Today's thought;

To practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness and kindness.

I remember taking this picture at Marineland 

and everywhere the mother went

 the baby followed, let's just say I was in awe.

I took this picture from 

my hotel balcony at 6:00 a.m., 

the two chairs made me wonder 

who was sitting there the night before 

and how wonderful it may have been 

to sit and listen to the water.

of course it was back in 2007, 

but looking back they just seem to make me smile.

Life

I have always viewed my life as a merry-go-round, 

you just have to know 

when to get on

 and when to get off.

Don't you just love October weather. 

October has to be my favorite month, 

the colors,

the warm breeze, 

 and you can still hear the birds in the morning.

 I love waking up 

and taking in

 the warm crisp air.

  I will let myself enjoy life and have some fun. (Inner Harvest)

Love all, 

trust a few,

 do wrong to none. 

William Shakespeare 

My decisions today will be for this day only. 

I can change my mind tomorrow.

A Life of My Own - Karen Casey

Me and Yoga

Tonight was Yoga night and on my first night a woman fell asleep 

and was snoring, 

well guess what I did it tonight. 

Not sure if it was loud, but I snored and

 startled myself and woke up.

I still enjoyed the class, no I loved the class. 

Namaste

My first Yoga class was amazing, I am glad I joined. 

There was a woman there that was so relaxed during the relaxation

 period that she fell asleep and was snoring, I giggled, 

she must have enjoyed the nap. 

The only way out is through. 

The only way to heal the

 pain is to embrace the pain.

"Everything will be alright in the end, 

 so if it's not alright, it's not the end."

Quote from "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"

                                         It took me a long time to realize that 
                                          when I hate somebody 
                                            it doesn't hurt them. 
                                                      Only me.

"I don't really believe in accidents. I think fate's behind everything." 

I want to change things.

I want to see things happen.

I don't want just to talk about them.

  --John Kenneth Galbraith

I did it

I finally signed up for yoga after a very, very, very, very, long time of making excuses. 

Today's Thought;

Easy Does It

Dear God,

Help me remember to take things slowly for spiritual progress requires time for growth. Maturity is not an overnight miracle. Help me to be productive and keep me from procrastinating or being impatient and rushing ahead too quickly. I will remind myself today not to push myself faster than I need to go.

I won't push the river, I'll let it flow

(From; 12 step prayer book)
