Peace

Thank you Spirit Trails

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to get pulled into someone else's drama? Get involved in gossip? It is much easier to get pulled in than it is to get out. I am finding I almost need to get rude about it at times.  There is a difference between hearing someone who has problems than just listening to a recount of something that really didn't need to be shared. I want to ease your burden, but I can't take sides. I will listen, but to be a sounding board...

Thank you Spirit Trails

Oh if it were only that easy!  It is raining for the 2nd day in a row, so it is another day of working inside.  I have a list of things that I want to get done, we will see how far I get today! 

Have a great Wednesday!! 

 

Grief/Anger

Thank you Smoothing Ragged Edges - B4

Often we mistake one feeling for another. Grief and anger will intermingle. There is even a step in the grief process that is anger. For some of us it is difficult to distinguish what we are feeling on some of the negative ones. I believe it takes some real looking at and feeling what is happening. Neither do we want to do when it is negative.

The sun is shining again today and I will be heading outside to work. We are due to get 3 days rain this week, so this may be my last chance until Friday! Have a great Monday and coming week! 

 

A Quiet Sunday Morning

Thank you M.G.Williams

May you have a calm, blessed, relaxing Sunday!

Reflections

Mirror mirror. Who is looking back at me?

I see an image whom I should know

But is not the girl who refused to grow.

Mirror mirror. Who is this person that I see?

Reflections in a world unknown, of houses, yards and trees.

I wonder as I look across and feel the soft warm breeze.

Do they have reflections that they just do not see?

Too busy to look both in and out or going by memory?

But in the wild, reflections float by...

Of trees, fluffy clouds and very blue sky.

There are no homes, no yards, not person one.

Just the forest of trees, white clouds and sun.

As I think about reflections both outside and within

I think back on life, of all that has been.

So many varied ways to see,

Reflections all around but also inside me.

Happiness

Thank you Spirit Trails

My morning disappeared into phone calls, orders for tomorrow when my daughter comes and generally 'poof'. The time flies... 

That first post is touching a spot today. It is hard to let the past go at times, more so than not I would guess. We can always beat ourselves up about something can't we? Time to let go of the past and forgive ourselves for whatever and let happiness in. 

That second one, I am the most content when I can get out and be in nature, doing whatever. Yesterday was finishing my book with coffee, in a rocking chair on the back deck. Did some work with the chainsaw and then relaxed (again). Today, I may actually do some yard work IF, the weather permits. I also have some errands to do... but then again, they can wait for tomorrow. A little at a time seems to be the way to go these days. Today is Friday, may your day be beautiful and move into your weekend with peace. 

 

 Perception

Thank you Courage, Strength and Hope

This is actually very sound advice. Especially if you have an overactive mind and overly sensitive. Simple statements, simple thoughts can send me into a nosedive and it all within my own mind. 

Thank you Spirit Trails

Thank you Living Life Happy. 

Thank you Free Spirited!
I am strongly tempted to brew another cup of coffee, put on a sweater and go to the back deck and enjoy the sunshine with a book! 

Have a great Thursday!!

Who are you changing for? 

Thank you Spirit Trails

Change is difficult, both at the best of times and the worst. My hope is you are changing for you, not someone else. If you try to change for others  you are doing yourself a disservice. Chances are it won't stick and if it does, you may not be happy.  Be who you are and if you want to change, then do it for you. 

It seems to be what keeps the life in you positive...if you can find magic, you can find how many other things also make you happy. 

The sun is shining at least for a bit. I am going to head back to the woods for a little while and enjoy nature before it rains again! 

Have a great Wednesday!
