Looking through the glass

Day one ~ a new month, a new day, a new set of downs, just like football.   I wanted to sleep in today but I awoke with this post in my heart and instead of going back to sleep and catching some zzzzz's here I am typing it out for you to read now or many days later. (Its fun to type these out and know that anyone could read these, days, weeks, generations later.)

I like that, who needs sleep...lol.

A quote....

“Just look down the road and tell me if you can see either of them."

I see nobody on the road." said Alice.

I only wish I had such eyes,"the King remarked in a fretful tone. "To be able to see Nobody! And at such a distance too!”

― Lewis Carroll

Oh if we could see the future, if we could look down the road and see anything that would lead us, I guess that is why we have God and why we pray the Lord's Prayer....

'...And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'

That will have to do....we have our heart, our feelings and our little voice inside that says 'wait, stop, think first'...sometimes we just don't listen or pray first.

Stop...Listen....Pray...Give thanks...Ask for wisdom.

Who does not love to go to the zoo or pet store.  All the cute, cuddly and you just want to love animals.  They put this glass many times in between us.  They even ask us not to tap on the glass...and what to almost all of us do...tap..tap, tap... What the animals on the other side must think.

My thought today is what if you had the chance to tap, tap, tap on our glass that surrounds your world.  What would you think about you? What would you say about now?

We all think in that world of me, our ego drives us to the next destination that it sees fit for us.  We go along, playing our song and sometimes on auto pilot we just do with out much thought. We just do....

Here is a thought, what if we slowed down just a bit, and took a small leap, for some a giant leap, outside our ego and tapped on our glass.  What if we asked these four little questions.

What are you doing?

What do you really want?

Are you on the road to getting there?

What would you do if you were free?

Think about it, during your next major event in your life, take sometime and tap, tap, tap....and look from the outside looking in at your event.

What are you doing?

Is it really in line with your goals, do you have goals written down? Do you think your on the right path and direction?

What do you really want?

A quick review of your actions, thoughts and feelings right now. What if anything is in conflict with what your really want for you.

Are you on the road to getting there?

A change of direction if needed?  A prayer to ask for wisdom?  A stop and lets slow it down a bit maybe sort of action.  If you listen and truly listen to that still soft voice from within you will make the right choice.  Oh it may not be popular with your ego self but it will be right.

Is it not what you truly want, to be right, to do right for you?

Last question as you tap, tap, tap on your looking glass.

What would you do if you where free?

Stop, your saying, what do you mean by that...I am free...right?

We all have things that bind us, slow us down, prevent us from unstoppable bliss.  Maybe its fear, the unknown, our health, our feeling of wanting more....  These things can bind us, slow us down, cause us to feel caged.

So what of it?  What if you where free of these things, what if you just woke up one day, one moment, one minute and said ....

I am free!

Free from fear.

Free from worry.

Free from taking care of stuff that I know pass over to God.

Lord give me wisdom, give me that wisdom in my interaction with others today.  Help me Lord, to leave any worries, any fears, any illness with your loving touch.

Help me Lord to make a difference, to shine my light, to inspire another to smile, to be whole again.

A simple prayer, but a prayer that in the end says I am now free.

Tap, tap, tap.....everyone should look through there own glass once in awhile.  You might just see what Alice in the quote from the start didn't see......seeing something is always better than not looking at all.

Dream ~ Smile ~ Laugh~ Love always

and as always smiles sent out to you!  : )

Your first steps of the morning


Follow the Yellow Brick Road..... A suggestion made to Dorothy and her crew during the movie the Wizard of OZ.  She did not get any other directive, not go through the mud, follow the yellow brick road.  She followed and found the wizard of OZ.  The movie ends happily.
Now if there really was a yellow brick road in life I would take it in a heartbeat and 2x on Sunday.  Just because it sounds like fun.
We do have a choice on which road we take the high road of happiness and joy. The road of making a difference to help someone, to assist with a smile, a kind word or maybe just the road of prayer and gratitude and some laughter along the way.
We have a choice.
We also can choose the opposite.  The road of hate, fear, revenge.  This road leads us to more of the same,  The road of anger, jealousy, envy can be a rocky and treacherous road indeed.
We make a choice each day.
Inspect and reflect on the choices you have made.  Don't live in the past, but understand that the past has taken you to the destination that you are today.
The decisions we make right not will change our course.
Choose love not hate.
Choose kindness not something less.
Choose to smile not moan and groan.
Choose to make a difference not wallow in the mud and do nothing.
It will make a hug difference in your next destination.
Positive energy give positive results.
A quote about energy and choice:
The longer I live, the more I am certain that the great difference between
the great and insignificant is energy - invincible determination -
a purpose once fixed and then death or victory.
~ Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton
Stay focused and stay determined to live with love and joy.
Prayer, Spoken Gratitude and Laughter on the first steps of your morning.
Watch the day come alive with your energy, try it and see for yourself!
May your day be blessed : )

When pausing at that mirror


That today and everyday you look in your mirror, smile at your reflection, look into your heart, search your soul, give praise to God above and love it all.  My wish for you today and everyday.
Give thanks, share love, dream always and  smile forever.

How many of us really take the time to look into our eyes, look deep into those thoughts and dreams and take a inspection of what we carry with us.
What do you carry with you each day?

What do you project?  What vibes do you send out and what energy is turned from it.
We all should take the time to reflect and inspect our heart, desires and actions and look from above the energy we project out into the world.
A quote on reflection from Confucius:
By three methods we may learn wisdom:
First, by reflection, which is noblest;
Second, by imitation, which is easiest;
and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Reflection that image is not always clear on first glance, many times we need to inspect closer because the first image we see if we see it at all can be done with a glance, its that deep inspection that will help us understand our spirit and soul.
As social beings we live with our eyes upon our reflection,
but have no assurance of the tranquillity of the waters in which we see it.
~ Charles Horton Cooley
Prayer and a quiet spirit, one that listens when it does not want to.  A spirit that searches even though it is unsure what it will find.  A spirit that loves even when it feels unloved.
True magic to implant this spirit in your being, to live with kindness even though we live in an unkind world.
We are the music-makers,
We are the dreamer of dreams.
~ Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy
So on with your day, but stop on the mirror on your way.
Time more than a striking glance, smile this is your chance.
Look deep into those eyes, that is where your spirit truly lies.
At rest and at play, make the most of it this is your day.
Love, Dream, and Care make the most of what you share.
