There are days when we have so much on our plate that we feel rushed to get them all done… Today, I re-mind myself to be in the moment as I work through my day, for it is in the moment that we accomplish all things.
A few years ago an old friend from high school told me that he always admired me because I had “tenacity.” It was a great compliment that has stuck with me ever since. Tenacity is what drives us forward everyday…
“I bless the steely temper of my will. The steel of my resolve graces me with tenacity, blesses me with endurance, and assures me of success. My will is a potent force which carries me in the direction of good. As I set my will on worthy objectives and goals, as I focus my will and act in accordance with its desires, I find myself moving effectively and powerfully in the world. My will is rooted in divine guidance and expressed as right action. My will is a sword that cuts away difficulties and defends the values I cherish. I bless my will for its very willingness to bless me.” – Julia Cameron – Blessings: Prayers and Declarations for a Heartful Life
“Great and soulful events–falling in love, opening to the Beyond-Within, the birth of ideas and babies–march to no tick-tock but appear in their own good time, when the heart is prepared and the moment is ripe.” – Sam Keen: Hymns to an Unknown God: Awakening The Spirit In Everyday Life
I’ve always been partial to the low tide at the beach, for when the ocean recedes for a few hours twice daily for the low tide exposes an expansive beach that becomes a playground of earthly and aquatic delights. The landscape changes, tidal pools form, and a treasure trove of shells, stones, beach glass worn smooth, drift wood, sea weed and other offerings from the ocean appear on the sand, waiting patiently to be claimed once again by the sea, or to be pocketed by a beachcomber who will revere that object with special memories for a long time to come.
Today, I re-mind myself that I have a full and rich life, filled with blessings large and small. I am grateful for the challenges of each day and welcome new opportunities to learn and grow. Each day is a blessing, my heart is my compass. ~ Pamela J. Leavey
Today I re-mind myself that moving forward with my life sometimes means moving through difficult times and phases. I recognize that which brings me pain and sorrow and strive each day to release it to the universe until it is but a memory of the past. ~ Pamela J. Leavey
Sometimes I muse and I ramble because I can... I muse about life and things that matter to me...
