I like to think about this saying and apply it to many areas of my life. I try to stay positive for my family and friends. I like to see the good in people, I like to think good things will happen. As I have said before, this year has tested my beliefs, but I do know that things happen for a reason. I do not always understand why things happen, but clarity comes within time. I like to be surrounded by people who think positively and even believe in things, just because - not with any real proof. Living a positive life, brings more positivity ... Are you a believer in this?
It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...
Absolutely yes Kristine! Its not always easy but sooo important xo
