Calm

Not sure who said this, but ...
LOVE this!

Stop trying

to calm the storm.

Calm yourself.

The storm will pass.

Song

I have seen this before,
but it just came back to me.

When things recur,

I've learned to listen and share.

Someone (maybe me)

needs to see this, share this,

know this.

To my besties ... thank you

for knowing my song.

A friend is someone who knows

the song in your heart,

and can sing it back to you

when you've forgotten the words.

Love!

Whoever you are celebrating today,
do it with gusto!

Spouse, partner, friend, co-worker,

who-freakin'-ever!

Share the love!

Share your heart!

Share your self!

YOU

are the love

you're looking for!

Celebrate YOU!!!

Monday Moment

Stop what you are doing.
Whatever it is ... stop.

Sit down,

put your hands in your lap,

close your eyes,

breathe in deeply,

exhale slowly,

be aware of the sounds around you,

the sun (or raindrops or snowflakes) on your skin,

the air in your lungs,

birds chirping and chatting,

the aromas around you,

the absence of chaos,

the sweet simplicity of simply existing,

and know, my friend,

that you are loved.

Have a wonderful week.

Palindromic Saturday

From one Robert Byrne:

The purpose of life

is a life of purpose.

You're welcome.

Hope your team wins it

if they're ins it.

;-)

Power

Not sure
who to give credit to
for this,
but ... dadgumit ...
it sure is true!

It all begins and ends

in your mind.

What you give power to,

has power over you,

if you allow it.

Choose wisely.

A Birthday Ch-Angel!

Today I celebrate

my 'nother mother.

So embedded in my life

and in my growth

and in my heart.

You have pushed me,

pulled me,

laughed with me,

cried with me,

helped me,

held me,

loved me.

I cannot begin to thank you

for all that you are

to me.

So ... when it feels

as though you are underappreciated,

or if you are feeling lonely,

remember that I love you

more than you'll ever comprehend.

You are so special

and so admired

and so respected

and so very inspiring.

Happy Happy Birthday my 'nother mother.

God bless you Ch-Angel Susie!
