much as

to be understood.

It is Kindness Day today!

Get out there

and kind one another to pieces!

One Good Thing

Sharing this very imperative information
to increase the possibilities of your happiness ...

May you discover

at least one good thing

in every day,

even if you have

to put on glasses 

and squint.

May you carry

hope in your pocket,

courage in your heart,

and love in both hands.

Enjoy Every Second!

Moments

Found this and Lynified it.
I hope it finds whomever might need it.

Let life

unfold slowly.

Take it

day by day,

hour by hour,

minute by minute.

Life is all about

how you experience it.

It is all about

the memories,

the magic,

the moments.

Carry with you

the pieces and parts

that make your soul

content and joyful.

Put down

all the other things.

You were never meant

to bring them along.

My Goal

Came across this dooooooozy and
just had to share ...

My goal

is no longer

to get more done,

but rather

to have

less to do.

Enjoy your goals today!

Much love, friends ...

Sometimes ...

Found a few tidbits and have Lynified them
for your reading pleasure ...

Sometimes

you need to take a break

from every one and every thing

to spend a little time alone

to reacquaint, appreciate

and love your own self,

to reconnect with grace and gratitude

and to seek the beauty

that is in the every day ...

so as not to become lost

in the mundane and in the chaos.

Sometimes

you need to make yourself

a priority.

1U

This!
For so so so many people ... this!

In all of His great big,

spectacular world ...

there is only

one you.

Know how precious

and beautiful

and integral you are.

Make the moment magical ...

Thursday Thanks!!!

Hey kids!
I'm back!

Here's hoping that you kids are all well and wonderful.

I am thankful that I was allowed a respite from the calamity and chaos

and was able to just relax and recharge a bit.

Grateful, too, that I've been afforded the opportunities

to see the things I've seen, go to the places I've been,

met the folks I've met, and done the things I've done. 

Life is truly a gift.

Live as if every second is an extraordinary moment

to be unwrapped and savored and stored away

in a beautiful, magical memory ...

because it is.

Thankful for you!

Enjoy your day!!
