Forever Young

Today is my mother's birthday, she would have been 88 years old. How I would have loved to see her at such a glorious age.

Always so full of life and energy, she was a vibrant and loving woman. In my heart she will always be forever young.

Excess

How very blessed am I that the only ills I suffer are that of excess. If my jeans are too tight it is because I have more than enough food to eat. If I am stressed from travel it is because I have more than enough money to pay for it.

The struggle and lack of my childhood have disappeared into a wealth of riches. Now I must show my gratitude by sharing my good fortune.

Teeth Marks

I laughed tonight when I saw the teeth marks on the edge of the table. My grandson is old enough now to pull himself up on the furniture and sink his brand new teeth into the table, leaving his tiny little imprint.

I'm sure Mom and Dad don't think it is so cute - but Grandma thinks it is just adorable! Life is very, very good!!!

Precious Time

Nothing is as transient as time. Everything except for right now is an illusion - the past is gone and tomorrow is not here and yet that is where most of us spend our time.

It is very difficult to stay connected to the present moment, especially with all the outside influences that occupy our minds. I try to be still at least one moment each day just to experience nothing but being here, right now.

“Precious time is slipping away, you’re only King for a day” – Van Morrison

Loss

Today I heard of another friend who lost their mother.... It gives me great pause to hear that news. It instantly brings me back to that life altering moment almost 19 years ago when my own mother passed.

There is nothing you can say or do, it is only the love and sympathy you feel deep in your heart for anyone who experiences such a loss. You know their life will never be the same.

Mirror Mirror

What do we see when we look into the mirror. So often we don't even acknowledge what is really there. Do we see the beauty that exists in each of us or do we focus on the imperfections?

Most often what we see in others is only a reflection of what we hide from ourselves. There is a lot to learn if we can see what is really in the mirror.

What do I Support

Most of what we learn in the world is protest, being against something in one form or another. What I am beginning to learn now is that every time we push against something the other side becomes further out of reach.

If I want peace and prosperity in my life then I have to concentrate on that and not on war or poverty.

If energy flows where thoughts go then I want my full attention to be on those things that I love and support!
