Underneath The Noise
Hearing The Whisper

You may have noticed that if you want to speak to someone in a noisy, crowded room, the best thing to do is lean close and whisper. Yelling in an attempt to be louder than the room’s noise generally only hurts your throat and adds to the chaos. Similarly, that still, small voice within each of us does not try to compete with the mental chatter on the surface of our minds, nor does it attempt to overpower the volume of the raucous world outside. If we want to hear it, no matter what is going on around us or even inside us, we can always tune in to that soft voice underneath the surrounding noise.

LADIES!!! Remember…a layer of dust protects the Wood beneath it.

‘A house becomes a home when you can write ‘I love you’ on the furniture.’

+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+

I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure things were just perfect - ‘in case someone came over’
Finally I realized one day that no-one came over; they were all out living life and having fun!
NOW, when people visit, I don’t have to explain the ‘condition’ of my home
They are more interested in hearing about the things I’ve been doing while I was away living life and having fun.
If you haven’t figured this out yet, please heed this advice.

The Weight Of The Past
Regret

Holding onto regret is like dragging the weight of the past with us everywhere we go. It drains our energy, leaving less available for life in the present because we are constantly feeding an old issue. This attachment can cause illness the same way watering a dead plant creates decay. We know that something new and beautiful can grow in its place if we only prepare the soil and plant the right seeds. We also know that we create our lives from our thoughts, so dwelling on the past may actually recreate a situation in our lives where we are forced to make the choice again and again. We can choose to move on right now by applying what we have learned to the present and perhaps even sharing with others, transforming the energy into something that is constructive and creative for ourselves and others.

“It’s LOVE that make the world go ’round . . . !”

Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little

bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.

Today’s Hearty Meal Of Truth

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (1 Cor 13 v. 4-8)

“A man must live like a great, bright flame and
burn as brightly as he can.
In the end, he burns out. But this is better than
a mean, little flame.” ~ Boris Yeltsin
