This is your life...


Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken
Don’t close your eyes, don’t close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you’ve got now...Yeah,
and today is all you’ll ever have
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose...
~Switchfoot; "This is Your Life"


*****
Those lyrics were playing today when I crested a rather steep hill this morning and the sunlight hit my face with an almost mystical timing. The combination of the brilliant sunshine, the perfect timing with the lyrics, and the wonderment by me of where my life is and is headed almost had me tearing up. There are some moments where you just have to sigh deeply because they’re so beautiful that they’re almost profound in their wisdom. I find these moments to be times when something tells me to stop, and listen.

There are messages everyday if we listen to them. They don’t have to be neon signs flashing to get your attention; I mean they don’t even have to be spoken messages for you to hear them. Sometimes the messages are just balmy breezes refreshing your skin & spirit when you least expect them. Or perhaps the message is sunlight draping its way through the shadows finding you even as you’re hidden or mired down in darkness. They can even be the message of love offered in a simple texted hug.

Miracles happen everyday.

I don’t pretend to know all the answers to life, hell I can’t even straighten my own out sometimes. I have no idea about politics, wouldn’t know how to debate religion, and have no clue what I’m here for. But sometimes on a morning like this when something as simple as a morning drive with music can move me so, I get a glimpse of what’s important. A glimpse of what’s inherent to our very souls but that life tries to shut out. Even so, this “glimpse” is still all part of the wheel of life we’re on. I’m happy for the view today.

Sounds stupid eh?

Well for now, it’s what I feel, and I’m sharing it with you *smile*

Have a great day everyone! (I may post again later)

WELL WISHES

I've been asked why I barely separate out the well wishes. To be honest, the list got too long :P It was taking me loinger to do the well wishes section than the whole post! On one hand I would LOVE to recognize people individually, on the other Crony at work here watches me so I had to accomodate some changes ;) Iwould love to offer EVERYONE well wishes personally. I love to do it. It makes me happy to do it. So on occasion I will do them individually, but for the time being I'll send EVERYONE blessings and wishes en masse. Never fear, I care for you all :)

Today's wish for everyone: May you all somewhere, sometime today see something unexpected and beautiful. May it bring you a smile and give you a tangible memory to hold onto today and other days as needed to bring you light when you need it

AND REMEMBER

“A computer terminal is not some clunky old television with a typewriter in front of it. It is an interface where the mind and body can connect with the universe and move bits of it about.” ~Douglas Adams

I really liked this post -- and I don't think your thoughts sound silly.
It's really important to "keep in all in perspective" (which is so much easier said than done!) and your post helped me to remember that today.

Ah...music again...weaving its way through our lives. This song goes along with today's post on Digital Soup as well, which always starts my day off on the right foot, setting me up for the best view from where I'm at on the wheel

Jules, what a wonderfully sweet thing to say :) Thank you!

I'm glad you enjoy it!

This is 47

In my acquired wisdom I've accepted: 1. That it's OK to admit I like girly things 2. That it's OK I didn't post this ON...
