Just Keep Swimming

~Good days come and go.  And we keep swimming.

~We have good hair days and bad hair days.  Keep swimming.

~Some days we lose weight and some days we

gain.  Keep swimming toward your goal.

~Some days we are creative and some days we are boring.  Keep swimming.

Persistence is the key. 

   If it is a worthy goal

      If it matters to us

         If it is something we have a burning 

         desire to attain

… Then by all means keep swimming.

We continue striving.  We continue the climb.  We work at our craft.

And one fine day we awaken to discover that our dream is in sharper focus, and closer than ever before.

All because we kept swimming.

One Word at a Time

It's Still Free

In a world that puts a price on almost everything, there is still one piece of life that is free.

Want to know what that is?

Your Power of Choice!

How about that?  You can do anything you choose. 

You can sit on your bottom.

You can dream.

You can draw

Or you an scheme

You can think, or cry or sigh

You can write or sing, oh my.

You can lean, discern and love

You can walk, talk, and wear a glove

You, yes I do mean YOU, get to choose your actions, activities and life course.

You can offer a hand or offer a fist.

You can walk in the rain or enjoy the mist

You can protect someone’s back

Or live with great lack

You get to choose, my friend.

Choose Wisely!

Anything Can Be

It’s about time for a bit of Shel Silverstein philosophy, don’t you think?  Read this.

Ain’t it so.  Ain’t it so. 

There will be nay-sayers in this world.  There will be those who pooh-pooh every idea, thought, creation, or hint of something that might work.

AND WE DO IT ANYWAY!  We do it because sometimes it needs doing, and perhaps we are the only one with the vision to do the thing.

If it is good, if it is honest, if it is profitable for mankind, if it is an idea worthy of its time, then by all means do it.

You may go back to building your dream now.

One Word at a Time

Do or Do Not

Have you ever seen a more succinct quote?  It boils down to this every time, doesn’t it?

I’m listening to the audio biography of the Wright brother.  Again this quote is in play. 

I am on a new quest for my health.  For me it is a matter of "Do.  By all means do.”

I could choose to “do not” but I want to live a bunch more years.  For me this choice is easy. 

What can you decide to “DO” right now? 

It is your choice, after all.

Your normal life will resume in 3 – 2 – 1!
