Wednesday Wisdom

Seed tomorrow with wise Thanksgiving today

Melody Beattie writes of this thing called Thanksgiving in a way worth reading:

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Or, as Sam Lefkowitz states:  When asked if my cup is half-full or half-empty my only response is that I am thankful I have a cup.

May we wake up every morning and focus on what we do have in life, grateful for the blessings of the many little things. May we lay our heads down at night in reflection of the same.

Meister Eckhart reminds us:  If the only prayer you said in your life was ‘Thank you,’ that would suffice.

Happy, Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate . . . today and everyday!

 

Life is calling . . .  Today’s the day . . . Make this moment matter!! 

Learn Lavishly. Live Significantly. Leave a Legacy.

Seed tomorrow with wise relationships today

This week, Curt and I celebrate our 45th anniversary in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Time to transport our frigid Michigan bones from the snow to soak in warmth, relax and reflect. Together for 10 years before saying “I do” puts us at 5 and a half decades together!  Who knew?

Upon reflection, perhaps Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot wrote it best:

What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life–to strength each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?

Curt and the family we created are definitely the “we in me” as Joseph Campbell stated so beautifully. I understand  I’m blessed, I am beyond grateful, and I remain mindful of what it takes to continue to grow together with respect and cherish. Prayers for many, many more blessed years.

Seed tomorrow with wise action today

The last time we were in NYC, we passed a sandwich board outside a restaurant that read:

Your beliefs don’t make you a better person, your behavior does.

Resolute values. Purposeful movement. Intentional actions. Life changing.

 

Life is calling . . .  Today’s the day . . . Make this moment matter!! 

Learn Lavishly. Live Significantly. Leave a Legacy.

Seed tomorrow with wise direction today

Have you ever felt lost, turned around, on the wrong track, or have a sense of “it’s too late?”

No matter how long you have traveled in the wrong direction, you can always turn around.

The question is: Which way would I prefer to go now?  Move in that direction  . . . one step after another. Now.

 

Life is calling . . .  Today’s the day . . . Make this moment matter!!
