Sing...

I found this verse today...author unknown...but really, it sums up so much of what I feel at the moment.  All to often we think we cannot do something until we know how to do it and yet in reality, we do things so we can learn, so we can grow, so we can become more.

We may not always know what it is we are wanting or "trying to sing" but that doesn't matter.  The real truth, the real benefit is to sing...sing heartily and enjoy the song for what it truly is....  a moment in time, a truth, a joy and a simple pleasure.

So cute....such a beautiful way to view the world.  Simplicity at its best.

Namaste

Wishing your life away....

Have you ever wondered why you may never be satisfied with what you have; why you feel this yearning for more. 
We have all become guilty of wanting so much more, craving more to the point where we will forget what we have, we even become willing to forsake it in the eternal drive to get the next thing.
When does it stop?  When can we learn to feel satisfied with what we have.  This is a learning lesson for me.  Thankfully, I have never been too extreme in my yearnings and wants but what I do acknowledge of myself at the moment is I am not always honouring what I do have.  I am just accepting it is there and wander off to "window shop" what else is out there. 
Yet in reality, window shopping can be just as dangerous as the actual purchase.  So with this thought I have come to the realisation that I must HONOUR what I have.  My health, my family, my love of life, my furniture, my bed, my car, my house....in short my everything.
All too often we find ourselves busy so we rush the chores we have for our self.  We may not keep up maintenance on our things, our self and then we wonder why we feel this yearning for something new.. just like the shininess of something new wearing off so we want to replace it with something else.
It is now time for me to REALLY honour what I have.  To give thanks for all that is with me each and every day.  My toys, my needs and even my wants, but also to know that I willingly will be caring for everything in my life.  No more tarnished items in my life, everything can be shiny and new.... and as my verse has said "Everything will come to you at the perfect time..."  Wonderful words to live by......Love and light to you all ..Julie xx
