somewhere

You can just tell the climate is not the cold of today.. the picture was taken just a few days ago but in another part of the world. It is amazing how at the same time I was dealing with a cold that chills to the bone, a friend was wandering and taking in the sights in the Dominican Republic.

We walk around and tend to our lives (cuz we are in the moment! right!) yet someone else, at the exact time, is experiencing his/her life in a completely different way. That is what is so awesome about the world we live in. Our opportunities are so vast, so diverse. and yet…. we often find ourselves going up and down the same street, and never going beyond what is “familiar” to us.

Have you stepped out of your comfort zone lately?

Don’t be swayed by the past; It’s what you do from now on that counts. Your failures as well as your successes are now in the past. Always look towards the future and start with a fresh outlook.

Being considerate of others is just as important as what works for you.

Always be mindful of the situations of others, not just your own. To have a good relationship with those around you always think of what is important to them too.

Thursday

Always be cheerful, happy and good humored.

When you make an effort to be cheerful and happy you will naturally begin to feel that way.

The gateway to happiness lies within your reach. It is always open to you, you simply have to know that happiness begins within, Always be yourself, don’t try to be someone you aren’t.

Have you used a stapler lately, mine ran out out of staples, and for a few minutes.. I actually wondered what was wrong with it.. then I had to scramble to remember where the replacements were.!!! finally found, I had a bit of a chuckle as I looked at the stapler to determine how to put the replacements in. Like duh, this was such an easy fix … thankfully I have a “junk” drawer in my office for items seldom used, BUT could be useful one day… Have you used a stapler lately?

Be careful not to lean towards only what you like

Live a life of balance; don’t just do the things you like to do, or are good at, or already know how to do. (PL2017.19)

I would like to give a shout out to employees who work in Asian grocery stores — I am a shopper who cannot read a lot of the packaging. Many of the employees are not fluent in English… yet they go out of their way to ensure you have a positive shopping experience. The other day as I was topping up on my Starbucks bottled coffee (from the cooler) the young man stocking the cooler next to me… leaned over and said “please wait if you can, on sale soon for good price” Did I appreciate his help.. you bet.. it was 8.99 a bottle and when they put it on sale it goes to 6.89..

Have a good day everyone!

“Now” is always the start of something new. Leave the past in the past. What is important is “what you are going to do now” Using the present as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress. (PL2014.24)

All that we are is a result of what we have thought. – Buddha

Enjoy your day everyone! Smile, This is your day!

today

Where has the day gone, as I sit and ponder the events of the day, I realized the time comes and goes so quickly, one minute it is time to get up and before I know it, it is time to call it a day. I have learned over time to try to live each moment with intent and purpose, yet no matter the day/night, when I actually stop to take in the moment.. I am surprised that much of the time came and went, and I am still looking at NOW.

Do What you can, with what you have , with where you are. (Theododre Roosevelt)

Here is a thought for you… do you agree?

A physical action is necessary to make something real

Your feelings of appreciation become real when you express them. Express your feelings of appreciation by actually saying “thank You” out loud or by doing something to show how you feel. Not only will the person you are thanking feel good, but you will too, leading to better things in the future. (PL2014.210

Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

It’s easy to place the blame on others and society for the problems you encounter in life. But you are the one with the power to change the outcome. (PL2019.28)

Breathe life into things and money.

The value of things and money is revealed when they are utilized as material to express yourself. Express your full Makoto (sincere effort) when using them (2014.20)

Loved this creative way of showcasing what was.. Touring along a dusty country road, where there was a lot lush vegetation, It was a refreshing sight to find an old barn that was being used as a backdrop for old pieces of rusting metal farm equipment and an old bike.

There is an implement on the bottom row that reminds me of the ice “tongs” used to grab big chunks of ice stored in “ice” barns.. in the days before refrigerators. Does seeing these old pieces remind you of another place and time? I see there is a bigger one upper left. I love rusted metals, can anyone shed light on some of the history showcased here?
