Sky's The Limit

I took this one over the summer at the Ridgeway Mudfest. Some great intertainment.

Sky's The Limit.Do yourself a favor today.Give yourself a goal. Make it meaningful,Make it exciting and make it challenging.Then make it happen.Set your goal beond what you already know that you can do.That way when you reach it not only will you have the achievement but you will have an increased level of confidence.As long as your giving the effort of life today make it worth while and give yourself this goal.Working steadily and progressivly towards this goal will energize your engines and keep you going in the right direction.It is a blessing that all of our dreams just don't instantly come true. We need to take our dreams and turn them into goals so that we can reach them.Working towards our dreams or goals is what makes them worth having.Your dreams will not come true in an instant. But you can start working on them instantly.You will learn and grow as you work towards your goals. Much satisfatcion will be gained once a dream or goal is accomplished.Skys the limit what ever you truely want you can obtain if you set your mind to it and never give up. Just put one foot in front of the other and reach out and grab it.Sky's The Limit. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone had a great Thursday. Friday is just around the corner.

We Learn From Life

I've posted this one several times. Sorry but I love it. I took this a few years back on a friends ranch near Crawford Co.

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.

Know Who You Are

Taken off my back porch a few months back. I zoomed in at the house on the hill on the other side of our lake.

Know Who You Are.You can hide things from others but you can't fool yourself. You know exactly what your up to.Keep in mind what you do today will more than likely affect who you are tomorrow.You might not want to admit it.Tomorrow you might want to forget about today.But it simply won't happen. Your living in denial and with false hopes if your one that is trying to do this.Only you can control who you are,what you do and the attitude that you have.Let the person that you are today push you forward to a positive future.Eventually you will look back on today and it will either give you strength or it will bring you regret.It works both ways though.So choose actions today that will give you strength and make you proud of who you are and what you are becoming.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.

Change The Past

Taken a few months back at one of my fishing holes.

Change the past.Have you ever wished that you could change the past? Would you be able to have no regrets?Feel no pain?avoid every accident and so on? Well you can change the past if you choose to.In order to do so you have to change it before the past becomes the past.The moment that you are in right now will soon be in the past.So you can take advantage of this moment.Choose to turn it into something you will be proud of.Choose to make it into something you can look back on and be happy about.It starts by being positive.Next you will have to focus and be sure to include love and devotion.You can now make the past the best that it can be.You can be assured that you will have no regrets.Live a little.Venture out but make the right decisions for you.Let no one discourage you from making your past what you want it to be.You can make the past something you want to look back on.Something to be proud of.Don't be scared of life and the journey that has been chosen for you.Make the best of every moment and your past will soon be changing.Remember what you can imagine you can accomplish if you choose to.You and only you can make it happen.Don't forget to forgive quickly,Love always and smile along the way. Hope everyone had a great Monday.

A Promise

I took this last winter. I often see these two geese walking together. They have made a promise.

A promise is something we often make to someone else.We then work on keeping this promise over time. What we often forget is that the most important promise one can make is a promise to yourself. A promise to yourself is often the first promise broken. But if the same effort is taken either promise can be kept.If your going to make commitments to others you must first make and keep commitments to yourself. In order for the promise to have value you must first value yourself. It's not the least bit selfish to have a commitment to yourself. Without this you will have little value to others.Today think of a promise you can make to yourself and then work towards keeping it.Choose a promise for yourself and make a plan to follow through. Perhaps it will be an exercise or diet routine. Perhaps just being honest with yourself of who you are and where you want to be.Once you succeed you will have great value in your life and will have no problems passing it along to others with commitment and dedication.No matter how far you have come there is always new ground to cover.Commit today to moving to higher ground.Today is the day to make yourself A Promise.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.

Concur You Challenges

I took this one a few months back down by the river. A bunch of Geese were scared by some kids.

Concur Your Challenges. Yes in deed and life will repay you. With every challenge that comes your way means that you are at a point in your life to take on and concur that challenge.As life becomes more challenging it also becomes more rewarding.You are set up to succeed and have everything it takes to do so.With every challenge you concur it sets you up to concur an even bigger challenge.Most of life's joys that you experience is a result of a challenge or two that you have overcome in the past.Your where you are now because of them and because you did not quit.You did not give up.You chose to concur the challenges.Give it your all.Give it 100% effort and you will be rewarded in life. Choose to Concur Your Challenges.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

The Truth

Taken last year off of hwy 50 outside of Montrose CO.

