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.

     Days, weeks, then months 

     and years drift by. 

Not always noticeable, or even 

memorable, the time behind us 

simply accumulates.    All in all, 

     the sum of its parts leads to 

     a life well-lived, if you take  

             a moment to notice.

It’s not about height

or breadth, or depth.

 

It is all about perspective.

 

What limits you?

 

How far can you see?

 

To what end do you

appreciate what is in front of you?

 

Looking back is hindsight

and you have already been there.

 

Change your point of view.

 

Look up.

 

Don’t overlook opportunities.

 

What are your limits?

It can take an awful lot of summer to attempt to do what you need to do. 

   Even then, after all those months, you can only wonder if you have accomplished what you set out to do.

   I wonder now, as I did in June… and in August. I still feel I have so much more to accomplish; and I do. I know it.

   I can feel a change, as surely as I felt the autumn chill last night and this morning. Yet, I also feel a certain satisfaction that comes from my attempts this summer to right myself.

   It’s a wonder, really.

   Never lose the wonder that keeps you moving forward.
