Spiritually is finding the truth in you.

Life-long learning is the modus of keeping your brain…your thoughts…your ideas…engaged in a quest for knowledge that enriches and expands the mind with a constant thirst for wisdom.

To see something as either black or white is easy. To see the entirety in something that has blending colors takes time. To see something that’s not there, takes one who is a visionary.

Life isn’t measured by the years/days/hours/minutes/seconds you live. Nor is it gauged neither by your accomplishments or wealth nor even by how many friends or good deeds. Life is solely valued by the people you have made feel good about themselves… for those are the ones that pass it on!

There is a very, narrow, thinness of line between the living and the dead; actually, it's just a lack of a heartbeat away.

Trying to think more outside the box is like taking a picture with a camera, the more you do it, the more you learn about different positions and angles. The more you take pictures, the more you learn that you can change the camera distance range or change the speeds, and different amounts of light let in. Likewise, the camera speed is the same as allowing yourself time for outside ideas and thoughts to flow.

As the years go by, it’s our relationships that will leave us the best memories to celebrate endlessly.

Sometimes it’s hard to know when to let go. It can be so personal…like the autumn leaf still hanging on the limb in the late October sky, Mother Nature sends a gust of wind to nudge it’s stem loose. For us we must listen for our own nudge from the inner soul. We must know…we will feel, it’s ok to let it be. *“Whispers words of wisdom let it be.” - Wes Adamson* “Let It Be” lyrics by Paul McCartney

The hurt, resentment, the revenge, the pride, and regret are thrown hard and fast like snowballs in the winter. Some major ones hit hard; some minor ones just roll off, while others stick for an elongated time…as long as we stay in the cold frosty air of not letting go.

Revenge is like waves hitting the beach, the water is drawn in and sucked back into yet another wave, pounding and smashing its shoreline!

You might call them the icing on “life’s cake,” but music, laughter and the enjoyment of eating are the toppings that flavor everyday living. These added accents or accessories do spice up the cake. If served without, life would be rather bland!

We talk a lot about the five senses: vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. I would add one more…imagination.

Life can be just black and white, but with imagination, life is a kaleidoscope of exhilarating colors and breathtaking adventures.

Friendship is a door you will never need to knot on as you will always have a key.

More of life seems to live inside us than out. Happiness is when you connect both of them.

A ritual becomes the match that lights the kindred celebration candle of sacred moments long ago… tantalizing these entombed spirits to surface again.

The dependency of the human element on Planet Earth is a profoundly personal relationship with Nature’s Mom.

What is really scary is running naked inside yourself, revealing the real you.

Yet the best determining factor of how comfortable we are with ourselves, is our ability to laugh at ourselves.

People need to make sure they have a good humor spark plug inside them that can be ignited at any moment when required.

Silently, sadly, the earth covered life coinage is read both ways; so much vs. so little and…so little vs. …so much!

The simple gift of giving becomes an elaborate rich aftertaste of a natural blissful feeling, lingering endlessly in my lifetime.

Just like downing a powerful caffeine drink, “reaching out to others” pays that big “life energizer dividend!

When we enter the world as a child, they say we are innocent. When we leave the world as an older adult, we have each experienced a mixture of life's sorrow and joys. The years bring diverse events and mindsets, clouding up our vision, so that we no longer see things as they are, but we view now with lenses of many different shapes, sizes and influential colors depending on life’s encounters. It is then, with this cleansing of your inner lens, that you figure out once again, who you are, resulting in numerous side trips, to rediscover your true self, possibly experiencing a reawakening. This sensational feeling of inner peace is unimaginable.

Inner peace is a quiet evening moonlight walk in the soft falling snow of our minds

Sisters and brothers just happen, we don't get to choose them, but they become one of our most cherish relationships.
