I figure it is coming, whether I am ready or not!
This year... I plan to art daily, journal daily, and keep a positive outlook on life!
What more can a gal plan!
Seems to me, that if we worry and fret too much about things we cannot ( or should not) change, we waste the energy needed to change the things that need changing!
Simplicity is my key... and daily tasks that may seem small at the time, form wonderfully healthy habits that improve life in general, for self and others!
Walking just 10-15 minutes daily...
Eating less sugar (just a bit of sweet is not terrible!)...
Less white flour, more whole wheat...
A calm thought that will bring your day toward "a very good day"
And a gift for someone else, as small as a mini hug, or a smiling nod to a driver that needs to enter the traffic lane ...
Each small thing we accomplish can add up to a better day!
If you are reading this, ask yourself what you might do today, to make someone else's day "just a bit easier, happier, less tense..." It will snowball into an amazing event for the world~ Begin now... ( and by the beginning of 2007... you will be right on track for a GREAT NEW YEAR!!!
Have a nice day! Create a nice day!
Contemplation of Communications
My head sometimes races with emotions that would literally crash and burn if I were to let them loose!
I am learning it is okay to have these moments of ranting emotions, inside. I work with them, I work on them, I defuse them... all within my thought processes.
Others sometimes want ( or need) to be reassured with words, that I am not ready to give. I am the neutralizer, according to many, and I may be just that. I am also a self neutralizer. This is something people are not seeing, or hearing. It takes much energy to neutralize some thoughts, so I do not blow, and hurt others unnecessarily. But I believe it is best. I believe it is best for myself and others. People might argue that it "is better to get these things out". My question would be, At who's expense?
Sometimes silent neutralizing is good for all concerned. As long as it is a process that brings inner peace. Honestly letting go, and moving on, is often the answer.
I do believe it is very possible, and often better for some past events to be "let go", not mutilated with discussions. Moving forward, accepting change, and allowing self, and others to live peacefully in the future.
My gramma taught me, ( and I believe it to be a very good lesson):
"There are people in the world that believe they need something from you, when in reality they need something from within themselves. It is not your job to make them feel better, when they need to find out what is going on inside themselves."
I hope to live up to these words. It is not easy, but it is well worth following this lesson.

Why We" Make Life More Difficult than it Needs to Be"
Sometimes we make life much more difficult , than it needs to be. Over thinking, over worrying, over controlling.
I am beginning to realize that by simplifying my needs, and accepting the needs of others, I am a much happier person.
Each morning, I take time to write down 3 things I would like to accomplish in the day.
I have made a conscious decision to do this daily, and I am finding it is helping me to priotritize, and accomplish more daily.
It is also making me take into account the fact that I am ONLY in Control of myself, and that is good.
I decide what I will do each day,
or Not Do...
( which is sometimes more important than the doing list)
to create a more peaceful inner being, and hope that this will, in turn, create more peace among my friends and family.
Simplify.
Believe in your daily goals.
Take into account how others are affected by your actions, or inactions.
Do be aware.
Do be in control of yourself, not others.
Live each day with inner peace; it will show up on the outside, if it is inside.

Lives Touching Lives
I believe there is a reason for lives touching lives.
For every person you meet, be very aware of your actions, as they have consequences. If you are not sure of yourself, if you have questions unanswered, take the time to know in your heart, that what you do next... will have an impact on others.
I believe it is better to take small steps forward, or even stand still, until you find the best path to take, to move in a positive direction... for your own benefit as well as the other lives you will affect by moving forward.
Stepping stones across the rivers are not always stable. Step lightly, until you know your footing is secure.
Lives touching Lives... is a responsibility to be taken seriously. Ask yourself daily, " Is what I am about to say, or do ... going to have a good end result, or am I going to hurt others unnecessarily? How can I move forward, in a more positive way, to help the people I love?
If you cannot say, or do something to better a situation, it is sometimes best to quietly walk in the woods, until an answer comes. True solitude, and silence is a friend to uncertainty.
