ONLY CLOWNS JUGGLE

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday.  When did life get so busy?  I blame it on technology.  While advancements in our world including technology made our lives easier in many ways it also made it harder.  We are accessible twenty-four hours a day.  If you don't believe me, go on Facebook at 3:00 in the morning or go to your email and I bet a nocturnal being sent you something.  

When daylight comes and we see those emails we often wonder if anyone ever sleeps but it also makes us feel as though we better start our day no matter what time it is OR we better make sure our day doesn't end too early.  

When my dad came home from work, his day was done.  He would walk up the stairs, hang up his coat and get ready for dinner.  After dinner it was time for relaxing.  Email didn't exist nor did work after work.  Those days are long gone.  We seem to be working harder and longer than ever BUT a few of us have noticed that keeping up that kind of pace is draining and what we really need is a work/life balance.

Today's quote is, "Leave the juggling to the clowns - life is not a juggle but a balance."  We need to work, and we need to play.  We need to pay our bills and we need to dip our toes in the sand.  All work and no play make us bitter, angry, resentful and plain old tired.  We are not performance animals.  We are human beings in need of proper balance in our lives so that we cannot just exist but really and truly live!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM

 Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday.  Everyone has goals.  Everyone!   A goal could be as simple as waking up an hour earlier every day to running a 5K.  Running a 5K for me would be really hard.  I hate running.  Waking up an hour earlier is an attainable goal for me because I am a morning person.  

Today's quote is, "Asking the impossible of yourself will give you disappointing results."  It's ok to dream big but setting impossible goals for yourself is setting yourself up for failure.  We know our capabilities yet sometimes we really need a push.  Just make sure that push is in the right direction and not in oncoming traffic. 

Continue the hard work.  Keep setting goals.  Let go of the impossible, you will only be disappointed.  

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

JUSTIFYING WHAT CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED

 Good morning, everyone and happy Thursday.  Have you ever noticed how some people can see the best in everyone no matter what?  My dad is like that.  He's been blessed with a loving heart that allows him to see and look beyond one's actions no matter what the outcome of those actions might have been.  

Is that a good thing?  I'm not so sure.  When continuously overlooking things that cause harm to others via words or actions is that good natured person truly good or simply an enabler?

Today's quote is, "There is no justification for unjustifiable behavior."  Meanness and cruelty should never be tolerated.  There is absolutely no excuse for causing intentional harm toward anyone.  I wish I had the courage to tell that to the ex-principal where I used to work but I will allow Karma to step in.

If there is someone in your life that derives pleasure from hurting others, have the courage to tell them it's not OK.  A loving heart is a wonderful thing to have but that heart should never justify unjustifiable behavior.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

OUR VAST IMAGINATION

Good morning, everyone and happy Thursday. Daydreaming is just as important as night dreaming!  A daydream could be something simple like wishing you were at a beach instead of in a boring meeting, but daydreaming serves a purpose as well.   It is also when our creative juices flow and ideas begin to hatch.  

Today's quote is, "Our imagination has a vastness beyond our comprehension - it is up to you to decide when to make it happen."  I had thought about changing the last word to make it real instead of making it happen but then I realized making things happen is what we want.  We want to change those dreams from being only dreams to a reality we can see and be an active participant in.

We spend a great deal of time imagining all sorts of things.  Never stop imagining but most importantly never limit yourself.  The sky is the limit but when it comes to your imagination, you are limitless.  Keep dreaming, keep imagining and one day you will be living that dream.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!~Love, Amy

INTERPRETING LANGUAGE

Good morning and happy Thursday.  Words are the basis of language.  Words are our primary mode of communication whether they are written, spoken or signed.  Words can also be twisted and mangled in ways that confuse us and leave us wondering what was actually said and what was actually meant.

Today's quote is, "The wisdom of words lies in your interpretation."  Words can be descriptive and enticing.  They can tell you a story and an opinion.  They can leave you feeling empowered or baffled.  Ironically words can even leave you speechless!

