Roar Leo

A quote from Leo Buscaglia:

Too often we underestimate
the power of a touch,

a smile,

a kind word,

a listening ear,

an honest compliment,

or the smallest act

of caring,

all of which

have the potential

to turn a life around.

Roar, Leo. Roar!

Beautiful Destinations

Some difficult paths
cannot be found
without first getting lost
and then
through the brambles,

over the impasses,

under the tangled mass,
we stumble upon
beautiful destinations.

Thoughtful

Today is
National Thoughtful Day!

Thoughtful:

defined as being

considerate of others.

To move beyond yourself.

To give without expectation.

To share without hesitation.

To listen without interrupting.

To care without ceasing.

To love without exception.

It does not require

grand or overwhelming gestures.

A simple smile,

compliment,

bit of assistance,

show of kindness.

We are all capable

and able

to be thoughtful.

Today

and every day.

Two Things

Love this
and believe it
wholeheartedly.

Two things define us:

Our patience

when we have nothing,

and

our attitude

when we have everything.

As I sit and let that sink in,

it is not just the peaks and valleys

that create the beautiful journey

of this thing called life.

It is in what you do with them.

It is in how you share them.

It is in how you preserve them.

It is in how you protect them.

It is in how you respond to them.

Just two things.

Patience and Attitude.

In every peak and every valley.

In every little thing.

Women's Equality Day

So today is Women's Equality Day.
Hmmm.
My most favorite quote on this topic
is the following

by Sir William Gerald Golding:

I think women are foolish

to pretend 

they are equal to men.

They are

far superior

and always have been.

You're welcome

and have a nice day.

Why?

Why fit in
when you were made
to stand out?

Why be equal

when you were created

to do superior things?

Why contemplate

if it's half full or half empty?

You have a glass!

Why hide

when you are clearly

meant to be seen?

Why fade

when you are

destined to shine?

You were created

to be your most

extraordinary self;

unique,

spectacular,

inspiring,

purposeful.

Why be 

anything else?

Light

See the light in others
and treat them
as if that is
ALL
you see.
