One of my daily emails shared these quotes for today.

 

 

"Activity is not achievement.

It is not enough to rush about beginning a lot of things and keeping busy.

A well-spent life is one that rounds out what it has begun."
-- Eknath Easwaran

"Genius begins great works; labor alone finishes them."
-- Joseph Joubert

"Good to begin well, better to end well."
-- English proverb

Is the universe or someone trying to tell me something?    lol

 

 

FOLLOW THROUGH AND COMPLETE

Intention and the words we speak are powerful. When we say we are going to do something, we set energy in motion. When we fail to act or complete our intention, we drain our energy. We lose our power.

We would be wise to choose our words carefully -- to really mean what we say and to honour the commitments we have made.

Time is Life

Saw this quote this am and it struck a cord within me.

“Time is life. It is irreversible and irreplaceable. To waste your time is to waste your life, but to master your time is to master your life and make the most of it.”

It didn't mention the writer but it could be Neale Walsh, either way, it makes you think, doesn't it.

Enjoy your day and life,

QUOTE for today...

"Life is what we make it. Always has been, always will be."
-- Grandma Moses

This bridge is the Crown Point, Lake Champlain bridge that has been closed recently. It can't be repaired and needs replacement. I know this will be a hardship for those in the area that relay on it for their livelihood.

Here are photos that I took on the day of the Samuel de Champlain's celebration with the re dedication of the Rodin's "La France" frieze on the lighthouse at Crown Point.

Check out the details of the lighthouse.

Can you tell I fancy myself being a photographer. I know, not alot of talent, but I do enjoy it and it's a great way to revisualize palces and times. Despite the camera can never be as good as what you see in person!

When leaving the area, I tried to get a good photo of the bridge from a distance- it's probably a good 7 mile span, and though the photo isn't great I remember it well with the bridge glowing by the reflection of the sun, remembering perhaps it's "heydays" and the sights it has seen.

Enjoy your day,
Jane

Rain in the North Country

On one of my groups I belong to, another member had posted this poem. It is perfect for the weather we are experiencing here. The lady who posted this didn't say she wrote it or gives any other credit towards the talented author whoever they may be, it acctually could be her.


"Rain in the North Country"

For weeks it's been raining,
My energy's draining.
My fabric feels damp,
My brain has a cramp.
Ive lost motivation.
I need a vacation!
I'd go someplace sunny,
If I had some money.
Instead, I'm stuck here,
Where the weather is drear.
Since I'm trapped indoors,
I'll vacuum the floors.
It's better, I think,
Than turning to drink.
Still, whiskey on ice
Does sound pretty nice.
If it's raining tomorrow,
Then I'll drown my sorrow.

Rain or shine, Stashbusters, it's time to vacuum that floor!

Hope you enjoyed it.

the power of acceptance...

Our life begins to change in magical ways when we open to the experience of life AS IT IS. With acceptance, we stop fighting what is happening. And this creates space, an opening for new relationships to unfold.

Explore unconditionally saying yes to the facts of life. Accept your past and where you are now. Unconditional acceptance is unconditional love and this is healing.

"Sometimes what seems like surrender isn't surrender at all. It's about what's going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it is far, far greater."

-- Nicholas Evans

Beautifully written, towanda!
