💡 Something to Think About
Don’t give up. Don’t quit. Giving up is easy. When we give up, our minds go into defensive mode and begin generating excuses for our decision to give up. Before you know it, we’ve convinced ourselves that giving up is the best decision any human being could make. Conversely, hanging in, enduring, working at our challenge is often painfully slow. Yet, there comes a time when the foundation we were building by staying with it pays off. We look back and see the great distance we covered a step at a time. If it is worth it, it is worth not giving up and patiently enduring.
🤗 A Better Life ~ For Some Questions there are No Answers
Some of the most difficult things we experience in life can’t be explained. We can try, but we end up where we started and we are still asking why. There are no answers to these questions. Perhaps one day, in hindsight, an insight happens and we catch a glimpse, for a moment, of why. It’s best to stop asking why and to start living. It’s not easy, but it’s a way through.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Love
Love
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
We cannot live, except thus mutually
We alternate, aware or unaware,
The reflex act of life: and when we bear
Our virtue onward most impulsively,
Most full of invocation, and to be
Most instantly compellant, certes, there
We live most life, whoever breathes most air
And counts his dying years by sun and sea.
But when a soul, by choice and conscience, doth
Throw out her full force on another soul,
The conscience and the concentration both
Make mere life, Love. For Life in perfect whole
And aim consummated, is Love in sooth,
As nature’s magnet-heat rounds pole with pole.
👍 Today’s Good Word ~ Adventure
Adventure – def: an unusual, exciting, and possibly dangerous activity, trip, or experience, or the excitement produced by such activities
We all need a bit of adventure in our lives. When we set upon an adventure we engage ourselves in learning, in discovering how to handle the curves that come our way. Adventures make us feel alive, they immerse us in life. And, they break our daily routines. We come out of our adventures with renewed spirit and energy. What adventure are you planning to embark on? Go on, start planning. Fire up your adventurous spirit.
