Above all,

who you are,
what you are,
what you believe,
shine through ..."

"If you teach people to keep their eyes upon what others think of them, unthinkingly to lead the lives and hold the principles of the majority of their contemporaries, you must discredit in their own eyes the authoritative voices of their own souls.  They may be docile citizens; they will never be men and women.  It is ours, on the other hand, to disregard this babble and chattering of other people better and worse than we are, and to walk straight before us by what light we have.  They may be right; but so, before heaven, are we.  They may know; but we know also, and by that knowledge we must stand or fall.  There is such a thing as loyalty to one's own better self; and from those who have not that, God help me, how am I to look for loyalty to others?"
              
~Robert Louis Stevenson

You are something new in this world.  Be glad of it.  Make the most of what nature gave you.  In the last analysis, all art is autobiographical. You can sing only what you are.  You can paint only what you are.  You must be what your experiences, your environment, and your heredity have made you.  For better or for worse, you must cultivate your own little garden.  For better or for worse, you must play your own little instrument in the orchestra of life.

~Dale Carnegie

Hey Sweetie,
             
Happy Monday!!!
            
It's gonna be WET today!
:  )
That became our theme today
                  
I hope you had a good weekend
Did you go out for dinner?
Did you do something creative?
Did you go Camping???
:  )
I had a VERY good weekend
My Razorbacks won!!!
It was an ugly game
Between two struggling teams
BUT
We were down 31-7 in the 2nd quarter
And we fought and clawed our way back
And WON the game 38 - 37
On a last second, game-winning Field Goal
The only time we led in the game 
was the last four seconds of the game
I am very proud of the team
For their perseverance
           


I also watched season 2 of
STRANGER THINGS on NetFlix
And like potato chips
I couldn't watch just one
I BINGED!!! The WHOLE THING! Non-stop!
I really enjoyed it.
           
I wish you a beautiful day, my Friend

I invite you to join me now in this short Metta Prayer
Radiating the energy of peace and love out to all living beings
Take a few deep breaths to clear your mind
And focus on the here and now
This present moment
Now
Breathe in
Filling your being with peace and love
As you begin each line, breathe out slowly
Breathing these thoughts into the world
Reading, thinking, and feeling the words with peace and love
Sending them from your heart
Giving the energy to yourself and to all living beings
Breathe in and repeat the process for each line

"If we knew
the true power of belief and positive thinking,
we would never have a negative thought."

           
~Susan Santucci
         
~*~
           
“People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action.”  

~ Steve Maraboli
          
~*~
         
"There is a deep tendency in human nature to become precisely what we imagine or picture ourselves to be. We tend to equate with our own self-appraisal of either depreciation or appreciation. We ourselves determine either self-limitation or unlimited growth potential. . . . The  positive thinkers constantly send out positive thoughts, together with vital mental images of hope, optimism, and creativity. They therefore activate the world around them positively and strongly tend to draw back to themselves positive results. This is a basic law of mind action. . . . The positive principle is based on the fact that there is always an answer, a right answer, and that positive thinking through a sound intellectual process can always produce that answer."

~Norman Vincent Peale

The Gift of Caring
by Arthur Gordon
                     
"Most of us spend our lives trying to escape from self-centeredness.  Maybe that's the whole point, the whole challenge, what the whole thing is all about.  Some of us succeed better than others.  It seems to me that the ones who have the most success are those who somehow turn self-caring into what might be called other-caring.

It takes courage to be an other-carer, because people who care run the risk of being hurt.  It's not easy to let your guard down, open your heart, react with sympathy or compassion or indignation or enthusiasm when usually it's much easier--and sometimes much safer--not to get involved.

But people who take the risk make a tremendous discovery:  the more things you care about, and the more intensely you care, the more alive you are.

This capacity for caring can illuminate any relationship:  marriage, family, friendships--even the ties of affection that often join humans and animals.  Each of us is born with some of it, but whether we let it expand or diminish is largely up to us.

To care, you have to surrender the armor of indifference.  You have to be willing to act, to make the first move.  Once at sunset my small daughter and I were watching the tide come in.  It was a quiet evening, calm and opalescent.  The waves sent thin sheets of molten gold across the dry sand--closer and closer.  Finally, almost like a caress, an arm of the ocean curled around the base of the dune.  And my daughter said, pensively, "Isn't it wonderful--how much the sea cares about the land?"

She was right, with the infallible instinct of childhood:  It was a kind of caring.  The land was merely passive--and so it waited.  But the sea cared--and so it came.  The lesson was all there in that lovely symbol:  the willingness to act, to approach, to be absorbed, and in the absorption--to be fulfilled."
               
~Arthur Gordon
