Beginning Today….

I will share something I read with you my friends which I thought was something good and inspiring …

Beginning today. . .

I will no longer worry about yesterday.
It is in the past and the past will never change.
Only I can change by choosing to do so.

Beginning today. . .

I will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there,
Waiting for me to make the most of it.
But I cannot make the most of tomorrow
Without first making the most of today.

Beginning today. . .

I will cherish each moment of my life.
I value this gift bestowed upon me in this world
I will unselfishly share this gift with others.
I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.

Beginning today. . .

I will take a moment to step off the beaten path
And to revel in the mysteries I encounter.
I will face challenges placed before me
With courage and determination.
I will overcome the barriers that may hinder
My quest for growth and self-improvement.

Beginning today. . .

I will take life one day at a time,
One step at a time.
Discouragement will not be allowed to taint
My positive self-image, my desire to succeed
Or my capacity to love.

Beginning today. . .

I walk with renewed faith in human kindness.
Regardless of what has gone before,
I believe there is hope
For a brighter and better future.

Beginning today. . .

I will open my mind and my heart.
I will welcome new experiences.
I will meet new people.
I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else,
Perfection does not exist in an imperfect world.
Rather, I will applaud the attempt
to overcome human foibles.

Beginning today. . .

I am responsible for my own happiness
And I will do things that make me happy . . .
Admire the beautiful wonders of nature;
Listen to my favorite music;
Pet a kitten or a puppy;
Soak in a bubble bath . . .
Pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.

Beginning today. . .

I will learn something new;
I will try something different;
I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer.
I will change what I can and the rest I will let go.
I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.

Change

It is the spring of change and I have been quiet, wondering where these changes will lead.

Change is a funny thing. You may wish for it and when it happens you may find yourself ground to a halt as you contemplate which road to take. I am still there at the crossroads sitting and listening. My life waits to move on and I only know if you deny your soul the place it longs for, it will find a way to demand it of you. So mine is making those demands rather loudly and I am wondering what next.

There are many doors open to me now and I wonder where I might find myself down the road. For now I wait and listen, refusing to settle for others. The moon and stars are anywhere I might choose to go and as time goes by I realize it is my turn, my journey waiting for me, calling me forward.

Ease on Down the Road.....

Oh my, follow the yellow brick road....ok....that's what I've been doing...and here I am on this damned yellow brick road.  Yellow brick road to my left, to my right, straight in front of me, behind me.  I've been on this yellow brick road now for I don't know how long and have nothing to show for it....except for these damned red shoes......and believe me, they aren't anything to write home about.  They don't keep you warm on a long, cold lonely night.  They don't do anything.  They're just there.  If they are good for anything, I haven't figured it out yet.

Why do I have to follow this road alone? Where is my traveling companion?  It would be nice to have someone to travel this path with me.  Someone with brains, a strong heart, some courage. Damned yellow brick road.  Damned red shoes.  Just gets a little lonely out here.  Be nice to have someone to be in step with, see some of the sights with, fight off these flying monkeys (what the hell they are I don't know, but I don't like them),someone to talk to.  You know, a live person, these talking apple trees are not big on conversation, and they are a little grouchy.  Someone to maybe  even figure out these red shoes.

Ok, temper tantrum over with.  There seems to be a forest coming up.  Looks a little dark and scary.  You know red shoes, now would be a good time to produce that traveling companion.  Yep, nothing.  Have to go this one alone also.  Damned red shoes.  Damned yellow brick road.  Ok, just breathe.  You can do it. You've got brains, a good heart, some courage. Just ease on down the road.....you and your red shoes.

Hmmm, I bet you there's lions.......and tigers..........and bears in this forest.  Ok! Where is that companion? Lions.....and tigers......and bears......Oh My!

On my journey...
