Today

This is the last day of January. Beautiful sunny day, well between the clouds it is sunny. Roads were clear and dry as I went and ran errands for 2 hours. I didn't want to wait to run out of things and have the weather be bad. 

Just like we can create a lot of our own negative. We must change out mindset to gratitude, joy and happiness. Be positive. That will help the positive come our way. What energy we send out we get back, so make it positive.

Thank you Dr. Lucette

 This post reminds me of the program Grey's Anatomy. They would dance when things happened, good or bad. It didn't always make sense at the time, although looking back at it, it does.

Thank you White Ribbons of Peace

Thank you a Simple View

I hope your January was memorable in a good way. I hope you are ready to move into February with a glad heart. 

 

Home

Thank you Heartly Simple

They do say home is where the heart is. And the kitchen is the heart of the home. It is the place where we gather, eat to keep us alive, is warm, welcoming. We make the home. It is a large, never ending circle.

Thank you Crystal Rock Healing

It has definitely been a dark time for many of us. As the days get longer I am feeling lighter. In the meantime I have taken to using a light for SADD from my daughter. I do believe it is helping. Although it doesn't help the things that need to be worked through, only keeping my spirits up more to do it.

Thank you Susan Gale Quotes

Our life now is always more important than what was behind us. Unfortunately we don't look at it that way. Many of us are so busy looking back we forget to enjoy the now. The now is what will build our future. The past is gone. You are able, if you allow, to live today and move into tomorrow, free of the past. But only if we allow, perhaps even force the past to remain past.

But only if you are willing to live in the present, while allowing the future to bloom and the past dust to settle.

It is a very light hearted way of saying a handful of wishes.

It is perfect for the end of the day. May the end of today find you at peace, living life for today and ready to move into tomorrow.

 

Worthy 

Thank you Life on Purpose.

I often wish good things on people I know, but I don't often think they may not believe they are worthy. It goes back to a post I put up a day or two ago, about wishing you could see how I see you, to know how important you are. We often do not let people know they are important, or how we see them. Nor do people tell me. I wonder how different we would all be if that were to happen more often... 

Thank you In Loving Memory of Rhonda Kay Griffith
This is a page that I noticed at least a couple years ago. Very small page, always posted things I could use on Smoothing. There are two people doing that page, both related to Rhonda. John is the one I end up corresponding to the most, and, he was in an accident not too long ago. There are many pages that I deal with on Smoothing. Everything goes along until suddenly I stop seeing posts from pages. That was how I learned of what happened. I wonder how many other pages I used to follow and now see nothing from, what has happened? You get a bond with people who are doing pages you follow. When that stops, due to problems on their end or with facebook, there is always questions that can't be answered. I feel I have lost a friend. I have at least lost someone I respected and was a thread in my life for a period of time. Which means I should make the effort to let some of them know they do matter! 

Thank you Dr. Lucette

Thank you My Day My Way
I can say I find it difficult to ask for help. I have always been the caregiver, the 'gardener'. I seem to hold different rules and standards for myself than I do others.  One place I must work on.

Thank you The Genius Myth

I ran across this post the other day and it reminded me of the one Smoothing was put on restriction for. That one was:

AI that checks posts on FB said it was false info. But that is because AI can't understand that it is a metaphor. I believe this. In france,  when students are in highschool and having problems with the curriculum, they are put into programs where they love what they are doing and excel. Programs for chefs, woodworking, flower arranging etc, and after, they are placed in a job. They take those that are not necessarily book learners and put them where they are good. Not judging the fish for its inability to climb the tree. We need to do more of that in this country. There are some programs for that, but there seems to be a lack of funds and a high resistance for dealing with those who have learning disabilities. 

Thank you Heartly Simple
I wish you a great week and hope you find your purpose.

What a wonderful way to think of that white stuff falling from the sky making us cold and causing work.

Perfect for Sunday. I normally go to Mass on Saturday evenings. I really don't like having to get up and out early in the morning, especially as that is when I tend to do my pages. The sermon last night was on celibacy and the message from St. Paul. Very interesting. Not to mention his on personal comments on it. I want to think that just being in stillness will awaken the divinity in me, but it does seem to take other things to do that as well. I am just glad there is some within me to awaken!

Thank you Dr. Lucette.

Thank you Spirit Trails

Yesterday I was not positive at all. Today seems better. But it is nice to see posts that say we don't have to try and be 'little rays of sunshine' 24/7. I don't think any of us can claim to do that.

Thank you Anxiety Recovery.

Thank you Terry Hershey

Thank you Trudi Jane

Thank you The Light in the Heart

I agree! May your Sunday be relaxing, blessed and special. May it be the beginning of a great week for you!

How many times?

Thank you Smoothing Ragged Edges. 

 How many times have we put off someone only to find we can never get that opportunity again. I remember one time I did not. My grandmother wanted to go pick sweet cherries. We went to the local orchard where we could you pick...and we picked. We didn't need a lot but that is a memory I will never lose. I do know how much she appreciated it, even though at the time I really didn't want to do it. Had a great time with her and she loved going.

On the other side of that, how many times have we thought about doing something, calling, visiting with someone and get interrupted and that chance disappeared. What memory did we miss we may have gotten from it? I remember other times I put off visiting someone and by the time I got 'around to it' they were gone, passed away. 

We never know what would have happened before that interruption, change of mind, procrastination. 

Thank you Spirit Trails
I think of something horrible happening where we have to be strong. It seems the most typical time we think of. But, I have found being alone and struggling with depression counts.

My hope is the incredible is waiting for me. Guess that is what keeps me going.  I had someone comment on my page that curiosity was what keeps them going. I am really not a curious person. I will have questions at times, but overall, I tend to think it is not my business. If someone wanted me to know something they would tell me.
