Look closely...

Riding the Storm...


“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.” ~Haruki Murakami

Self Strength...


As I feel more safe and secure within myself,
my relationships become more safe and secure.
As I trust myself and the choices I make,
my connections become more trustworthy.
The more faithful I am to myself,
the more my world reflects that fidelity.
As I honour myself,
my interactions in the world become honourable.
And I realise that the Universe is an honourable place,
Of which I belong.

Through the mire...



“The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. But it will only grow in the mud. In order to grow and gain wisdom, first you must have the mud --- the obstacles of life and its suffering. ... The mud speaks of the common ground that humans share, no matter what our stations in life. ... Whether we have it all or we have nothing, we are all faced with the same obstacles: sadness, loss, illness, dying and death. If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness and more compassion, we must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one. ” ― Goldie Hawn

God's artwork...

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places
where other people see nothing. -Camile Pissarro

My life...


I disagree about having those in your life to rely on, you just can't expect them to make your life a better place than you can make it yourself.

The present is a gift...


I stopped writing about the past because my hands are full with the wonder of today.

Faygo Red Pop....

There are not a great many that occur, yet when they do, they certainly brighten my day. I came across a soda machine with Faygo Red Pop in it. As I enjoyed the flavor a flood of memories of a childhood friend came to me. My family could seldom afford soda at home but my best friend and neighbor, Crystal always had Faygo Red Pop.

Words from a wise man...


"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing   that there are still so many helpers - so many caring people in this world." -Mr. Rogers


Comfort in this time of mourning, for our loss this day in Connecticut.

Updates

I apologize that it has been so long. There has been no voice in my head to inspire me to write. For that reason I hate my medications. My life is quiet, to dull to write about. Well, I will share some good news. I have been working since the week before Thanksgiving. The job entails placing washers onto screws, which would be menial to most persons, yet I am grateful for the opportunity to do something with structure and worth. I work along side many special needs people, which helps me to count my blessings, seeing the many afflictions I don't have to live with. Yet at the same note, I see that they can find such happiness in the simpleness and envy them.

Another note of good news, is that I have my new office equipment and am looking for work at home positions. The applications are long and tiring. Most have skill and personality tests along side there basic application. I have had a couple over the phone interviews and have some pre-hire training to go through. This particular company assesses while they train you, therefore you would have to pass the training in order to be hired. I feel good about that company. My only worry about working from home is my cats wanting attention when I am in the middle of work.

I think that is all for now. Happy Holy Days Season! However and whatever you celebrate.
