simply stated

I've had a nice couple of days just being inside my own head -reading...writing...contemplating...adjusting...settling...compromising...
celebrating...wondering...searching...thinking...planning...treasuring...realizing.
What did I come up with?
Life can be anything
we want it to be.
Really, really think about this.
This one reflective moment is my gift to you...
how many times you turn it around
in YOUR head is your gift to yourself.

You are so right Joni. I can't believe you have only just taken a few days to find out what some of us have taken years to do. I think it is that we don't take the TIME OUT to think things through!

You have spent some time thinking about this haven't you? And it is very true, very simply stated. And it is up to us to make life what it is. God gave us the "life" what we do with it, what we make of it, is up to us. Thank you for sharing such a potent thought.

As I consider You in all that is represented by this lovely image ... my Soul whispers, "Joni, Dear Sweet Gift of Heaven ... you, in my life, have made Being Me far better. You enhance my hopes. You improve my Being. And I am grateful for your enhancing Gift of ... You."

I do love You ...

hugs to you sweet friend....so glad you had this "time" for yourself.

What a perfect picture to illustrate your past few days. I love your sumerizing thought. It is absolutely true. What we dare to dream, what we dare to believe, what we dare to step into....God gave us a full destiny packed for the taking. So often we hold ourselves back though in question nad doubt as each step is presented to us. But if we smile, step, breathe, and believe....anything is possible.
