a daily breath...

A thought du jour, my daily breath includes collected and conceived observations, questions of life, fortune cookie philosophies, reminders, messages of peace and simplicity, unsolicited advice, inspirations, quotes and words that got me thinking. They may get you thinking too . . .

?

We live in a world of what ifs.
What if we did something else,
or what if we weren’t there (as
sometimes we shouldn’t be
when it comes down to the
wrong place at the right time).
What if it never happened?
What if we had responded
differently or if we had taken
the advice we were told?
Would we have been so bold?

Remembrance.

As it is, not
as we wish it to be.

You have days
to think back on,

and you do…

always with the questions

Is what you do enough?
For who?
For you?
Self-doubt?
Self-love?
Self-centered?
Is it selfish to think mainly
of what I need to do for me,
myself, and I?
Why?
When will I find resolve to
my never-ending queries?
Will it be enough?
Do you still doubt?
Do you struggle with answers,
as much as the questions?
Can you decide?
Are you trying?
Is that enough?

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

Once In A while

Posted on January 24, 2017 by j.g.lewis // 1 Comment

Remind yourself, every
once in a while, that there
are a few things
you’ve done well and
a couple of things
even better than that.
It doesn’t hurt, every
once in a while, to do that;
to remember.
We’ve all been there, we
have all found ourselves,
(every once in a while)
wondering about
the good we’ve done, or the
battles we could have won.
We’ve all thought about
how it could be different,
or better, or maybe
just not as difficult as
it seems. Then,
more than ever, you
need to recall the things
that have made you smile.
Even when it seems difficult,
every once in a while.
