Coins

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can detirmine how it will be spent. ~~ carl sandburg

so over sunday I spent time at my parents home. spending my coins was a topic that came up. I have done alot of soul searching and learning about myself with thearpy over the years ( my friends know to be true) suffice it to say I don't see eye to eye with my mom- what's new there? She sees my life and spending one way ,I see it another. I am more selfish with my time these days - but importntly that makes me a harder person. It has been harder to choose to not communicate the negative.... I still find myself there sometimes. It has been harder to be colder to those around me... for so many years my kindness is taken for granted. It is harder to be less free with my time ... my volunteer spirit has dampened a bit. This was a telling quote for me to consider.

Extravagant

How extravagant, diverting, and decadent the simplest of pleasures be. ~~Bradford Humbert

Normal Days

Normal Day, let me be aware of the treasure you are.

Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart.

Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow.

Time- the simple things

When we take time to notice the simple things in life, we never lack for encouragement.

We discover we are surrounded by limitless hope that's just wearing everyday clothes.

Safer than the known way

I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year,
"Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown."
And He replied,

"Step out into the darkness, put your hand into the hand of God, and that will be to you
better than a light and safer than a known way."
