Today is another day1I know we have all heard, or so I believe, that we can only live in the present moment.
Such a simple thing to believe, not so simple to live! And yet, when I do just that, and keep reminding myself to do
this, I am filled with so much joy...because I am seeing what is in front of me and not dwelling on worries.
Right
this moment, as I look out my window I see the silence of a foggy, misty morning, and sense that all is very well indeed.
The birds still sing in the mist...so can I!

Sadness - a part of living and thrivingMy focus is always to live from love and trust. It's so much simpler than other
ways that offer no benefits.
Today one of my very best friends told me she was moving to San Francisco in
less than a month for a new job.
While I am very happy she was able to secure employment, I am also sad to
see her go. In the moments when the sadness came, I had a choice of allowing the energy to let this get me down
or to release the energy with love trust. I did the latter and I must say it was a far better choice
as my day could not be any nicer!

LaughterLaughter is truly one of the best medicines. Loads are lightened when smiles
and laughter are shared. In taking care of my mom, I really make an effort to help her and me to keep our joy game on!
Laughter and joy with friends and family - even Doctors help to lighten the load!
Find something today to take
your frown away - and be the bearer of smiles for all to see!

CelebrationsFriday night there was a celebration for my birthday and
a good time was had by all! Great food, super company! Thanks Jimmie and Pat!
Celebrations -
be they for birthday's, anniversaries, or just because it's Friday night are special. Too often we don't
take the time to be in the moment of all the Joy that surrounds us and celebrate all the time from our Spirit.
It does not need to cost anything...gratitude just takes awareness.
Pat is an expert card picker! My Birthday
card this year had a great quote from an artist Marjolein Bastin and it went like this: "There is so much beauty surrounding
us in the nature world and in all of life if we just stand still and open our eyes as it unfolds each day. It is in
these moments of discovery that we allow ourselves to truly experiences all the wonder and sweetness of life!"
Enjoy this fabulous day!

Why the Birds?In case you are wondering why I have a number of pictures of birds on my website....there
is a reason.
The more I focus on the joy that surrounds me the more aware I have become of the beauty of
nature. The winters in NE Ohio can be bleak for those who miss the beauty of a bright red cardinal in the white
snow, or any of the magnificent woodpeckers seeking food.
Viewing the colors of these winter visitors lifts
my soul on the darkest days...all the better to see their vibrant colors.

Mixed messages?This morning in bed I could see the setting of the moon to the West and the glow
of the sun to the East. This view will never cease to uplift me. Seeing it first thing in the morning really makes
my day!
As I lingered looking out the window I was also aware of the many bare tree branches that appeared to be
going every which way. In reality...it was that the trees are separated by quite a distance and all the branches on
each tree are 'in order' in a tree sort of way...
The eye can be deceptive...what looked like disorder
was perfectly in Divine Order. So too with life, no?
