Delight-Full

The world is crammed with delightful things.

Look around.  Fill yourself with delight.

Good-Heartedness

As I get older, I realize that
the thing I value most
is good-heartedness.

The amount of happiness you have
depends on the freedom
you have in your heart.

the more your heart suffers.

Do the little good where you are;
it’s those little bits of good put together
that overwhelm the world.

How We Choose

Moon in the Morning

You can choose to perceive things differently.
You can focus on what’s wrong in your life
or you can focus on what’s right.

Stillness

TODAY

Today I’m flying low and I’m
not saying a word.
I’m letting all the voodoos of ambition sleep.

The world goes on as it must.
the bees in the garden rumbling a little,
the fish leaping, the gnats getting eaten.
And so forth.

But I’m taking the day off.
Quiet as a feather.
I hardly move though really I’m traveling
a terrific distance.

Stillness.  One of the doors
into the temple.

~Mary Oliver~

Learning to be still,
to really be still and let life happen –
that stillness becomes radiance.

~Morgan Freeman~

The art of being still – something we must learn.  Practice, practice, practice.

 

Everyday Choices

The remarkable thing is,
we have a choice everyday regarding
the attitude we will embrace that day.

~Charles R. Swindoll~

Thursday’s Musings

iPhone photo from yesterday’s afternoon walk

Stop every now and then.
Just stop and enjoy.
Take a deep breath.
Relax and take in the abundance of life.

At some point in life,
the world’s beauty becomes enough.

Yesterday’s blue sky

Lose yourself in nature
and find peace.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

Keep your eyes open to your mercies.
The man who forgets to be thankful
has fallen asleep.

~Robert Louis Stevenson~

All it takes is a short neighborhood walk with my ‘girls’ on a stunning autumn day to open my eyes to my mercies and find peace.

Have a beautiful and peaceful Thursday.  Keep your eyes open.