Two people can listen to the same speech, read the same article and watch the same movie but have a completely different understanding of what they heard, read and saw.  Humans have the ability to think. This gives us the ability to interpret things the way that makes sense.  Words are the way you hear them and read them.  It is all in your interpretation.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

MAKE ROOM FOR MORE

Good morning, everyone.  Happy Thursday.  The range of emotions we allow ourselves to acknowledge is not as broad as one would think.  When we are truly happy and at peace do we stop, take a breath and say, "wow! life is really good!"  I can't speak for the world or whoever is reading this but if I were to venture a guess, I would say the answer is no we don't.  

We're inclined to like when our days and weeks run like a well-oiled machine, smooth with a minimum amount of noise.  Woefully we are bound to hit a pothole that takes the air completely out of our tires.

Today's quote is, "Disappointment happens - release that feeling to make room for something bigger and better."  We don't hold onto happiness but when disappointment arrives, we cling to it like a barnacle.  I truly believe (of course I do) that there is always something better than what you imagined for yourself if you only believed it.

No one likes to be disappointed.  We want Plan A, not Plan B BUT are you sure about that?  We can become so narrow in our thinking but that serves no one, especially us.  When you broaden your view, you might realize that what you were disappointed in wasn't meant to be and when you let that feeling go, watch out world, the best is yet to come!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

I FEEL YA

Good morning and happy Thursday.  You know that feeling you get when someone is standing behind you?  You don't need eyes in the back of your head to know you are not alone.  You can feel a presence without actually having to see someone with your own eyes.  

What you feel will depend on who is wrapped in the flesh of that human body, and you will feel it immediately.  Today's quote is, "I feel you your vibe your curiosity your soul because together we flow." 

Everyone has a bad day and so a first-time meeting with anyone might deserve a second chance but in your heart of hearts you know if you want to hang with that person, if that human gets you, feels you or if you are both in your own Tower of Babble. 

Your vibe is audibly silent yet palpably felt.  Love at first sight!  I feel like I've known you my whole life! You're like a sister or a brother to me!  Those are the vibes that bring people together.  When you jive with a vibe, you know you've found your tribe!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

THE STRENGTH TO KEEP GOING

 Good morning, everyone.  Happy Tuesday.  Varied experiences both good and bad are woven into our lives.  The good stuff is welcomed with open arms.  Bring it on, we say.  Life is good until it's not.  Until something happens that takes our breath away and we are in a state of confusion.  Why me?  Why did this terrible thing happen to me?  No need to give examples.  I'm sure you remember these times well.  And yet you persevered. 

Today's quote is, "It is through pain we find out what we can endure."   Pain isn't fun.  It isn't a lesson.  It is a human experience shared by humans everywhere, yet it is through pain that we realize our strength.  A life devoid of pain is not reality.  A life lived in absolute bliss is reserved for monks and those on anti-depressants but even monks experience stress and those on medication become tired of not feeling.

Understandably we all prefer the good times to prevail over the bad but when they do, know that your inner strength will carry you through.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

CRITERIA FOR CHANGE

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday.  There is one thing that can simultaneously cause both fear and anxiety but also joy and relief.  The reason for those mixed emotions is change.  Change is good.  It's also really hard.  Some take to it immediately while others ponder excruciatingly over the idea, however; pondering is the first step towards doing something that you haven't done before.

Today's quote is, "You have met the criteria for change - boredom frustration unhappiness - the rest is up to you."  Big changes or small ones can leave us feeling uncertain.  Should we cut our hair that's been worn the same way for the past ten years?  Should we try that side dish that looked so good on that cooking show?  Should we leave the comfort (and paycheck) of a job we despise?  Should we once and for all make that dream of ours a reality?

Only you know when you are ready for change.  Only you can decide if that dream should remain just a dream or if you should take that leap of faith and know that someone will be there to catch you on the other side.

Life is both long and short but so much longer if we live in boredom, frustration and unhappiness and we all know we all deserve better.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!~ Love, Amy
