A Better Day

Taken at the Ouray Mud Fest on Saturday.It was a great time and will be back next year for sure.

A Better Day. Yes in deed tomorrow will be a better day if you choose to make it a better day. It does not matter how bad or how good today was. If today was not so great choose to turn the bad into good.Choose to find the positives in every day and use them to propel you into the next day. If today was great tomorrow can be better. Start with a positive thought. Take that thought and use it to your best advantage. Don't let anyone bring you down. Don't let anything slow you down. Choose your own path.The direction that feels right for you.If your life is heading in the wrong direction use tomorrow to turn it around.Use tomorrow to move closer to a dream that you have been holding on to.Use tomorrow wisely.Use your past experiences good or bad to move you forward. Take all the knowledge you have gained and use it tomorrow.Tomorrow is the day. Yes in deed A Better Day.It's closer than you think.Today was a great day for me.I got my Carburetor rebuilt on my GTO. She purs like a kitten now. Garden is done and irrigation water is running strong.To all a great Monday and a better Tuesday. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.

Full Of Surprises

Another beautiful Sunset on the lake the other night.

Full Of Surprises in deed. Life is full of them.In fact every day will be full of surprises. Some will be exciting and some will be disappointing.Perhaps some even tragic.The important part of any surprise is to except that they will come and understand that you have no control over this.However it's very important to take them as they come without worry or anxiety.Plan to be part of it but don't use anger,worry or to much emotions towards any surprise.It will get you very little in return.Instead choose to spend that energy wisely.Be your true self without fear or embarrassment.Don't worry about the way you think it should end up and don't be so concerned about it being perfect.After all good or bad it's a surprise.Just except what it is and what it might be.Be prepared to live each moment with positive purpose no matter what comes your way.Yes Life is Full of Surprises.Happy Friday everyone.Sorry I have been behind on my blog but will try to do better from here on out.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.

Are You Stuck In A Rut

This is Woods Lake, In the San Juan Mountains... Here Fishy,Fishy...

Are You Stuck In A Rut? Well perhaps it's time for a change.Perhaps you need something to brighten up your life. Perhaps you need to break out of your shell and try something different and challenging.Think of something that you have always wanted to do.Something that's out of your comfort zone.What are you waiting for? The time is now.Pursue that dream that you always seem to put off until tomorrow.Rome wasn't built in a day but if you don't work on it once in awhile it will never get done.Once you choose to take the first step you will be energized.You will be lifted up out of your rut.Suddenly you will see the possibilities that lie in front of you.Why do we climb mountains?Because it's an energizing challenge.It gets our motors running and keeps life exciting and new. So break out of your shell today. Reach for that dream and don't be Stuck In A Rut. Happy Monday to all. Only 5 days until the weekend. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and Smile along the way.Thanks for visiting my blog today.

It's Your Choice

This is the Dennis Weaver Memorial near Ridgeway Colorado. Only about 25 miles from our home.I stop there every chance I get.The wing span of this Eagle is over 21 feet. It's mounted so you can walk under it. The artist did an amazing job.

It's Your Choice. I talk about this often. We make choices every day.We often do what we want when we want. But when it comes to the setbacks we choose to handle them differently.Often we sulk or complain about the situation instead of making the correct choice to move forward.We also can choose to not make the same mistake twice.You don't have to be held back by the same fears.You can choose to move forward and hold your head high.There is no reason why you have to settle for anything else but the very best in life and how you vision it.You can do anything if you put your mind to it and focus 100% of your energy towards it.In each moment you have the power to choose your direction. You are where you are now because of your choices.If you don't like where you are, then change the way your making your decisions.Change the way you look at yourself and others. Hold your head high,smile and move in the direction that is right for you. It's Your Choice.
Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope everyone had a great weekend.Take the time today to remind a loved one how you appreciate them in your life. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and Smile along the way. :)

Do Something About It.

A hidden fishing hole in the Gunnison National Forest. Here fishy fishy.....

Do Something About It. Are you not happy with your life? Do you always seem to be having more downs than ups? Well do something about it.I get tired of people jumping on the pity train.Often when you hear someone complaining about there life or complaining about something that has happened you must ask them this simple question.What did you do to cause this or what did you do to make sure this did not happen.Often you will get a quick answer and be for a ride on the pity train of woaaas me.While on this train often you will hear that it's everybody else's fault except the one that is really at fault,yourself. There are some things that we can't control. Natural disasters for one.We often have little control but most of our down falls we cause or at least assist in accomplishing.The best way to get through them is to stop complaining and start acting.Fix what you can fix and do what you can do so that it doesn't happen again.Take action now and fix the problems that have surfaced.Do Something About It. Thanks for visiting my blog today.Don't forge to love always,forgive quickly and Smile along the way.

Let Go Of Your Ego

Another one of my favorite spots. Bridalveil Falls near Telluride CO.

Choose today to Let Go Of Your Ego.Take a moment to just let it go.Take a moment to not worry about what other people might say or think about you.It's often forgotten but it's really is easy to do. By doing this you give up the need for power.You give up feeling the need to be right.When you achieve this your problems will seem much smaller.Your worries will be behind you and the possibilities will become endless.You will have more power than you have ever had before.You will leave all your worries behind.Choose to spend a few moments every day unconcerned about what's in it for you.Or whether something offends you or someone else.Once you perfect this skill your life will be much happier for you and others around you.So choose today to Let Go Of Your Ego. To all a great Sunday.Don't forget to remind a friend or loved one how thankful you are to have them in your life.Love always,Forgive quickly and Smile along the way.

Promise Yourself

Another Beautiful Colorado Day.

