Make this a month
of substance. Sparkle
with the season. Reflect
back the light of those
who make all our days
a little brighter.
tis’ the season

Information is always available. On the news, in conversation and general commotion, you can’t help but hear it.
Do you listen?
Do you hear what is being said, by others or yourself?
What someone says often differs from what others have heard.
Do you recognize the patterns that infiltrate common thought?
Who will listen?
We all have bits of information and convincing concerns rattling about our heads — you know the ones; the ones that keep coming back — that are varied and confusing. By talking them out we are allowed to remove them from our minds and better address them openly.
An open mind.
It all comes from talking, and through listening, mainly to your self.
Talking things out allows you to gain greater perspective to all the concerns, issues and problems you may be experiencing.
We all have problems . . . I know I do.
Talking them out seems to help.

take the time
Forgiveness, thankfulness, mindfulness, gratitude; we don’t take the time as frequently as we should to express what is important to those who are important. We are all human. With all we all have going on, it is too easy to forget where we are, or drift away from where we were. It takes time. It takes effort. It takes honesty. It is hard to find the time. It’s harder to make the time. Now is the time.

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

We get a morning each day, a marshmallow when we crave, and miracles happen when least expected. There’s not an unlimited supply, but plenty to go around. Take a moment to appreciate each one.
What constitutes a miracle is purely subjective, mornings sometimes come too early, but nonetheless we are treated to a new day. Just like a marshmallow, enjoy each bite.
Look beyond the boundaries of the calendar and the perception of what you taste. Allow yourself time to feel, enjoy, and believe. There are miracles out there if you keep looking.
It may be as simple as kind gesture or smile from a friend or total stranger. Return the favour.
Mornings happen every day; that alone is a miracle.
