The simplicity of all things
Things that should never be taken for granted
As they can all be taken away in an unforseen instant
That is how life works

The simplicity of all things
Things that should never be taken for granted
As they can all be taken away in an unforseen instant
That is how life works
Taking the road less traveled.
Time to reflect.
Time to reset.
Time to recharge.
Sometimes the pain we endure is put upon by ourselves.
Healing occurs when we allow it to begin.
Inner strength, patience, determination and love play important roles to Father Time.
It starts and ends with you.
Family of new and old.
Time spent together.
Celebration of life to come.
A beautiful feeling.
Abundance of gratefulness.
Fifty-five years ago, I was born the youngest of three children. I was quiet and shy, but I loved to perform dance. I was a perfectionist, and still am. Life happens, marriage happens, children happen, divorce happens. Life is challenging, but I’ve learned that I can only sacrifice so much of myself. I’ve learned that I need to fully respect myself and treat myself accordingly. Only I can make myself happy, but having the perfect partner, my current husband, helps tremendously. Happy Birthday to me.
The sky gives so much.
Feel emotion in the clouds.
Feel warmth in the sun.
Feel calm in the still.
Let your heart soak in it.
I miss living closer to beaches, and being able to go to my favorite on a whim’s notice. My calm place of serenity. I miss my family and friends. I have missed out on several gatherings because of financial restraints. I am grateful for the family and friends near me now, but it’s not the same. I am not the same.
A year ago, which I can’t believe!! . . Resting my weary legs and old, aching back in between rides at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Although, this is more than likely an accidental picture taken, I like how the trees cast shadows to provide shade on that warm, Southern California day.
The pier, it is a place where people like to gather. You can gather your thoughts and evaluate your life. The experience can be self transforming, Walking its planks while absorbing the ocean scene, the sandy beach, the seagulls and its breathtaking surroundings is one of life’s simple pleasures. Listening to the roaring sounds of the ocean waves methodically calms your soul. The scent of salt in the air brings about a refreshing change or outlook on just about anything that ails you. Indulgence without guilt.
Although, it’s technically considered “hump day”, I was not pleased to have to deal with a hurdle today. I was so close to being in tears, but I gave myself a pep talk, and just dealt with it. As a result, other positive things transpired. Sorry, Wednesday, but nothing is going to ruin my day or night.
