I would suppose some feel Sunday is a conclusion to the long week and others feel it is the beginning of the week, either way it is a good day to put all matters of prior days into perspective and reflection. This week has been especially weighty if you will. By that I mean, personal matters that weigh on your heart. And when I find that there's a lot of chatter (human emotions abounding from a trying week) I know myself all too well and it's time to get by myself and be quiet. Not to mention that when you know you are trying to direct your life in positive directions, quiet and spiritual renewal is the compass that anchors your thoughts, and emotions toward being centered. And so, this early morning, while it is the time between dark and light, I seek to carve out tranquil moments just for me to hear from God. Life can get so crazy and chaotic that you have to silence the noise and hear nothing other than the normal sounds of air that come when you are in an open and quiet space. It is in these moments that I hear the trees outside flowing in the wind and a chorus of different, animals and insects, and I'm assured that all’s a go in the so needed time alone. For I've been literally amazed at some of the happenings and mindsets lately, actually, floored would be a better word; and rather than be nostalgic about it all I demand my personal moments of peace to clear the hard drive of my mind so that I can upload the positivity I need to continue the rest of the day and week.

With that I found myself whispering to my inner being,

Make sure that you always add value to your life by reaching outside your normal sphere, spend quality time with others and yourself, and develop yourself spiritually, that you may become the whole of a well-rounded experience, not for any hidden agenda, nor for anyone else but yourself that you may be able to share with others. ~ and this I would definitely share with the graduate

The Day After Christmas

Christmas day was great. I didn't go to bed until the wee hours again and needless to say I was wrapping gifts at 4:30 that morning as the children rose ready to open their presents. It probably would be useless to most to continue wrapping when everyone would open them minutes after but I did so anyway. I like to do it and wrapping gifts is as much a part of the Christmas festivities as decorating the tree. And just as Christmas day was fun so was the day after.  We followed up Christmas dinner with a fish fry and a game of spades. It was great and me and my partner won the game. We had  great time laughing and kidding with each other. We listened to music and sang along. Nothing like those oldies but goodies. We all took part from the oldest to the youngest adding our voices to the music. To outsiders it may have seemed like no big deal but to me it was as much a part of loving each others as was the gift giving. I sat back and thought that's what ...

Where to...

Thought for the day Ethics should not be reduced so low that we ravage the innocence, moral character, or integrity of society. To do so is to morally bankrupt the fabric of our existence. You don't want to look around and have to wonder if there is anything good left to hold on to. I'll tell you the truth, TV has really opened my eyes. As I've said in previous posts, I've never been a big TV watcher. But the past several months has been a provocation of sorts. Many revelations have been positive and insightful but a great deal more have been heartbreaking. Albeit most shows are meant to entertain but, they still create opportunities to learn, often indicating we've got to check our internal compass to make sure we are headed in a positive direction, making our world a better place to live.

Thought For The Day

"Life is not about the destination but about the journey (quote from Movie Step Up 3) Towards the end of the movie one of the main characters Moose makes this statement. It resonated with my spirit because I believe that life is about both. The journey and the destination but, I totally understood the point he was making. So go on a little journey with me tonight as I share my thoughts and insights with you throughout the evening well unto the New Year. Also keep checking back with me. As we near the count down I am bringing a poem out of retirement that I wrote years ago. I don't know for how long but I think it's fitting as I look over 2010 and with anticipation as we head into 2011.
