Life is n session

I am just as guilty of procrastinating as anyone else. I have put off decorating my home for 6 months now. Some of it due to time some due to I have to really put my creative cap on and unsure of my choices so I make "none." Not willing to commit to a style, a color. In turn ive had to look at blank walls. So Ive decide to get a move on it. This is my first purchase. This ottoman/coffee table. I went back 3x before I just took the plunge and bought it. Looking forward to adding the decor now.
Dont be afraid to begin. A project, A relationship, A journey... Life is Session!
For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. ~Fr.

Springtime Awakening

A Blooming tree !
... New sprouts of glory on my tree today :)
...And Blue skies. Spring is in the Air. Everything is so fresh and new. A new season full of love and joy is upon us. Take time to take notice of the budding trees and blooming flowers. Give yourself permission to start something new!
Springtime is the land awakening. The march winds are the morning yawn. - Lewis Gizzard

Flowers :)




Flowers really do Intoxicate me. - Vita Sackville West
Lovely flowers! I made the executive decision to -"buy flowers"today. What a good choice. Flowers bring any home such joy. And why would I want to deprive my home of such luxuries? Who cares how my closet's look? (Who's looking anyway...MOM get out of there) My guests are met with happiness and joy the moment they step in. So Maybe I will get around to organizing my closets tomorrow... and maybe NOT.
Do something that makes you happy tomorrow. Life is too short to worry about closets:)

Live in the moment

Today the kids were playing outside with sidewalk chalk. Though all the teachers were excited of the well deserved up coming spring break the children were unaware. They just float with the rhythm that their world consists of. Some of their lives full of love and hugs others full of strife and hardships. But children are so resilient. They live in the moment. Though the night before might have brought chaos,confusion and worry, the structure and security of going to school provides them with a sense of feeling safe, knowing they will be fed and knowing they will be seen... heard.
In the beginning of the year, a child in my class asked each morning with great concern, "Did I miss it? Did I miss breakfast?As I reassured him each morning until he stopped asking I thought to my self, "Wow I worry about this and that, and this child worries about his next meal."
Some things we might take for granted as basic for others is not.Count your Blessings, Make a difference in your community( be a mentor, volunteer at a shelter, be a big brother or sister) and Live in the moment.

Photography






Look at this photography. Beautiful. I aspire to someday learn to capture the ordinary things in an everyday life and turn them into such beauty. These photos were taken by Alicia Bock.
