Ful ...

On this Thankful Thursday,
I am sharing this beautiful little quip.
Short, sweet and spectacular!

Be thankful for yesterday.

Be grateful for today.

Be hopeful for tomorrow.

Have a blessed day.

oh goodness ... YES!

Just stumbled across this beauty
and the more times I read it,
the more I really like it.

The universe meets you

at the depth

of your surrender;

not the height

of your struggle.

It's really quite powerful

to realize this.

Top o' the morning

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!
Here's hoping you've got your green on
and are determined to enjoy this day.

This may not be very Irish,

but it is beautiful ... and true!

You can't 

compete with me.

I want you

to win, too.

Imagine the world

if we all garnered that mindset ...

An Awakening

A few words that rolled around and fell out.

An Awakening
by Lyn Marinello    3/14/2026

As the frosty frigid talons
Of winter lose their grip
The daggered ice stalactites
Begin their vernal drip
It is light a little earlier
And dusk remains at bay
The biting wind still whips
As sky blues battle gray
Daffodils and crocuses
Are first to push the dirt with care
And fledgling hawks are squealing
As they test new wings on air
Tiny buds on willows
Azaleas burst in vast array
Dogwoods, not to be outdone,
Flourish in a grand display
Baby birds are chirping
Raindrops bring new growth
Temps begin ascending
Mother Nature keeps her oath
What is dormant in the cold
Is merely resting for rebirth
A newness and a freshness
An awakening of the earth

Burn out?

For so so so many folks ...

It is not burn out.

It is your soul

asking for silence.

Take a moment ...

for your health,

for your heart,

for your self.

Choice

Love this.
Afterward, I will share
the Marinello simplified version ...

Happiness is a choice

It is a byproduct of

appreciation, gratitude

and contentment.

It is based on

how you view your life,

not how your life is.

Marinello-ized ...

You can be happy,

or you can be crappy.

Make good choices.

Sometimes

Sometimes,

the greatest gift

you can

give another person

is to simply

include them ...

A process I am continually learning

with many personalities where I work.
