We waste
so much time
waiting…
for the weekend,
for the right moment,
for the season to change,
for a good job,
for vacation,
for the right person to come along….
the unknown future
is a theif that steals
the known moment at hand.
Do what you can
with what you have in front of you
right now.
E.A. Fussell
I will never be one
to just blindly fall
instep with the herd.
And it has caused me
much grief in this life,
Being willful and unconforming
to this world.
Sometimes
I wish I could be different,
Less straight-forward,
More submissive.
I wonder if my rough edges
were smoother,
Would my life be too?
And if it were,
Would I then long
for mischeif?
E.A.Fussell
“The best time for a new beginning is “now”. Go ahead, take that step you have been afraid to take. Move your life to the next level. You’ve got nothing to lose and so much to gain. You can do it! Take the step.”
Sermon to myself this morning
E.A. Fussell
A head full of fears
has no room to dream…
To onlookers, an inevitable
crash it would seem…
To us, a risk
that might cause us to believe…
In love, sweet love
and fill our head
with dreams….
E.A.Fussell
At any given moment
the choices we make
can change the direction
that our lives forever take.
Some choices fence us in,
some set us free.
Often it is after we make them
That we learn which one it will be,
fenced in, or free.
At any given moment
the choice is ours to make.

WRINKLES AT BAY
When I was young
the value of my beauty
I did not fully understand,
But now, as I age
the cost I comprehend.
If I had realized back then
wrinkles cannot be held at bay,
I may have lived my life
In a very different way.
More laughter and sun bathing,
laugh lines be damned
More tequila and much dancing
that would be my plan.
I would let the wrinkles come,
bathed by the sun,
and wear out the soles
of many boots
while having lots of fun.
E.A.Fussell
I was talking with my heart
And I asked why they call it
“Falling head over heels”
I mean, after all don’t we walk around
With our head over our heels all the time?
Shouldn’t it be called heels over head or boots over head?
My heart replied “head, heels, boots….whatever….I’ve unexpectedly and Divinely fallen and don’t intend to get up.”
E.A.Fussell
One of those days
when you aren’t sure
if the bus
is going to
pick you up
or run you over
but
you remain calm
in the middle
of the chaos.
E.A. Fussell
Love is patient.
Patience is difficult for some of us. We want what we want, we want it right now, and we get frustrated if it doesn’t happen in our time frame. How many times in our life have we looked back and realized if we had gotten what we wanted we would have missed out on a bigger blessing God had planned for us, or by forcing what we wanted, something better was delayed, diminished, or ruined by not waiting?
Practice patience today and thereby show love. (((hugs)))

Love is kind.
Being kind in a world filled with the spirit of offence is difficult. It seems like everyone is easily offended by something I do or say or believe, or worse… they are passionately trying to offend my beliefs.
I start out each day with the intention of being kind. Some days my determination prevails to the end. Some days it doesn’t last past my morning coffee. Oh that we could be as kind as our creator as it states in His Word:
“For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.”
Isaiah 54:10 KJV
