Life Lessons

Life has many stages and lessons that go along with each stage.  I find myself in the second half of my life (that is if I am lucky enough to live to 100), and approaching the holiday season again.  My kids know that Mom starts playing Christmas music around Halloween time.  I just can't get enough of it!

While my life may be like many others with it's challenges, heart aches, complicated relationships, disappointments & hardships, I feel determined to focus my energy on the joy, beauty & blessings which are even more abundant in my life. 

Everyday is a new opportunity waiting before us.  We choose the path the day will take with our attitude. 

My brother constantly tells his kids "I think you may need an attitude adjustment".  They don't appreciate it as much as I have come to.  I guess that is what I am looking to do for myself.  I am making an attitude adjustment.

I want to choose to be happier, more positive, more focused on the truly important things.  I want to choose to recognize the bounty around me & celebrate it.  I want the second half of my life to be focused on the simple abundance around me & hopefully it will be contagious to others.
