What Do You See?

What do you see?

I see a new horizon.
I see possibilities.
I see hope.
I see chance.
I see potential.
I see strength.
I see fortitude.
I see love.

What do you see?

Faith

We all run into issues.
We have illnesses.
We have troubles.
We have doubts.
We have anxiety.
We have problems.

We also have the answer.

FAITH!

Simple.
No frills.
It is there for the taking.

Two GREAT Days

In keeping with yesterday's blog theme . . .

William Barclay fittingly stated:

There are two great days in a person's life . . .
The day we are born
and the day we discover why.

I hope you discover your why!

Those Days

There will be 'those days'.

When you feel like the little black cloud sits atop your head.
When the traffic all seems to be coming head on.
When the struggles seems a bit more obtrusive.
When the world seems a little less kind.

This is how I handle those days.
Like Grandpa taught me:  bob and weave
Like Poppa taught me:  say what you want
Like Momma taught me:  NEXT!

And, when I put myself into bed,
I thank God for the day;
for the lessons, for the struggle, for the traffic, for the rain, for the ugliness;
for the blessings, for the ability to fight, for the car, for fresh growth, for my heart.
I ask Him to look after my kids, my hubby, and our families.
And then I ask Him to lead me where I'm supposed to go.

When I awaken,
it is a fresh slate, a clean canvas, a brand new adventure.

Enjoy and embrace your days -
no matter what.

Hi!

Hi!
My name is Lyn.

What you need to know ~
ALL you need to know ~
is that I am kind, loyal, giving, helpful, and loving.

The color of my skin,
my sex,
my orientation,
my history,
my lineage,
my political stance,
my religious beliefs,
my background
is of no consequence.

We were not born to be labelled.

We were born to excel,
to achieve,
to teach,
to give,
to embrace,
to hope,
to listen,
to learn,
to love.

A bit o' Ben

Since it's January . . .
and we're on the 'new beginnings' kick,
I thought I'd throw this Ben Franklin blurb out there:

Be at war with your vices,
at peace with your neighbors,
and let every new year find you a better man.

Sound advice!
Have at it.

F & F

Some of you will have noted that I blogged on Sunday.
I normally take Sunday as a day of rest.
Someone wise and fantastic said to do that.
Well, truth be told,
I'm heading off grid for a few days.
Not for R & R . . . but for F & F.
Family and Frivolity.

My babies are headed up here.
We go grab them today and spend every second of quality time
we can with them.
If you've got folks by you that you care about,
please . . . grab 'em.
enjoy 'em.
squish 'em.
snuggle 'em.
hug 'em.
love 'em.

Have a little Family & Frivolity time!
Enjoy!
