ability accepting ahead equally friend lesson struck timely today truth
I was struck today with a realization that a friend had way ahead of me. I was equally struck by his ability to live his truth while still accepting me as I was ...a timely lesson for Jan.
beauty inside love
Love really does make everything beautiful, from the inside out.
deterrent launching seen settling
I have, in the past, seen settling down as a deterrent to growth. It doesn't have to be, though. It can be the launching of new growth.
lose miss newness nurture
If I nurture the newness while I have it, perhaps, I won't lose it at least not for something less. And if I nurture what I keep, perhaps, I won't miss what I have lost.

There can be a fine line between determination to see the best in somebody and expecting him to change.

I took a day of solitude today. We know what we need. Taking it is delightful.

The best advice we can give ourselves is the loving advice we'd give somebody else. I can get some great clarity during my own workshops.

easy foundation growing love loving relationship somebody strong trust
It's easy for me to have a relationship with God. I know I can trust him ... to be there, to do the right thing, to love me. And, it's easy for me to have a relationship with me. I know I can trust me ù not to be perfect, but to keep growing in that direction. And when I find somebody else I can trust, I have a strong foundation for a loving relationship.

amazing coming deeper determined simply struck time worry
It's amazing how my words, I am not determined to do good, but to be good, from The Person I Don't Have Time To Be have struck me on a deeper level. When I am good, I don't have to try to do good. When I am love, I don't have to worry about coming from love. I simply need to be who I am.

afraid beneath fall fallen falling giving ground necessary ok productive remind
When I'm not afraid to fail, I wont. When I'm not afraid to fall down, falling down won't feel like failure. I have fallen down enough to get more comfortable with it, to know how productive it can be, how necessary it is to growth. Still, when I sense the ground beneath me giving way, I have to remind myself that it's OK if I falter. I have to remind myself that it's more than OK!
easy greet heaven jumping lovely majesty ocean reminds rise shower start sun wake watching
Watching the sun rise over the ocean is making it easy for me to wake up and get out of bed. I'm not jumping up to take a shower or go to work. I'm jumping up to greet the majesty of the day, of God, of me. The majesty reminds me that God's in his heaven ... and so am I. And, heaven is a lovely place to start the day, a lovely place to live.
