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 . . .

Mondays are just young Fridays

What gets left behind

with our unmade minds

forever rushing?

 

What do we leave behind

if we did not take the 

the time to notice?

 

What is no longer mine

because neither you nor I 

could take our time?

look around

Be thankful
for what you have, for
what you have to let go of,
and for those who are still
with you. Gratitude comes
in many forms. Look around.
Be thankful.

cloud songs

     It is only silence and only 

   for now, a minute or three

           but who is counting?

Enough, for now.

     Slight Repose, a little grace,

   enough until you have

   found your place.    Might be 

   morning, or the end of the day, 

   yet it is time to yourself anyway. 

           For now.

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

Accepting Your Anger

Posted on February 22, 2018 by j.g.lewis Leave a comment

Difficult times, frustrations, and upsetting days or events, the world keeps turning and the anger continues to burn.
  It’s too easy to take it all personally. What you see or hear is often an affront to your sensibilities or dignity.
  That’s okay, sometimes it takes outrage or offensive behavior to make you realize not only what is wrong, but where your morals or principles rest. You may also see the errors of your ways, and that will clear space for correction.
  It’s okay to be angry, it leaves room for forgiveness.
  Accepting your anger is the not most difficult task; forgiving yourself might be.
