Serenity – Fresh & Green

I’m thinking this morning about quiet on this new Monday morning.

Quiet while I gather my thoughts and remember my goals.

Quiet while I center myself, hoping that my soul finds harmony.

Quiet while I breath deeply and calm my thoughts.

For today is a new day and I can choose to release within myself the power to become healthier; mentally and physically..

As today begins to unfold, I think about this inspirational thought from Thoreau that takes me to a peaceful green space:

 

“A single gentle rain

makes the grass

many shades greener.

So our prospect brighten… Read More

Take some time for quiet thought today. Your inner person deserves it! When you get free from certain fixed concepts of the way the world is, you find it is far more subtle, and far more miraculous than you thought it was.                            ~ Alan Watts… Read More

Breathing, centering, finding my inner peace.  That is what today is about. Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk, author, poet and peace activist.

But first I have to create the conditions to get to it. What is the hurry? With the help of Thich Nhat Hanh’s quote below, I will decrease the speed with which I am living my life.  I… Read More

Hi Dear Friends! Yesterday I went for my annual eye exam and of course the doctor dilated my eyes.  I now have to use eye drops three to four times a day.  One is a prescription drop and the other is an over-the-counter brand.  I am just getting used to this new routine and I am finding that it’s a lot of drops to have rolling down my face.  Better get some water-proof mascara right? Needless to say, computer time has been temporarily shortened but today I still wanted to post some thoughts about healing and managing life’s wacky stresses.… Read More

January Baby

I am a January Baby and yesterday was my birthday. I am happy to have a birthday (Elvis and I were born on the same day!) but I wish I had been born at a different time of the year. By the time my birthday arrives, people are usually burnt out from the holidays.  Throughout the years, I have found that friends and family are either on a diet in January or they had spent too much money on Christmas so they are back on a budget in January.  Sometimes I have received gifts in Christmas wrapping paper and sometimes… Read More
