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 . . .

     Days, weeks, then months 

     and years drift by. 

Not always noticeable, or even 

memorable, the time behind us 

simply accumulates.    All in all, 

     the sum of its parts leads to 

     a life well-lived, if you take  

             a moment to notice.

Mondays are just young Fridays

It’s not about height

or breadth, or depth.

 

It is all about perspective.

 

What limits you?

 

How far can you see?

 

To what end do you

appreciate what is in front of you?

 

Looking back is hindsight

and you have already been there.

 

Change your point of view.

 

Look up.

 

Don’t overlook opportunities.

 

What are your limits?

within

   Secrets are rarely as heavy as 

   the weight we assign to them.

       The gravity of circumspect

   plays out, time and again. It is 

   what we carry as we decide 

   what crosses, or is held within, 

   our moral divide.

       Sit with it for a while, moved 

   only when memory comes into 

   play; last night, or the other, or 

   any other day.

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

Mondays are just young Fridays

Back in September, I made a change to my somewhat consistent journaling practice. Inspired by the cover of a blank journal that caught my eye, I began converting all of my daily musings to night thoughts.

Join me for the first seven nights of 2022 and spend a little time cultivating your own practice.

The course is free and open to pretty much everybody. There will be daily prompts, insights, and the opportunity to share fresh thoughts and discussion with fellow participants.

It’s an ideal time for working on your night thoughts. It is darker longer and you have more time to write, or select which time is best to write.

Come and write your way into the New Year. For more details and to register email me at:
