life notes; flaws and all

a daily breath...

A thought du jour, my daily breath includes collected and conceived observations, questions of life, fortune cookie philosophies, reminders, messages of peace and simplicity, unsolicited advice, inspirations, quotes and words that got me thinking. They may get you thinking too . . .

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

A Little Further?

What do you understand?

What do you struggle with?

What are you capable of?

What will you accomplish today?

What will happen if you
you reach a little further?

Stay Cool

Play it safe.
Keep it simple.
Go look at some art.
Climb on a bike.
Pick out a favourite
album (or three) and
turn up the hi-fi.
Go to a new restaurant
with an old friend, or
have a picnic in the park.
Treat yourself to ice cream.
Don’t read yesterday’s news
(or social media feeds).
Turn off the phone.
Stay cool.
No matter what you do, or
how you do it, don’t let the
weight of the week
crush the spirit of
the next few days.
Summer is already to short,
maximize your life.
Adjust your attitude.
Be good to your self.
Have a great weekend.

things
that
hold you back
thoughts
that keep you
awake each night
are simply
things
you can’t
unthink
they can’t be
erased
but they can be
replaced
think
good thoughts
try
tonight
