Happy Saturday everyone! The kickoff to the NASCAR season is Sunday down in Daytona, music, cars, loudness, strategy and 500 miles of racing. This is like thier superbowl weekend to start the year off. Good stuff, I must admit I like to watch racing for the action, so I DVR and fast forward till thier is a crash or the last 20 laps. In high speed you can watch a 4 hour race in under a hour. LOL.
Speaking of high speed, the winds last night and today are intense. My hammock has been knocked over 2x now. Full moon last night with high winds had a special feel to it.
This weekend I am alone, Janice and Tori made the trip to Michigan to see Blake so I have the house to myself. Ok, 2 dogs and 2 cats are here as well. LOL but for the most part they can be very self serving until feeding time. Must say I miss Janice and Tori but hey thats a good thing right.
Today I thought of the feelings we feel in a week, the joy, and at times even I can get worried or concerned more than I like to admidt. I know and understand that any storm I am in it will pass, the winds may blow and the rain my fall but the storm it goes away in its due time.
Your storms are like that as well, I promise.
The depth of everyones storm are different.
Like the video yesterday the two people featured in my post had very different storms at various degrees of depth.
Tamara Jolee had her storm with advanced cancer and Brian Welch had his storm with drugs and fame. We all can relate with both at times. No may we don't have cancer or addictions to drugs but the pain from our storms have a profound effect on our spirit and soul.
The depth of our faith and the depth of our belief in ourselves will help have importance in how we deal with life. We must have these two key particles in our soul and spirit to overcome and out last that battle that we face.
Depth of these two foundations faith and belief in ourselves must be in place. These are not an option they are a must.
The next step is to be involved with others, we can't isolate ourselves in our own world. We must step out of it and learn that others have pain, joy, storms, rainbows, laughter and tears. When we acknowledge these realities we can start to make a difference with another spirit, another soul and make our own storm start to dwindle by the actions we share with another.
Thats really 3 simple steps to make that storm less painful, less impactful and move along a little quicker.
Faith and prayer
Belief in ourselves
Getting involved with others and
making a difference in thier lives.
Sounds simple, yeah. But at times it is simple not to do as well.
Practice the art of doing. Take that first step and then the next, and then another, and another and soon you will see the power in taking possibility into the depths of your spirit.
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
Till next time......Smile!!! : )
