Good Morning and Happy August 10, 2014

Good Morning!  The picture above is one of my favorites so far in 2014.  It was taken in Upper Michigan in May earlier this year.  I love the Rainbow amidst the trees.  I was walking near the lake when it started to rain and that is when I saw the rainbow.  One of life's gifts to us-a rainbow.

I was thinking this morning how fast everything in life is.  I know that is why I like to get up so early-so I can feel the quiet before the rest of the world wakes up and gets moving.  Some days when Ted and I are walking I think my best thoughts come to me. 

 I was at a family reunion yesterday.  It was so great to connect with my extended family.  I had missed the last reunion-because of a "boy,"  I won't make that choice again.  Family is much more important.  I have a cousin who when we meet it's like we can't stop talking.  It was so good to catch up with her again.  I loved listening to her wisdom and insight.  

Being by family made me miss my fur baby, Allie.  It's been about 4 months now and I think of her often.  I'm grateful she isn't suffering anymore.  She was a great friend to me while she was here on earth.

So I guess today's topic turns out to be about what is most important to you in life.  Lately, I know that I learning where best to spend my time.  It's too precious and your life is too important to waste even a second of it.  Spend time with those you cherish doing things you know will bring you JOY.

Have a great week everyone!  I'm off to see more cousins and heading to Schaumberg Illinois on Wednesday.  Looking forward to another adventure.

August 1, 2014 and Young Living Joy Essential oil

Good Morning!  It's Friday and I thought that this lovely Young Living oil would be a perfect topic for a Friday.  Most people love the idea of "Friday" because it means what they had to do to make a living is done for another week and they are "free" for 2 days until the cycle continues all over again on Monday.

So what does it mean to have Joy?  I think JOY can be very elusive.  In our society today we are all so busy doing that we don't make enough time to just BE.  I know this last 1 1/2 years as I worked a full time job and grew a business I felt very little JOY.  I decided a few months ago that I wanted JOY to be ever present in my life.  There are so many little things we miss when we are busy doing that they slip right by us.

I am going to challenge myself and you too if you decide to find more JOY in life.  Like today there was JOY in talking to not one but two neighbors as I was walking with TEDDY this morning.  I found JOY as the sun was shining and I looked around and saw beauty. 

Our life while here on this earth is a gift friends.  Too often at the end of the day there are regrets.  Let's not be that person.  When we go to sleep at the end of the day lets know deep down inside us that we have lived our best day yet free from regrets.  And when we get up the next morning we are going to do it all over again.  How great is that?