The Truth is not always easy. The truth is not always understood and often mistaken.But if you make the truth top priority you can make it happen.We often make excuses for not doing something or not living life to the fullest. The truth is these are excuses and far from the truth. Only you have the power to take life by the horns and jump in feet first while being true to yourself and others.The truth can lead you beyond any challenge.The only thing that can hold you back are the limits you put on yourself and these limits start by untrue thoughts. Limits that stop you from dreaming and moving forward with where you need to be.The truth is that you have made it this far and you would be much further if it wasn't for the limitations we put on ourselves. Stay true and wash away the disbelief. Be True to yourself and keep moving forward,you can do it. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Be Thankful

This one I took on one of my trips to the Colorado Monument on rim rock drive last year.
About 45 miles from our home.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Be Thankful for every moment. Be Thankful for every experience good and bad.It will take some effort but the results will be more rewarding if you find a way to be thankful for it all.Be thankful not only for the new,exciting,delicious moments but also for the ones which may not at first appear to be blessings.Find a way to be thankful for your difficulties.If you keep and open mind you will find a positive in each and every one of them.Keeping all this in perspective will surely put a smile on your face and will open up many opportunities to be thankful.I have much to be thankful on this day as well as all other days. I am thankful for all my friends and family. I am thankful for every experience in my life.I have had my share up ups and downs but as I reflect back something positive is the normal outcome. I choose to never give up,stay positive and be thankful for every moment. I never take one second for granted and try to use each experience in a positive way.I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving today.Don't forget to give thanks to a loved one that can't be with you today. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.

Be Yourself

Another beautiful sunset on our lake taken a couple months back.

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.

A Great Life

I took this panorama picture yesterday on our way home from hunting.

I spent the past 7 days with my father and friends in our hunting camp at a little over 9,500 feet elevation. During this time I had allot of time to think about life and how great it is.Every day we have new opportunities to make beautiful memories.With every moment we have a chance to experience something new. A Great Life is not only the memories that are made but the moment you are in right now.Enjoying each and every second of your day is what makes the biggest impact in your life.Once the moment is gone it's gone forever. So why not make each moment the best memory it can be? Value each moment in time but don't hold on for to long or you might miss the next experience coming your way.Store your most treasured memories in your attic.But don't pile them up and block the door.It's a great feeling to know how great life has been but even better to know how great life is right now.Remember everything happens for a reason. We might not understand the reasons but you can choose to make each moment into A Great Life. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. I'm so glad to be back and have missed you all. Hope everyone is staying positive and working on A Great Life.

We live in a beautiful world

This was taken last year with my old camera while my Father and I were hunting.

We live in a beautiful world. Beauty is all around us we just choose to block it out.Beauty is not just physical appearance it's much deeper than physical appearance.We know beauty without having to learn it.We can't define it but the more we appreciate it the more beautiful it becomes.No matter what's going on in your life make the decision today to put it behind you for a few moments. Stop relax and take in the beauty that's around you.It's a gift we can give to yourself and no one can take it away.Beauty can relax,inspire and energize us.We live in a world surrounded by beauty.Reach out and grab it. Except it for what it is and dig even deeper.Beauty is often found in things that seem very ordinary and plain.Sometimes we must dig deeper to discover the true beauty.Take nothing for granted and cherish every moment.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Hope everyone is having a great Sunday. This will be my last Thought that I will be able to post for 8 days or so. I'm heading out tomorrow for the back country for a week of hunting with my dad and friends. I will miss you all.

What Would You Do?

I took this last year after it had snowed up on the Black Canyon

What would you do, if you could do anything? How would this day be, if you could create it to be just the way you want?What would occupy your thoughts, if you did not have to worry about anything? What actions would you take, if you were sure they would bring what you intended?
What would you say if you were not concerned about what anyone else might think? What would you dream of experiencing, if you were certain the dream would come true?How would you live? How would you feel, if you could feel precisely the way you wanted to feel? Well in fact, you can. You can do and say and feel and be precisely the way you would like to be.Life is entirely what you allow it to be.Choose to make today the best day yet, after all it's Friday! Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.

Small Efforts

A goose exercising last year down on our lake.

Small Efforts are much more reliable than large efforts done once then forgotten about.Just because you can't obtain something all at once doesn't mean that it's not going to be reachable.Every effort every motion adds up and eventually you will get there.Often small efforts though small are more accurate and more affective than one big one. You can achieve great things with a constant and consistent effort.Often we miss the chance to make a small impact being side tracked by trying to make a big impact. Most of the time it's the little things that count the most. Often small impacts turn out to be much larger than we ever dreamed. When you ride a bike you must pedal around in small revolutions to make the bike move forward. But if you put enough revolutions in you can travel a great distance. The same applies with life.Never waste one moment of your time and take advantage of any small efforts that you can. You might be surprised where it might lead you. Yes in deed Small Efforts.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone is having a great Thursday.Thanks for visiting my page today.

Shine Your Light Bright

I took this picture of a pond below Ridgeway Res. A beautiful place for a walk.

Shine Your Light Bright. Even on a cloudy day you can choose to shine your light bright.In fact when things are dark your light will be much brighter if you choose to shine.Even in the darkest times a small positive thought can lift you up higher than you can ever imagine.Shine your light in the darkest of times and even as dim as it might seem it will be noticed by others around you.Step into the moment and just do it.Don't worry about what is wrong or what might go wrong.Think what you can do to make it right.Did you know that 85% of the stuff we worry about never transpires.You will increase that percentage by shining bright and staying positive.Once in a while we need to step out of our boxes.Live a little.Don't get stuck in a box where no one can see your light.On your down days let your dreams lift you up.On your up days let them push you even faster and further than you can imagine.Yes in deed,shine your light bright. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Happy hump day everyone and thanks for visiting my page today.