Promise Yourself. The one we often let down is ourselves.We often don't promise our self not to.So choose today to make a promise to yourself and keep it.Pick that one thing that you have always desired and work towards getting it.We have everything we need to make a dream come true.So dream big then do what every it takes to full fill the promise.Stop complaining about how unfair life might seem and start making it wonderful.With every setback is an opportunity to gain ground and improvement.Perhaps pick a problem that your dealing with and promise your self that you will over come it.Find a dream that inspires you and promise your self that you will reach it.You can do it if you want,you just have to choose to do it. Don't back down and never never give up no matter what setbacks cross your path.Promise Yourself... To all a great weekend.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and Smile along the way.

Forward And Upward

I captured this Goose on our lake the other night.

Forward And Upward. Is there any other way? You can choose to pout and be stagnant.You can blame yourself and others for your misfortunes or you can move forward and upward.Stop fighting for what is or what has happened and start living for what can be.Where you are and what you have is all you need to move forward and upward to what you desire.Imagine the best then challenge yourself to make the right moves to achieve them.There is no reason to be stopped by what has happened in the past.The same energy that has stopped you can be used to move you forward and upward.Forget about the disappointments.Forget about what has held you back and focus on staying positive and moving forward.Use the gift of life to move you forward and upward.Don't regret one moment.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and Smile along the way. To all a great weekend and thanks for visiting my blog.

Being Positive with a Smile!

Picture taken two nights ago looking out my back door. A beautiful Colorado Sunset.

Being Positive with a Smile! Yes in deed I can't say enough about this one.A smile will always give you something to smile about.An encouraging word will always give you something to be positive about.Just try it and you will soon find out how this works.Instead of waiting for something good to come along.Try being the good that came along.You always have the choice to change your world and the worlds of ones around you and it can all start with a simple smile.Every moment that passes is an opportunity for change.Normally change is for the better if you allow it to be.If your day seems dark choose to fill it with light.Fill it with a smile,love and laughter.If life seems to be getting you down choose to fill it with positive energy.We all have this within us we just have to expose it.Our Lord has given each and everyone of us this power.Often it's just as easy as a simple smile.No matter what your situation choose to bring out the positives.There are positives in every situation.So turn to a friend or family member right now and simply give them a smile.Then go out to a stranger and give them one to.Don't regret one moment our Good Lord has given us.Don't waste it with a frown.Don't forget to forgive quickly,Love always and Laugh uncontrollably.Thank you for visiting my blog today.Smile Big...

We Learn From Life

Another beautiful Colorado Day... The air is so clean and fresh. Love it...

We Learn From Life. The problem is we often only except what we want to learn form our experiences.We experience important lessons each and every day.Some are exciting and new.Some are painful and scary.But if you allow your experiences to teach you, each one will play an important roll in your life.Often we only capture the fun experiences.But the painful ones are just as important.Every day you will cross others that will make you angry,perhaps cause you frustration but don't push these lessons off to the side. Work your way through each experience and choose to find the value in each and every one.Life will make more sense if you allow each experience to teach you the value they have in them.The difficult times will be less difficult and the joys of life will become more abundant.The more you learn what life has to teach you the setbacks will become easier.Except the lessons that life has for you and be thankful for what you have. Often we get caught up in the material things instead of what really makes life great.To all a great day and don't forget to remind a friend or loved one how much you appreciate them in you life. Love always,Forgive quickly and smile along the way.

It's Your Choice

Another one of my favorites.This is some Colorado Color with Mt.Sneffels in the background.

It's Your Choice.You are where you are today because of the choices that you have made.You can go anywhere from here it's your choice.If your not happy with where your at then change the choices that you make.You have learned many things in the journey of life to this point. What else would you like to learn? Many times we think life just happens to us.That's not at all true. Life is what you choose.What you think and what you create in each moment. You have more control than you ever imagined. You must stay positive,dream big and act on your instincts. You can change anything in your life it's your choice. You control your own destiny. Start today with choices that will make tomorrow better.It's your choice. Don't forget to Love always,forgive quickly and Smile along the way. To all a great weekend.

It's Up To You

I posted this picture before but It's one of my favorites. Taken a few years ago at a friends ranch. I will be going up near there today.

It's Up To You. Yes in deed your life and what happens in it and around you is up to you. We often are quick to blame others for our misfortunes. We often live in denial that we make the bed that we sleep in.What you put into life is totally up to you therefore what you get out of life is up to you as well.The more you put in the more successful you will be.You can't borrow,beg or steal someone else's enjoyment or success.Often others can inspire you,encourage you and love you.Yet living life to it's fullest is entirely up to you.It's a great opportunity and a great challenge and you should be very thankful that it's this way.Yet every day we let others bring us down.We let others dictate what we do and how we do it. Don't get caught up in this.Live life to the fullest and live it your way.Live it the way you want to live it and bring life's richness's out and express yourself to the fullest.Have no regrets after all life is your decision.It's Up To You. To all a great day. Don't forget to Love always,Laugh uncontrollably and Forgive quickly. And for heavens sake Smile along the way.
God Bless

Help Others

Spring Time in Colorado.....

Help Others.When your down and in need of help one of the most positive ways to lift your spirits is to offer help to others.Focusing on your own problems will bring you down and put you in a negative state.By turning the tables and focusing on someone else's problems you gain strength and power within yourself. Believe it or not you gain more strength than the person you are helping.By helping others you will lift there spirit and in return your spirits will be lifted as well.Give encouragement to others that you wish to receive and you will receive double the encouragement back in return.Trust me it really does work. Try it next time you are feeling down. Help others and you will soon be on your way to a positive day.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and Smile along the way.
To all a great Monday.
