Sometimes there’s no words required.  When was the last time you rolled down a hill?  Such fun.

October 23, 2010 - Road Trips

I took the kids on a mini road trip today.  Just me.  And them.

We had a picnic in the car and hung out the three of us.  Visited my sister.

It was the first time I’ve ever been just the three of us overnight.

I'm glad we did it.  It wasn’t perfect.  But we did it.  And that was kind of cool.

October 22, 2010 - Perspective?

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about perspective.
Depending upon what set of glasses you’re wearing, the perspective you carry will be completely different.
And more than that… generally speaking, as long as you are genuine with your perspective, I believe it is important to remember that one perspective isn’t better than another- just different.
The positivity to this thought, on this day, is that this little spot, here, on my computer, where for some reason I share thoughts and ideas each day, encourages my mind to think, to question, to search and to wonder.   And that is a positive thing.

October 21, 2010 – Things that last

“Tough times never last, but tough people do”-
Robert H. Schuller

I wish I could say I found this myself, being as appropriate and as valuable a statement as it is.  I didn’t.  Stole it from a girl on facebook.   I loved it so much I thought I’d share here.

October 20, 2010 – Yoga-licious

I take yoga.  Sometimes daily.  As often as I can.   I have found my favorite yoga instructor and there I sit, like a sponge, soaking up all she has to say, to demonstrate, to teach.

Below is a quote she ends each class with and one I try to remember more and more each day.  I think it holds a lot of truth and is important to at least hear once. 

Enjoy- allowing me to share a moment of  my yogaliciousness today.

“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”

October 19, 2010 – I see the Moon…

I see the Moon… the moon sees me….

I was unwinding from the day, relaxing in a hot bathtub.  From where I was I could see out of my window… this new window, this newly remodeled bathroom, the reward of many months of renovations… a material possession, if you will, this bathroom, and certainly something I could live without-- but also a luxury that I appreciate daily.   Looking out from this special spot of mine was when I found another wonderful surprise.

Through the cracks of the wooden blinds I looked out and saw a dark night sky and a bright white full moon.  It was breathtakingly beautiful, perfectly exposed through the small slit and was a moment of the day I instantly knew I wanted to remember for as long as I could.  

A daily sight, I suppose… the moon.   But for me, on this night, it was a moment to recognize, to remember and to appreciate.
