Living In the Moment

How do you balance out your life between work and home? How do you find time to do the things you want to do? This all comes down to balance. Do you sometimes feel like that small rock in the middle of the photo above, trying to hold it all together? Have you found the secret? I would love to hear your answers ...

POSITIVE SIGN I KNEW THE TIME HAD COME TO PUT ASIDE MY TEARS I HAD TO SEE THE DAY AHEAD   WITHOUT ANY OLD FEARS I HEARD MY HEART BEATING LOUDER THAN IT SHOULD   MADE ME FEEL WEAKER KNOWING THAT I COULD ALL THE WHILE HOPING FOR A POSITIVE SIGN EASIER DAYS AHEAD WOULD SOON BE MINE DREAMING OF DAYS PAST WOULD GET ME THROUGH THE WARMTH OF LAUGHTER HAPPIER TIMES I KNEW LOOKING TO THE FUTURE I KNOW WHO I WANT TO BE PUTTING THE PAST BEHIND A SUNNY PATH TO SEE

Lately I have been thinking a lot about Time ... Time go to bed ... Time to get up ... Time to get things done ... How much time do I have left to do things I want to do? Ever wish you could freeze time? Do you ever wish there were a few more hours in a day? I enjoy the days I do not have to worry about time. I love being on vacation and actually knowing that if I look at watch, it really does not matter. Those are the best days. The days when we can enjoy every moment until the sun goes down. Tell me that last time you did not have to worry about time ... I am all ears ...

I thought this simple picture was perfect for Whimsical Wednesday. It had me thinking of what truly makes me smile ~ Spending time with Family & Friends, Photographing Nature, Writing Poetry, Cool Autumn Days - Just to name a few. What makes you smile? Who makes you smile? I would love to hear from you ...

I thought I would feature Amy Jo Johnson. I think most of you would know her from the hit tv show, "Felicity" years back, more so than a singer/songwriter. I was taken by her voice and music years ago, and I still find myself looking for her CDs today. The song entitled "Puddle of Grace" resonates with me. This song was featured on Felicity and then became a single. She also has "Clear Blue Sky", "Simple Man", "Goodbye" and "Dancing in Between". These are all favorites of mine. You can check Amy's videos on You Tube if you would like to hear these songs.

I loved this simple quote because the first question that came to mind was, Why do we have to be reminded of this? Beautiful on the Inside - Beautiful on The Outside - Beauty is everywhere ... In ourselves, in our daily lives, when we see others doing good deeds for others, etc ... I often think to myself, Less is more. Simplicity is where it is at. Two Simple Words. Two words with such heart. Do you have a two word quote that speaks to you? Stay Strong? Be You? Something Simple.
