The View...

The view... what a great way to start and end a day! Thank you, friend, for the view!

My Week in Pictures...

Leaves floating in the water

Looks like writing on a cave wall

 See the ladybug hiding?

 A tiny hiding place

 A view

Daddy long legs hanging out

Moth visiting on my front door

Outside...

This is my view when I decided to take my yoga practice outside today. The only think missing is the sound track... birds chirping, the wind fluttering the leaves, cicadas singing and the sound of the morning silence. It was just so beautiful out I couldn't resist!

You don't need a reason to be happy.......

The picture is a license plate I had on my car back in the 80's. I still have it on my bookshelf to remind me "to be happy". Happiness is a state of mind, a chose to choose inspite of what you see in front of you. An opportunity to see the cup half full or half empty. It still is the same, either way, it's all how you look at it.

Lets all sing together....

Don't Worry — Be Happy

Don't Worry — Be Happy

In every life we have some trouble

But when you worry you make it Double

Don't Worry — Be Happy

Ain't got no place to lay your head,

somebody came and took your bed

Don't Worry, Be Happy

The landlord say your rent is late,

he may have to litigate

Don't Worry — Be Happy

Ain't got not cash, ain't got no style,

ain't got no gal to make you smile

Don't Worry — Be Happy

Cause when you worry your face will frown

and that will bring everybody down

Don't Worry — Be Happy

song by: Bobby McFerrin

A moment to PAUSE

STOP - I close my eyes, breath deeply and PAUSE........

My mind can spin with "to do's", "shoulds" (they say don't should all over yourself), and "have tos", which can sometimes cloud my view of all that is good and right in my world. When I pause and look around I see the love and joy life has to offer me. I don't have to reach far, travel great distances or make something up. I just pause and it's all there - always was! It was only my interpretation that had changed. I am grateful for the present moment that allows me another chance to see clearly all that surrounds me. To embrace it, and breath.
