Life is short, spring into action and live today’s beginning
God gave us these lives to learn in, to grow in, and to love in. Don’t rush through them. There is no place that you need to be except where you are right now. You were meant to experience life, to cherish life, and to enjoy life: not to hurry through life.
Your life is meant to be a journey of love and happiness not a race to some unseen finish line. Take your time and rejoice in every second that you are given here. Then when you look back on the life you have lived you will see a million moments of love and not a blur of wasted years.

GOOD MORNING !
I know that I'm far too often trying to accomplish as much as I can with the short time that I've been granted on this planet. I often feel that I should spend more time sitting at the table and just enjoying the fact of being, without putting any expectations or worries on myself.
But life intrudes, and bills must be paid and other people have expectations of me that must be fulfilled. Sometimes I just need to sit down and relax and wait for my heart and soul to slow down enough and open up enough to see and understand and accept what life is offering to me.
That is not an easy thing to do. I had the great joy of having a visit from my two sisters last evening. We sat at the table and chatted and drank our good coffee and laughed a lot. My youngest sister brought by some ice cream too ! I wouldn’t trade that for any of the other things I might have done. Wednesday evenings are very often laundry time for me, but that will wait for another day and I loved being together with my sisters for sure. It did my heart some good and probably my soul too.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
When one cannot be sure that there are many days left, each single day becomes as important as a year, and one does not waste an hour in wishing that the hours were longer, but simply fills it, like a smaller cup, as high as it will go without spilling over.

May your day be filled with blessings
As new as Spring
As fragrant as flowers
As full as your heart can hold.
