Blessings, affirmations, grace, and reflection

Hooray for chicken soup! This was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. First grade is about right. Still love it! Thanks Saucy for posting this!

When is enough really enough? What I mean is when is it time to decide to step off of the merry-go-round and change your course of action? I find myself constantly falling back into bad habits. Procrastination, laziness, slothfulness - for that matter all of the deadly sins. I just can't seem to get it right. I do OK for a while then slowly slip right back into my bad habits. Each time I promise myself that I won't do it again. Each time I slip up, time and time again. When does it stop? I've been reflecting a lot lately. Partly because I've come into contact with people from my past who are unearthing these memories, and partly because I am in a quiet place spiritually. I feel as if there is something right over the horizon that I need to reach. The problem is that I keep getting in my own way. Just this morning I was thinking about how many situations my a bad attitude has screwed me out of. How many people who were focused and driven I could have aligned myself wit...

Can you believe this weather? It has been amazingly perfect just about every day this summer. Well, except for the days when it would rain non-stop. Today was such a day, still it did not put a damper on my spirits. I've come to the conclusion that I am living an extraordinary life.

Ah man, so many thoughts weighing on my mind. You know when the world seemingly falls off its axis and throws you for a loop it can be hard to recover. I am facing the fact that life has changed tremendously . This is a pivotal year for me in so many ways. I've been rolling with the punches, but so many changes in a matter of months eventually catches up to you. A shift in energy is what it is. So many memories of what is no longer there. A house that is no longer a home. A family member who is simply a shell of who they were in my memory. A lover whose kisses are just a faded memory. A childhood idol gone, leaving behind a tainted legacy. My heart is heavy, but my third eye is clear. I can now see the B.S. as soon as it presents itself. So many people who are lacking authenticity. So many people think they can judge others while they are living contradictory lives of their own. Where did we lose our way and how can we find our way back? Imagine a world where we all were just who...
