Snips

Go easy. You may have to push forward, but you don't have to push so hard. Go in gentleness - go in peace. Do not be in so much of a hurry. At no day, no hour, no time are you required to do more than you can do in peace. Frantic behaviors and urgency are not the foundation for our new way of life. Do not be in too much of a hurry to begin. Begin, but do not force the beginning if it is not time. Beginnings will arrive soon enough. Enjoy and relish middles, the heart of the matter. Do not be in too much of a hurry to finish. You may be almost done, but enjoy the final moments. Give yourself fully to those moments so that you
may give and get all there is. Let the pace flow naturally. Move forward. Start. Keep moving forward. Do it gently, though. Do it in peace. Cherish each moment.
Melody Beattie

If we are to experience the greater oneness with the Spirit inwardly, then we must remain open to support our connection outwardly as well. We must be willing to do unto others what God, though the Spirit, would do through us as the expression.
John Morton


Worrying about the future is like trying to eat the hole in a doughnut. It's munching on what isn't.

It is like kayaking or sailing, go with the flow, you see and enjoy the scenery so much more. Once in a while you need to go against the wind or paddle upstream, but then that is work. And I would rather PLAY...

Have a fantastic trip this weekend! It looks to be cold though!

I could whistle my dads horses out of the barn when I was 2. That is according to dad. I can hardly whistle at all. So instead I sing off key, hoot and holler, and frolic. And that is in an office. Sometimes, I feel like the office cheerleader. LOL

No - no skirts - thank you.......or pom poms.

There is no point to work unless there is a way to have fun. And that goes for just about anything. It bothers some people, but having fun in life makes the days just fly.