Have Self Esteem

I took this picture a few months back when I was down fishing at the river.

Have Self Esteem. The main difference between a successful person and a non successful person is self esteem.Ones with self esteem respect themselves.They value there time by not wasting it.They value there health by not filling their bodies with drugs and poisons.They also value the others around them and often are very open minded.Both have the same ups and downs in life except the unsuccessful ones often make things worse for themselves.They often don't take responsibility for there mistakes and actions.They often blame others for there downfalls.I like the saying we make the bed we lay in.If you watch someone like this you will notice that these type of people are always frustrated and depressed.They often can be violent and this is the way they take care of most problems.Often these people don't understand that you can change this in a split second.All it takes is the willingness to change.It will take being responsible for your actions and not blaming others. A little self esteem and your on your way.It doesn't take money or material things.Once you agree to being responsible for your own actions you can achieve anything you want.So choose to start today.Have some Self Esteem and love yourself and others around you.No achievement will be out of reach.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Happy Tuesday everyone thanks for visiting my Thought Of The Day.

It Will Take Some Effort

This was taken up near Silver Jack. Another beautiful place that I am so blessed to live near.

Anything worth having will take effort to obtain. Anything with value will take dedication,hard work and desire.Most of all it will also take patience.The satisfaction is not always what you obtain but the person you become while working towards your goals or dreams. No matter how hard or how easy it may be the real value is the journey forward towards your dreams and the destination that you have chosen.While on the journey if you seem to hit obstacles that make you want to give up then perhaps the dream or goal is not big enough.Most give up when they are closer to obtaining than they realize.Never,Never,Never give up keep moving in the direction you see fit.The possibilities are far greater by reaching your achievement than giving up mid stream.The value is far greater than any obstacle that you cross.Dream big and set your goals high. Live for more than just getting through the day.It Will Take Some Effort. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Happy Monday everyone.

A Full Time Job

I took this picture a couple years ago. This is at lake Mirrmonte near Norwood CO.

I don't know if you have been informed but life is a full time job. Don't take one minute for granted.God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. I suggest that you use the time given wisely. I would suggest using at least some of the seconds to thank him. Use another to thank the ones that are in your life.Choose to use the leftover minutes to improve your well being and others around you.

If you quit before the work is completed, the work you’ve done is wasted. Honor the time and effort you’ve already put into it by finishing what you started. If you plant a seed, and water it just for a few days, and then stop, you might as well have never planted it. Remember to direct your focus again and again toward those things you’re committed to completing. Being inspired for a few minutes or for a day or two feels good. Being inspired for a lifetime is what actually achieves good results. Then remind yourself again, and again, on every day, in each new situation. Then commit yourself to staying connected. Don’t settle for just a few moments here and there of brilliance.Choose to make every second count. Make life’s richness a full-time thing.Life is a full time job and if you quit early your boss will not be happy with you.Put in a little extra effort today. Tell a loved one that you love them. Tell an stranger or enemy that you care.Then take the gift of time to move your life forward. Remember to never regret a second and be sure to break the rules once in awhile.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

God Bless

One Day You Will Stop Making Excuses

Our beautiful Black Canyon. The entrance to this beautiful place is 15 miles from our home. Love It!

One day you will stop making excuses and start making it happen.One day you will except each moment for what it is and except that it's a precious gift.One day you'll stop worrying about what people say or think.One day you'll take full advantage of your knowledge and time and move closer to your goals.One day you will focus all your energy and thoughts in the direction of your highest vision.One day you'll decide to live each moment with meaning and purpose.Regardless of the petty things that hold us back in life.One day you will commit all you have to being the very best you can be.Well today is ONE DAY... Today is that day you finally decide to make it happen.When you believe you can do it your off to a good start. When you know you can do it without a doubt it will happen.One of our biggest obstacles is doubt. Doubt will delay you, Doubt will distract you and prevent you from taking action.Leave your doubts in the dust and make today the day. Make today One Day. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far. It's a beautiful sunny 65 deg. day here in Colorado.Loving Life!

It's Up To You,To Be Happy

A duck taking off from the river. I took this as the snow was melting this past winter.

It's up to you to be happy.It's easy to be miserable but it's just as easy to be happy.Being miserable will support your ego but being happy will bring you inner peace and power.Choosing to be miserable can be very complicated and disturbing.But being happy will bring you freedom and joy. Also at times others might be suspicious or even resentful towards your own happiness.Once you have chosen to be miserable you will find that it's much harder to stay in that state of mind than it is to be happy.Being happy will bring you power and a positive outlook on life.At times we all get in a funk and look at how bad things are.Instead you should focus that energy on making things better and finding happiness.I think at times we often set the bar to high for happiness. It doesn't take much effort to reach the bar if you put it in reach.You must make the decision every moment of your life to either be miserable or be happy. It's completely up to you to and your decision to make.So climb out of your funk and start today by choosing to be happy.Remember no matter how bad things might seem someone always has it worse than you.So hold your head high and your shoulders back with confidence.It's Up To You,To Be Happy. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Happy Friday Everyone, hope you have a great day.

Use these choices to your advantage.Make the right choices to insure living your life the way you want to live it.
