Shrew? me?……. yes you!

oh my I had not thought of myself as a shrew…

hmmm what to do…

oh, the dictionary says I’m a cute mammal

with a long pointed snout

and tiny eyes…. kinda cute….

oooooh, you don’t mean that shrew!

oh oh, a shrew is also a bad-tempered, aggressively assertive woman

really, this is what you think of me

oh my goodness….. your reality is your perspective isn’t it???

so somewhere in my personality I must demonstrate such traits

a235f785e9ae27da7d89f32e0b31907dwhat to do, what to do

if I care for you , which I do

I must assume some responsibility 

for how I am perceived…

yes… I must, I must…

small in this world I may be

but the power of love

is huge, it will help me to 

make the changes in my life that I need to

so  the cute shrew I’ll be

by setting the negative in me free.

vrijdag nu… Good morning!

amishWhen we have been in upper NY State, we often will see a lone Amish buggy making its way down the side of the highway towards its destination.  Cars are whizzing by, driver and horse are not oblivious to the automobiles, their noise and fumes, they simply just keep heading to where they are going appearing to be in their own space and time.  I never can pass without  thinking of how in many ways it would be nice to be sitting along side the driver on a dirt road with nothing but natural woodlands  and meadows on either side.  Instead of concrete,, the horses were making their way over well trod earth.  Day dreaming and reality.  What a pair. We need a daily dose of both.

Life is a balance of negatives and positives, often we find ourselves experiencing the emotions of life on one side of the coin or the other. When you turn the coin on its side, you can see that the side is slim and though you see the rim of the coin, you cannot see both side of the coin at the same time. When I found the following quote this morning, I knew it was  to be shared.  Is love and being in love different?  Are they  different states of BEING?

e90031fba300ed47db3f5204118a9000Look for the beauty around us, appreciate the good qualities  in others. We all have our moments of “ops did I really do/say that”  The ongoing challenge is to see happiness and positives in our daily lives.  We have to begin with being honest with our inner self… loving who we are, and where we are in life.  We are alive.. this is vrijdag, Friday… we have another day to be creative.. Life is ART. And best of all.. YOU are LOVED LOVED LOVED, we are ALL ONE in this glorious UNIVERSE… reach out and touch someone today… let your smile shine!
