Redirection

Failure is an ugly word.
It conjures up finality.
I believe more in 'redirection'.


The loss of a game
only means more preparation.
The loss of a union
only means the clarifying of its individual parts.
The loss of trust
only means resolute fortitude.
The loss of life
only means the expansion of your heart with memories.


You are not defined by failure.
You are forged into something greater, stronger, better.


If you only allow yourself some redirection.

Thanks a Million

What a beautiful surprise this morning.
I was having a rough couple of days.
Yesterday was fantastic - playing with hubby.
It led to a great morning . . .
I've hit a million views!


I am humbled that you all take the time to read my posts.
I am privileged that God gave me whatever talents I have.
I am lucky my mom and Ch-Angel Susie urged me to write.
I am thrilled to have such beautiful friends
who support me in doing what I love and enjoy.


You may have just turned my frown upside down.
Thanks a Million!

Will

Will ~
that little power inside of you
that can spur you on to amazing feats!


It's the "do one more".
It's the "try it again".
It's the "don't back down".
It's the "speak your mind".
It's the "you got this".
It's the "you are beautiful".
It's the "never quit".
It's the "yes".


It's your Will.
You can do anything!

Make it incredible

Use the good china every day
as today is all that matters.


Tomorrow is promised to no one.
The past is but a bouquet of beautiful memories.


Today . . .


Today is an extraordinary gift
not given to every one.
Embrace what it holds.
Seek out its beauty.
Breathe in its brilliance.
Bask in its blessings.
Make it incredible.

Oh Yessirree Bob!

Blessed are those that can give without remembering,
and take without forgetting.

Little Angels

So yesterday I knew I would have a rough day.
I wrote before I left that I would need to focus on positives.
Whether I felt it in the air,
or just knew that I was tired and a little less than 100%,
I knew I'd need a little something extra to get through the day.


As sure as the sky is blue,
the day went about as well as I thought it might.
I was met with laziness and insolence.
I tried, briefly, to keep it together and smooth ruffled feathers.
And . . . when I realized that wouldn't work . . .
instead of wallowing in the muck with the leeches,
I removed myself from the situation.
I set myself up with a few Little Angels that helped make the day.


It started with a hug from a Ch-Angel.
Not just any hug. The sort of hug where all the bad stuff leaves
and the broken parts are squeezed back into place.
THAT kind of hug.
And then . . . another Little Ch-Angel visited me
without intent or knowing I'd need it.
And then . . . another!
And then . . . another!


When we do what we can to improve our situation,
we are sent blessings to help us.
Thank you to all my Little Angels for helping me through yesterday.
I am truly blessed!

Good Stuff

There are things that have irritated me the last few days.
Sometimes, I want to just rant.
Sometimes, I want to just yell and scream.
Sometimes, I'd like to shake someone 'til they get it.
Sometimes, I'd like to just throat punch someone.


But . . .


That sort of activity gets you no where . . . and quickly.
The negative, domineering, belittling approach
doesn't do any one any good.
It makes you look foolish and arrogant and stupid.


So . . . instead . . .


I will do what I always do and focus on the Good Stuff.


The sunshine, the ocean, the waves,
the fresh air, working up a sweat, laughing,
enjoying a good game of anything, memories,
sitting next to someone I love, holding hands, singing,
writing, reading, playing, talking to a dear friend,
finding beauty in what surrounds me, music, great food,
stories, dancing, the smell of fresh cut grass, tall trees,
creatures big and small, family, and blessings.


and more . . .


Today . . . I wish you Good Stuff!
