This Week - Hope

Took this nugget and seriously Lynified it.

This week,

I hope life is kind to you.

I hope the heavy things

feel lighter.

I hope the right doors open.

I hope you have good hair days.

I hope you receive

lovely little lagniappes.

I hope that kindness

greets your mornings

and gratefulness

kisses you goodnight.

I hope that something small reminds you

that good things can still happen

and beautiful people still exist.

Have a happy, hopeful week.

ODA

A great little acronym for so many folks I know ...

Observe, Don't Absorb

A person's behavior

is a mirror

of their inner world -

it's about them,

not you.

Protect your sacred

inner ground.

Observe the behavior,

learn from it

but do not absorb it.

Their actions

do not need to become

your realm.

Fresh Start

A simple Friday tidbit:

Today

is a fresh start.

Breathe deep,

believe in yourself,

and

show up with purpose.

You are capable.

You are worthy.

You are enough.

You are loved.

Enjoy the day before you.

Thankful Thursday

Not by might.
Not by power.

But by His spirit.

Have an extraordinary day.

PKU

Everyone you meet
is carrying something

you cannot see.

A little Patience,

a little Kindness,

and

a little Understanding

go way further

than you realize.

Pack your PKU

and use it often.

P's are Important

The 6 P's of your journey:

PATIENCE

Trust the timing.

PEACE

Calm your mind.

PERSISTENCE

Keep on going.

PROGRESS

Focus on the journey.

PURPOSE

Work toward your why.

PRAY

There is always hope.

Sometimes, 

we need to just slow down

and breathe and re-evaluate and redirect.

Have a beautiful day, friends.

A Favorite

This is one of my most favorite quotes
and mantras in life ...

The one who plants trees,

knowing that he

will never sit in their shade,

has at least started

to understand

the meaning of life.

Give without expectation.

The ripples remain and resound.

Sermons

Love this! Live this!

Perhaps

the greatest sermons

are the ones

we never hear

but those we see

in the quiet, unassuming

actions and deeds

observed in the lives

of ordinary people

who go about

doing good.

PREACH!!!

Out

Trying to learn this daily ...

Peace

comes to you

when you realize

that everything that is

out of your control,

should be

out of your mind.

I wish you peace

and serenity

and strength

and hope.

Thankful Thursday

Good morning.
It's Thankful Thursday
and there is much to be grateful for!

In case you need a little help today ...

You've Got This Today.

One step.

One task.

One deep breath

at a time.

Keep showing up.

You are doing better

than you think.

I am here for you.

Be thankful 

in the knowledge

that I want you to succeed,

to be happy,

to be healthy.

I'm over here, loving you, friend.

Different

Just a joyful, simple
Wednesday word ...

What makes you different,

makes you beautiful!

You are created as you should be,

perfectly unique and necessary.

Shadows

Glass half-full/half-empty
with a beautiful twist.

Sitting through 100+ mph winds,

seeing the destruction around us

from Hurricane Isaias,

I stumbled across this tidbit

and had to share.

I found it very powerful ...

Some shadows aren't cast

by what threatens you.

They are cast

by what covers you.

Have a beautiful day.

Kindness

As my panhandle friends face down
this ridiculously named storm,

I urge you all to remember kindness.

Check on your neighbor.

Help one another.

Share if you are able.

Have patience.

Understand that

what you sow so shall you reap.

May not have a lot of power

of the next few days.

If I'm able to post, I will.

Be safe. Be well. Be kind.

Faith

Simplicity on this Wednesday!

Faith:

It doesn't 

make things easy;

it makes them

possible.

Stay safe my SE friends.

Be well all the other folks!

Loved

I've done took this and Lynified it!
Hope it reaches whomever needs it ...

Some days are not perfect,

and that's okay.

You don't have to be strong

every day.

It's okay to feel tired.

It's okay to feel lost.

It's okay to feel a little broken.

It's okay to feel sad.

You have to be kind to yourself.

Give yourself grace.

Give yourself a moment.

Give yourself time.

Know that you are loved.

Hope

Hey kids!

I have returned.

Spent an extraordinarily amazing week in northern Yellowstone.

Mostly rested and rejuvenated.

A beautiful wish on your Tuesday.

Hope

is the quiet belief

that even

in the darkest moments,

tomorrow can bring

something beautiful.

Have a terrific week.
