A second spring

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” ― Albert Camus 

I really like this quote as it makes me think of how color the leaves when they change in the area where I live is a lot like flowers because the colors can be really beautiful.  Wherever you're reading this, even if the leaves don't change color, I hope you can see the beauty that is all around you and that you can enjoy it. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always. 

 

 

You don't have to be great to start

"You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great." Zig Ziglar 

 Throughout my life I've always had things I wanted to do and a lot of those things were hard for me. However, I've also found that the things that intimidated me most, got easier once I started doing them. In a way I'm rather glad I don't do things perfectly because in being imperfect, I learn more. My point is, if there's something that you want to do that is good and that could potentially help other people, I hope you take action and do those things, even if it's hard. Send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.

 

A big hat for sunshine

 "Some sunshine is good for the soul, but I always make sure I wear a big hat."-Miranda Ker

I thought of this quote today because it's sunny where I live today and so I've resolved to wear this hat today because the hat and sunshine make me feel splendidly happy. Wherever you're reading this, even if the sun isn't shining, I hope you can find many things in your life that make you feel splendid. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.

Just some peaceful music for a Thursday

 I was feeling in need of some soothing music today and so I listened to Clair De Lune by Claude Debussy and it helped me feel more relaxed. I like it because it gives me a sense of peace and sometimes it's good to sit quietly and enjoy something beautiful. I hope wherever you're reading this, that you have many things in your life that help you feel peaceful. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always. 

Remembering

 Today is the second and last day of the El Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) holiday and I rather like this holiday because it reminds me that the people I love who have died are always with me in my heart. Today I was thinking about my friend Ros who died a few years ago. She was such a funny person and she always made me laugh. I met her when she was in her 90s and she had the most incredible laugh and spirit and humor. My favorite memory with her was when we were volunteering at a fundraiser at our church and she and I were helping people wrap gifts they bought at the event. She and I were talking and laughing and doing crossword puzzles in between wrapping the gifts and it was just a fun time. Although I really miss her, I'm glad I was able to get to know her while she was alive. I send much love and best wishes to Ros who lives on in my heart and to everyone who reads this now and always.

Three good things

 In keeping with my efforts to find at least 3 good things in each of my days, here are three good things that happened in my day today.

• I was able to go to choir practice today which is something I always enjoy.
• I made myself a nice sandwhich for lunch using a recipe that I hadn't tried before and it tasted nice.
• I was able to listen to some nice music while I was getting ready for the day this morning and it was a nice way to start things off for the day.
  

To all who read this, I hope you can find the good things in your day and enjoy them. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.
