Keep Moving

Sunset on our lake a few months back.

When life is getting you down keep moving. You don't have to let the down times bring you down if you don't want to. You always have a choice to focus on the good times and the good places that you want to go.Learn from but quickly forget about the bad things that are going on around you. Sure life can be tough but at the same time it can be beautiful and rewarding. It's a waste of time to dwell on life's misfortunes and unfairness. A positive difference can be made by putting effort into moving on and never quiting. Choose to put the difficulties to work giving you more determination than ever before. Constantly remind yourself of where you want to be and keep moving towards that goal.Push the negatives out of your life and keep moving and you will make it.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Happy Friday everyone we have made it to the end of the work week. Needing some rest time to kick this cold. Have a great day and Keep Moving.

God Bless

The Way It Is

Birds in the sunset last night.

The way it is might confuse us.We often don't understand why and when things happen but I really don't think we are suppose to understand. Of course by our actions we can assist in things happening but often it doesn't turn out like we've planned. We must except the way it is and keep moving forward.Dwelling on the way we think it should be is nothing but a waste of time.If a door has been closed find a different route. Find a different door to go through. When plan A has failed quickly act on plan B. There is a way but you must be persistent to find it. When one approach fails,learn from the experience and quickly work on a different approach. The road will have bumps and will twist and turn. Hang on for the ride and keep moving in the direction that best suits your needs.You will make it if you try 100%. The way it is yes in deed. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope every ones having a great Monday.

Stop And Think

Sunset looking over our lake the other night.

When your down in the dumps stop and think what got you there and is it really that bad.If your feeling sorry for yourself stop and think will that really make things better? When you feel like running away from your problems stop, turn around and face them head on. You will gain strength and confidence by facing your problems. When you have things to get done but don't feel like doing them stop and think how nice it will be when they're done. Life in general is not hard. We make it hard by making bad decision's,worrying and not staying positive. Staying positive is easier than you think.You just have to make that decision on your own.If you stop and think first you can limit the bad decisions you make.Worrying is a waste of time and most of the time we worry about the little things and turn them into bigger issues than they really are.So don't sweat the small stuff. Stop And Think.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone is having a great week.

Be Yourself

A close up view of the sunset last night.

Be yourself. When ever you be yourself you are in your comfort zone. Things will go much smoother and you will be happier.Do what you know is right for you without letting others distract you.What you love most you will do best.Be yourself around the people that make you feel comfortable. By doing so you will bring out the best in you. When something feels right go ahead and do it. Except it for what it is and be yourself. Don't think for one moment that it's selfish to do what you love and be yourself. When you accomplish this you have the most to offer.Be the way you want to be,feel the way you want to feel and do the things you wish to do. Just Be Yourself. Don't forget to forgive quickly,love always and smile along the way. Hope everyone is having a great week.

It's Easy

Taken in the Black Canyon on our fishing trip Thursday.

It's easy to focus on negative things going on in your life and others. But it's just as easy to focus your thoughts on something positive. It takes the same effort either way.It's easy to be upset about your problems but it's just as easy to be thankful for your blessings.Maintaining a positive outlook on life is just as easy as going around with a negative attitude.Staying positive takes no special skills just a choice that is yours to make.It's easy and a choice that you can chose to make right now.Choose to make your challenges your greatest opportunities instead of negative setbacks.Be happy with what you have instead of what you think you need.Don't hold on to the past unless it's in a positive way.It's Easy to stay positive if you make the right choice.Don't forget to forgive quickly,love always and smile along the way. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Opportunity Now

One of our spots in the Black Canyon. We're going back tomorrow for a day of hiking and fishing.

Opportunity Is Now.Quit wasting time looking for opportunities to take advantage of. Opportunity is everywhere and all around you. Instead of looking for a perfect opportunity recognize and take advantage of the opportunities that are right in from of you.We often let these slip by wasting time looking elsewhere.Everyday you will have new opportunities that are meant to be. The ones we try to hard for and never happen were just not meant to be so do your best with what you have.Small and simple opportunities often turn into very big accomplishments with lots of value.Many opportunities are lost because we don't act on them. Choose one that is right in front of you and act on it.See what it turns out to be and enjoy the rewards.There's work to be done so get to it.Opportunity is Now. Don't forget to forgive quickly,love always and smile along the way. Happy hump day everyone half way through the week.Were going to make it yes in deed.

