Feed Your Soul

Along the way To make your day When you feel old and gray Do what you might do what you may Don't lose sight of your way Let things lay but continue to fight and do not stay in anything that does not give you joy because in the end you will know the path you took was the right way to make your future bright and full of light! Just some morning thoughts and reflections of how I am feeling today. It felt so good to get back to work this week! It was as good as a weekend in Disney! I love to have some solitude in my life, but working with the public is very satisfying. My sleep is much better. My mind is more relaxed. And, my feeling of optimism gets stronger every day. I think it is really important to go places that put us in a feeling of awe. Having and raising twins gave me that feeling every day, and still does. But, as they are adults, each year it gets harder and harder to see them in person. Always thankful that in these same ten years there is social media. I get to see a lot of what they are up to in pictures and videos. I have had an abundance of loss these past couple of years. But, yet I feel I have been able to fill my cup at the same time. My mom is gone, but I had the birth of grandson. Many of my losses were out of my control. But, some were of my making and I was in total control. And, at the same time to do some things for myself I wouldn't normally do. First, I reached out to friends and asked for help. That was a BIG deal for me, as I always think I can do or fix things myself. Second, when I was with them we did some great things for whatever was needed at the time. I needed to feel calm......lavender fields! I needed to feel bright.....sunflower fields in the rain! I needed to feel loved and young....a visit and lots of smiles from my grandson. I needed to feel awe......Disney! Oh, I needed to feel full and rid myself of the overwhelming feeling of emptiness....the food and wine festival at Epcot. I wanted to feel bubbly......drank sprarkling wine! I guess what I am trying to say is to feel the feels. And, try not to run away from anything that needs to be adressed, but definitely feed the soul. Don't let your soul run on empty. Listen to music, watch a good movie, take a walk by the ocean. But, don't lose hope! Hope is everything! Don't lose faith! Faith is everything. And, love...well that is something I am working on. Love is the answer....I always thought. But, it is the word that is hurting me the most right now. So, I still have a lot of work to do, to make that right. And, that is ok. I know I am doing my best to try to give love and recieve love. And, not let the anger and hate take over my life. Quote of the day: Somehow I can’t believe that there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy.
