A wise person once told me… what we dwell on is who we become. I’d like to think most of us are not the noise pollution we are being fed by those who’s motives are not anchored in and for the greater good. Aren’t we all soul-weary from the onslaught?
Another wise person reminded me how important it is not to get caught up in that swill. We’re only going through this way once – be kind to yourself, be kind to others, look for the good, respect and enjoy our vast diversity, support your causes, don’t contribute to the divides, seek truth, have compassion, seek joy – it’s especially abundant in the little things. If something in your life is really dragging you down, let it go. Lift each other I’m starting this day with a renewed appreciation for all that is good and I’ll nurture it where I can .
Some inspiration for today –
Excellent advice! And I stole the ice cream/sprinkles meme, thanks!
Any time! I steal yours on occasion too! 🙂
Good advice all around. I simply cannot listen to all the vitriol that is being blasted over the airwaves these days. Call me an ostrich, but I just won’t listen to it.
I think that’s very wise. I need to do more of that very thing.
The wise person that gave you that advice is someone I want t know! So good. And so hard yes? I’m with you though Let’s focus on being kind and for me this means being kind to those that do not inspire it in me. Oy! I will find a way.
xxoo
DITTO!!!!…..
Karen, Alicia Keys has the song ‘Good Job’ Its about the first responders and a wonderful song…..the one version that I like best is
the Robin Hood Relief version on YouTube……love your little babies they are so cute and you can tell that they are really bonded together…Lois
I LOVE that song!… you’ve reminded me of something I found very inspiring, thank you – And indeed, these goat girls love each other, and oh, how they bicker, head butting each other off the picnic table or their log course now and then, LOL… like true siblings.
“When the big things feel out of control…focus on what you love right under your nose.” That is a quote from the sweetest, gentlest little book you could ever hold in your hands. It is reminiscent of Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh in its dialogue and suitable for any age. “The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse,” by Charlie Mackesy is a reminder of what’s important and how wisdom can masked itself as simplicity. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” asked the mole. “Kind” said the boy.
