Next
You probably never do this, but sometimes I find myself getting hung up on things. Especially things I wish I would have done better–or at least differently.
That would be a good time to look at the license plate on this Kuni BMW.
Next. As in, forget it already, forgive yourself and move on to the next thing.
Next.
The Force
The older I get, the more Yoda makes sense to me.
Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes.
That little green guy is so wise.
May The Force be with you.
To Oz
Ok. So there’s this wizard–the Wizard of Oz– who is all powerful. He can give you a heart, or a brain, or some courage, or send you back to Kansas.
Oh, but wait. He’s just an ordinary guy. And all that power? That’s really ours. Which is actually way cooler.
We’re off to see the wizard! The wonderful Wizard of Us!
Love Life
If you start loving your life–and I mean loving it, not surviving it or enduring it or getting through it day by day–everything will get better. Infinitely better.
Maybe you’ll even start driving a Lexus…
Fun Ride
Who was it that said, “Life should be treated of as a fun ride or nothing at all”?
Well, if no one said it, someone should; because it’s absolutely true. The ride is meant to be enjoyed. Life is meant to be enjoyed–all of it.
Buckle up your seat belts, kids!
Golden Rule
The guiding light for human rights, kindness and good karma; the Golden Rule is, well, golden.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Simple, direct. I think that Jesus of Nazareth may be onto something here.
Be Happy
Is it just me, or do you hear that Bobby McFerrin song in your head when you see this?
Here’s a little song I wrote, you might want to sing it note for note, don’t worry, be happy.
In every life we have some trouble, when you worry you make it double, don’t worry, be happy don’t worry be happy now.
I honestly don’t know if wiser words have ever been spoken…or sang.
One Day
I love hopeful thinking.
One day maybe I’ll write that great American novel. One day I’ll fit into my skinny jeans again. One day world peace will really, really happen. One day I’ll actually be 5 minutes early everywhere I go rather than 5 minutes late. One day my house will miraculously clean itself. One day…
See? How great is hope?
Playful
This plate reminds me of the sheer joy of childhood. Remember those days? When you’d be outside with the neighbor kids from sun up to sun down playing and pretending. There were 2 other girls on my block when I was in elementary school. The three of us would play Charlie’s Angels for hours. Loved that.
Playful.
Time to lighten the heart up a little and go out and play.
