Autumn Path

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and make a trail.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Gravity

You can't blame gravity for falling in love

The Winter Cold

Winter can get cold in the mountains where I'm from. It makes it very hard to want to go outside. It is also wonderful, though. The combination brings snow and a new kind of beauty. Some people don't like it, but I enjoy the difference between a sizzling hot summer and a snowy freezing winter.

Sister

My sister is as much a best friend as I could ever have. Then again, my best friend is much like a sister to me. Often I find it difficult to differentiate between the two. Sister and best friend, best friend and sister; they seem to go hand in hand.

Give Thanks

A thankful person will show their thanks in creative ways. They will show more love, give hugs, give service, write notes, make others happy, and be happy. Showing thanks makes us happy, as well as others. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!

There are two of me!

Life is so much work. I want to just forget it all and be my lazy, outgoing, fun-loving, care-free self. But then my organized, perfectionist, thoughtful, successful self says that it's in charge.

Music

"Soul-filled music has the capacity to wash away the dust from the human mind."
-Unknown

Music is amazing. I absolutely love it. I love being a part of it, creating it, listening to the beauty of it, enjoying it, and making others happy through it. I'm not talking about the filler noise that you play to keep the silence away. That is just annoying. I'm talking about truly beautiful music, stuff that plays with your emotions and makes you want to dance, sing, cry, create, live. Music is just one of those things that has power that no one can resist.

How do you fight an idea?

Spiritual Thought #1

Forget differences that you cannot change. Focus instead on what's important: the intent of the heart.
-Jacob 3:9-

What is Today?

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Make it good.

The rest of your life is waiting, don't look behind you except to learn from your mistakes or remember.

As Timon and Pumbaa put it:

P: You got to put your behind in your past.

T: No, You got to put your past behind you.

Relativity

What one may think is cold, another might consider warm. And what one views as amazing, another may despise. Each of our lives have been lived differently, and so each of our opinions and points of view differ accordingly. We all live in the same world, we just don't live the same way. We have no right to use this diversity to judge others. Rather we should cherish our differences as a symbol of our uniquity and love others even more for theirs.

Here is a little taste of Me:

Sometimes, when you look at something, you can't see the beauty of the little details because the big picture is overwhelming. In life, wouldn't you love to see the big picture and enjoy it as well as focus on the details, rather than getting caught up in one or the other?

One Who Is Cheerful

"Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance--the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen."
-Thomas Carlyle

Today

Look to this day. Yesterday is already a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision, but today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

A Ponder on Winter

Burning fire, so small, so sweet,
Warm my face, my hands, my feet.
Falling snowflake, crisp and white,
Cover all within my sight.
Pine tree, green, tall, prickly thing,
You have mastered everything.
Life and patience, suffering,
Standing strong, you don't need wings
To touch the sky, feel it too.
Somehow I wish I were you.
