Focus

 DSC04253_edited-1

Only one little journal page to share with you today--I’ve been a bit busy…..

old!

…but my busy-ness, I realize, has been good.  All good.  More than just busy, I’ve been trying to be more focused

More focused on my family and friends.  More attention paid to the work I need to do.  To my spiritual needs.  And you know what I’m finding?

Happiness.  A lot of happiness.

What will you focus in on today?

Me, Myself & I

DSC04238_edited-1

It’s hard to write about myself.  To have the camera aimed my way.  I’m usually the one behind the camera—capturing the lives of those I love the very most…

…but sometimes it’s good I think to let others aim the camera my way.  To have to take a look at myself—be a little bit objective….

…to capture a moment or two at different moments in my life.  If I don’t do that every once in a while, how will those that come after me ever learn about me—see me?

So, once in a while, I’ll put my camera down & let myself be captured.  Let my guard down.  Let my future loved ones see me as I really am.  It isn’t that bad, really--

--especially when those moments of me, myself & I are captured when I’m surrounded by the ones I love.

Let yourself be captured today.

Clear Your Mind

DSC04226

Life gives us lots to think about, doesn’t it?  It’s easy to worry about so very many things from day to day…..

It’s good to remember, I think, to slow down.  Listen….

…to just be still.

To try not to listen to all the negative.  The confusion.  The noise.  The worry…..

To, instead, turn it around….and be calm.

Be a little more gentle.  Be a little more loving.  Take away the cares of someone else. 

Small things--little by little--might make us all just a little more happy.

See you soon with something new…
