Greet the Day

· 6 Comments ·

Each day is unique and treated as such.

The first thing I do, after waking up, is walk through the house and open all the blinds on the windows to let the light in. My day varies from there. I have no set routine, but there are certain rituals that enhance my morning.

Yesterday, I made a cup of green tea, but today I went straight to coffee. Yesterday, I was greeted by the sun and today it’s cloudy. Yesterday, I turned on my little fireplace, but today the house is at a comfortable temperature. Yesterday morning, my phone didn’t ring, but this morning a delivery guy called at 8:00 am inquiring where to dump a truck full of sand. I called for help.

It’s the last month of the year and the change in who we are begins now for stepping into next year. This is not a Blog Challenge, it’s a personal challenge which I’m fairly practiced at. The biggest challenge so far is to find that sweet spot in my morning to write.

When everything falls still and the only sound I hear is the tapping of the keys. This is a new way to greet the day.

Good For Me

· Leave a comment ·

Something happens when I step into this virtual world of Blogging. As soon as I enter, it feels like home.

You can always come here to find encouragement.

My purpose in life is to love people and help them along their journey. I don’t claim to have all the answers, just sharing my heart and what God is showing me today.

We can walk this life together, which is so much better than alone. This life is our gift and it’s meant to be opened and enjoyed daily. How we use it directs our path, but I thank God today, I stumble and don’t fall.

This is one of the first memes I made.

The first few I made have words on them out of a journal I carry around all the time. When God tells me something, I write it down. It may be something I’ve heard before, or something original. Any worthwhile thought goes in the journal.

God prompted me months ago to start making memes. I looked at free software online and was discouraged rather quickly. I’m not super technical, but I can usually figure things out. Some of these software’s are not meant to be figured out. They are merely there to frustrate. The one I chose is called Picfont.

So when is something ‘good for you’?

When it feeds your soul. There are going to be lessons in life, but should life be one continuous lesson? I think not. If that were the case, I’d feel beat up, worn down and defeated, which is the complete opposite of who I am. I wouldn’t be able lift people up if I were down.

If something is good for you, it can be good to you in a loving manner. My mother was good to me and what she taught me was good for me, but eating all those veggies when I was little did not feel like love to me.

This meme is my mantra for my life. It’s what I had to tell myself everyday for a year until I could look comfortably in the mirror and own it. It wasn’t easy, but it laid the foundation of who I am today.

Picfont is good to me and is set up to lovingly assist. I will grow and get better at making memes and eventually try more challenging software. It will need to be good to me, to be good for me, or I will not stick with it.

Challenge is good and helps us grow, but it needs to do so with love.