You Have Control

Sunset Last Night. AMAZING!

You Have Control. Yes you have more than you ever imagined.What might be bothering you now is not reality. What's bothering you is your interpretation of the reality. You have the control to interpret it in many ways. We often get the wrong interpretation and jump to conclusions. Then we close our minds and jump on the pity train. The best part about this is you are in complete control. You have the choice to change you interpretations at any moment. Let the frustration motivate you and change your interpretation of the situation.The facts might be disappointing but you are in control and can change the way you view them.Your choice with every moment and how you choose to view it is very important.You are in control of your actions and emotions and only you have this control.You can control what actions you take and how you handle each moment and each situation. So use this power to make open minded and clear decisions. Think about now as well as your future.You Have The Control. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone is having a great Sunday.

Happiness in now

I took this one a few years ago over looking Carson City NV. on a trip out here to CO. I know I've posted it before but it's one of my favorites.

Happiness Is Now. In this moment you can choose to be happy. If your in a tough situation in most circumstances you have chosen to be so by your actions. Regardless you can still choose to be happy. In most cases if you not happy it's because you are not happy with yourself. You might blame others and be on the pity train but that will not correct the situation. You are also probably caught up on material things.Material things might bring you happiness for a short time but eventually they all go by the wayside.If there has been something you have wanted to do, today is the day to do it. If your wanting a change for the better you can choose to make that change today. Don't rely on anyone other than yourself to change it.Happiness does not depend on external factors,work to cultivate the kind of happiness that comes from within.Happiness within can't be taken away or lost. External things,Material things including people can and will eventually be taken away.So make today the day, Happiness Is Now.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Through It

One of my favorites.Sitting on my front porch chatting with the birds last winter.

Day in and day out we will face challenges.Every challenge is a learning experience and value to gain. We can get through it and get to the value of each challenge if we choose to.It might get tiresome but it will also give you strength.With this strength you can continue to move forward with confidence and get through it. You have already made it this far and have some momentum so don't stop now. Proceed forward with persistence and effort.Not because you have to but because you can.Get through it because of the accomplishment of meeting your goals. All it takes is a few more steps and you had what it takes to get this far so keep stepping in the direction that's right for you.No matter what others say,no matter what others do you can get Through It. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone is having a great hump day we are half way Through it.

Sometimes People

Fireworks from this weekends Olathe Sweet Corn Festival.

Sometimes People will talk about you and spread rumors behind your back. That's ok let them do so. Let there negativity be there problem not yours. When you express your self others will criticize you and not agree. That's OK learn a little from the feed back but gain confidence that you are being you and have every right to be.When you are big enough to admit that you don't know something others might laugh. But that's OK the first step to learning is admitting that you don't know.Be smart, aware and honest with yourself  and you will always be one step ahead of the game.Keep yourself positive by staying away for the whiners and complainers. They will do nothing but slow you down. Be the best you can be by staying positive and taking each step with confidence. Even if it ends up being the wrong step you will easily rebound. Sometimes People want to worry about you because they can't take care of themselves. This is all OK continue on with a smile. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Happy Monday everyone hope you have a wonderful week.

Real Wealth

Another beautiful Sunset on our lake the other night as the rain was coming down.

Real Wealth is what you earn not what you get for free.There is a price to pay for everything and that's what gives it value. You get what you pay for is so true in deed.If your not willing to pay the price then your not going to experience the value. The cost in life is generally your effort that you put forward. What you get with little or no effort is not worth much at all and will go by the way side.It is your participation that gives it meaning and worth having. It is simply a waste of time to expect something for nothing.We are fulfilled by the earning not by the possession itself.It is your effort that determines Real Wealth. Life can be wonderful and fulfilling but your going to have to get out there and earn it.Start today earning your way. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Another great day in Sunny Colorado today and only one more day until the Olathe Sweet Corn Festival. It's going to be a great weekend.
God Bless
