The art of sleeping. Something so basic… yet… often so difficult to achieve.
My furry companions were very good at encouraging, and showing me how…. Letting go… and simply …chilling… would be beneficial to my well being.
ie. not making the bed as soon as I get up… would not ruin my day, or spoil my relationship with the world.
and… Quincy has shown me that at anytime, one can close one’s eyes and just “turn off”
“You have your own way of doing things, and others have their way of doing things. Don’t worry about what other people will say.” Simply… allow life to guide you. when we are open to new ways of doing something, we expand our personal horizons.

The key to solving problems is within you
The problems that appear before you can surely be solved. Give it your best effort, and the answers will come to you as long as you remain strong in your conviction that all will turn out well.
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.

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?

Always remember to be thankful and humble – everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. We are here today because the “torch of life” has been continuously passed down.
You create your reality when you begin each day in meditation/prayer
Every experience is a journey and brings awareness.
Have a good day everyone! till soon.

nb** for those who follow the virtual blog I will be posting later today.
Ever feel like you are on a ride that just keeps going around and around… you’re moving but not going anywhere…
Enjoy the moment while you wait
Things come about when they are meant to happen. Think of what you can do for the time being, and don’t rush the outcome. When you are not having fun, could it be because you are being lazy? Sometimes we feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything At times like this, just get up and move your body or work your mind to the fullest extent.
Till soon!

It is interesting because it’s different
Even if someone totally disagrees with you or does things differently, you may learn something from them. Avoid getting trapped in the mindset, “This is the way it has to be,” and free your mind to consider other possibilities.
Have a wonderful start to a new week.

There is a quiet
that engulfs and captures my thoughts
a quiet that fills me with a feeling full of an emotion
I can not name
it isn’t part of a game, nor do I seek fame
But, I do want to lay claim
To the ever present energy
That courses through my veins
is this an insanity or am I sane….. and
all the chatter is in vain
I ask
does it even matter
the moment has passed

Past, Present or Future, always remember to be sincere and Honest. At anytime, the place where you are standing at that moment is the stage upon which you must express yourself. At each moment in time, there is sure to be a way to express yourself in relation to your position or status.

If you have a tendency to be careless about everyday matters, you cannot expect to perform well at crucial times.
