Seed tomorrow with wise happiness today!

It’s been fascinating to observe the vast differences of how people handled the realities of the last year. Our daily lives were disrupted, to say the least, and for some, the challenges of the circumstances changed their perception of time and of being forever.

Many reported feelings of loneliness, some, despair.  Others responded to the calls of their inner voice and recalibrated life itself, finding a sense of calm, meaning, and happiness not experienced in their past.  According to Psychology Today, true happiness is:

Enjoying your own company and living in peace and harmony with your body, mind and soul. True happiness is state of mind constantly being in love with yourself. For being truly happy you neither need other people nor materialistic things.

Most of us experienced an increase in the time spent in our own company. My hope is that, as you read this, you take a moment to contemplate how enjoyable that time is for you.

Life is calling . . .  Today’s the day!

Seed tomorrow with wise patience today!

How dare that guy cut me off in this crazy traffic!  Really, you’re gonna step right in front of me in this long line? Who made you God to tell me how to do this? Can you go any slower?

I’ve come to understand that we’ll only judge others as harshly as we judge ourselves. Is the same true for patience? Are we able to extend patience to another if we have none for ourselves?  Not a human exists without flaws. Our essence is made up of that which is attractive, appealing, and alluring, as well as the opposite. Serenity requires forbearance of both and in many cases, generous mercy, beyond our current capacity.

Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them … every day begin the task anew.  ~ Saint Francis de Sales

Look around and see how easy it is to observe and experience nastiness, criticism, unkindness, even cruelty. Perhaps today’s the day to turn a page to intentional compassion, encouragement, kindness, and charity. Difficult? Yes!  Worth the endeavor? I guess you decide.

Seed tomorrow with wise celebrating today!

Although Cinco de Mayo is not widely celebrated in Mexico, it is observed in the state of Puebla, in honor of General Zaragoza’s unlikely victory over the French forces of Napoleon II in 1862. However, today, people all over The States will be taking the opportunity to eat great Mexican cuisine and drink cervaza, margaritas, or tequila in some creative form. In our celebrations, let’s not forget the words of Joe Baca:

Cinco de Mayo has come to represent a celebration of the contributions that Mexican Americans and all Hispanics have made to America.   

To that, I raise my glass!  Thank you for adding to the rich texture of our culture.

Life is calling . . .  Today’s the day!
