things don’t always go as planned. When, that happens, try changing how you look a the situation or how you are doing things.
The outcome is in your hands.

A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.” “Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger… anger leads to hate… hate leads to suffering.”

How has the last month been for you? Are you the same person you were, or do you feel that you have changed? How long have you been in a “changed” environment, or had your daily routine drastically edited, so that now, you are faced with the daily challenge of “living in the present”..
It is important to be assertive, but maintaining harmony is just as important. Say what is on your mind clearly, but don’t be overly attached to your views. Respect the points of view of others and always seek to find a happy medium.

Be thankful to your parents and to your ancestors. You are here today because the “torch of life” has been continuously passed down. Always remember to be thankful.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Khalil Gibran

Don’t give up! Stick with it, as many times as it takes. Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give up” but that’s the time for you to dig deep and push through. Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome

Rather than thinking “I Have to…” Think ” OK, Let’s do this!” When you procrastinate and put things off until later, you will make things harder than they need to be. Get up and do it now.

New encounters can help you change. Be up for anything even if its out of your comfort zone. This is a chance for you to improve yourself as a human being.

When fellow blogger https://milfordstreet.wordpress.com/photography/ posted this picture, I knew I wanted to feature it. Chris shows us the world around him, avid photographer, I get to see many places where he and his wife travel to, or visit. This scene drew me in immediately. I wanted to be there. smell the freshness of the active water, and the dampness of the ground that met its banks. Mostly I wanted to bask in the peacefulness of the moment. Sanctuary.
The shade, the bit of snow… the evergreens basking in the sunlight that was peaking through the woodland tops. It felt so peaceful. I asked his permission to share it with you, my friends, community and family. We are embraced, all around us with Nature’s glory, and constant source of inspiration. Allow the “real” world to enter your hearts..

Emotions, a vast array of feelings, that come and go endlessly in the various corners of our minds. Some are overwhelming, some very specific, and others, specific to a moment in time, place or person .. a memory, a silent tear, the warmth of a smile, a love shared.
Today with social distancing, many are experiencing a tremendous overload of emotions that come unsuspectingly to the forefront of our days/nights. Not so easy now to just push aside by picking a distraction to occupy the mind till the moment passes.
