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 . . .

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

Over And Over
Posted on May 22, 2019 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

Do you feel stuck where you are?
Are you content with your state of being: emotionally, physically or spiritually?
Can you tell the difference between a routine and a rut?
Do you do what is expected, or intended? Are you surprised when you don’t?
Over and over we settle for the words, or the life, presented to us.
Change is always possible, but it has to begin within.
It is easy to take the same steps or drive the same route, to do, again, what you did yesterday.
It is not always comfortable. It is not always right.
It is a habit.
We are limited by habits, and patterns, no matter how routine. No matter how uncomfortable.
Are you comfortable with change to your lifestyle or living situation?
Has it become too comfortable?
Are you ready for change? Have you even thought about it?
Have you settled?

Speak Up

There are people who will
forever remain silent, it is
not always a choice.
Speak up. You can be the
voice of people who will
never be heard; but know
your words and thoughts
will resonate more truly if
you speak for your self.

Mondays are just young Fridays

Rest your eyes.
You have seen so much
humanity and pain,
happiness or joy.
The eyes strain
to take everything in.
We see what is before us,
sometimes it is not easy.
Sometimes it is not all;
sometimes it is too much.
Our vision is not always clear.
We become weary
of dealing with it all.
Rest your eyes.
Give your soul a break.
