talk about painted hills……
Today is mine to shape,
to live each moment with
deliberateness, to choose
what to do, how I want to
feel, who will be part of
this day. Will I design and
live each moment as I choose,
or will I let circumstances
determine how this day unfolds?
Will I turn my power over to
others or remain firm in my
decision to live my life on
my own terms?
I am my choices.
I am my dreams.
I AM
agoraphobic philosopher ponders:
if you live with the idea of forgiveness,
if you live with the idea of kindness,
if you live with the idea of curiosity,
then you shouldn’t hold anger or hate or mistrust in your heart
because if you live with the idea that everyone can be redeemed and forgiven – then carrying a grudge, judging people, and punishing them – should be unthinkable
but the point is, if you know you will forgive, then let go of the anger and hurt – get toxic people out of your life or minimized as best as you can
then get on with your own life, which, when based in positive emotions and thoughtfulness – self management and mindfulness,
no matter what happens in and around your life, you will be able to find and see more joy and happiness than looking at the world from a negative emotional place that skews your perspective about the world and your place in it.

when you wish upon a star
then you learn what you are
star dust burning! O so bright
twinkling winking through the night……
well, I guess that’s what second drafts are for!
lost my train of thought and had no survivors, Pat. LOL
LOL
Be a bumble bee
Buzzing happily
Be a humming bird
Nothing’s too absurd
Better yet, be who you are
Born to succeed, you are a star!

chrysalis
metamorphism
change
change of life
changing your life
embrace change
embrace possibilityand really, isn’t optimism where hope really lives?
All’s well that ends well*
reminds me that chaos is
part of change. It is easy
to be discouraged by the
madness of this world, but
I, the eternal optimist,
believe the snake sheds its
skin, the caterpillar morphs
into a beautiful butterfly,
and mankind succeeds in shifting
into a integrated Being of Light
leaving behind the dried skin of woes.
We are becoming who we are.
