Be Strong

Another one from Crested Butte Colorado.

Today is the day to be strong.You have more strength than you could ever imagine.Combine what you know with some confidence and your on your way.Being strong when facing a difficult situation is not a matter of skill or ability,it's a choice that you are free to make at any time.Life can be difficult,unfair and demanding but you have succeeded in the past and you will succeed again.Life can be tough and painful but this is why it can also be wonderful and fulfilling.Without the challenges life would be boring.The good times would not be so great if we did not have to be strong and work for them.When life is getting you down the best choice is to be strong.Hold your ground and stand tall.When you get knocked down,be strong and get back up.Keep getting back up again and again.No matter the situation choose to be strong and before you know it you will be on top once again.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Another day of being strong allowed us to make it through Monday and into Tuesday.

Take Control

Mt.Crested Butte in Crested Butte Colorado.

Take Control of your life today.Give yourself a positive direction,it won't be easy and might take some work but you can do it.Look down the road and try to capture the big picture.Make your choices based on the big picture and not what's going on right now.What's going on today might be irrelevant tomorrow.Today's problems might have no bearing on you down the road.Don't be tempted by the short or easy routes. Choose the best route for you no matter what it might entail.Look at the big picture instead of the obstacles that might be in the way.You have always found a way around the obstacles.So choose to do it and make it happen. After you have chosen your route the next thing is to not be persuaded by any of life's distractions no matter what they might be. Stay focused and stay on track,focus your energy on what truly matters.Next let go of your anxieties.This is easier said than done but all they will do is cloud your judgement and slow your progress.Once this is done the only thing left to do is keep your head up,stay positive and put one foot in front of the other.You can do it if you take control.Take control today and never give up.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Monday is here,but the good news is we're one day closer to the weekend. Have a great Monday everyone.

Make Life Easier

Lake San Chistobal near Lake City Colorado.

Make Life Easier.You can choose to make your life easier if you want to.You can sit around and let the cards fall where they may but this will not help.You have to make the choice to start weeding out the problems in your life one by one. One at a time you can make life easier.Pick one of your head aches that seems to take up your precious time.Something that is always bothering you,something that you often complain about.Stop complaining and start fixing the problem. Look down deep and get to the root of the problem.Then don't just cover it up or make excuses. A band aid fix is just a quick cover up and will allow the problem to resurface later on down the road.It will take a little more work to truly fix the problem but it will be worth your efforts.Get to the root of the problem and eliminate it.Make a oath to yourself to rid of it forever.Never look back and keep on moving forward.The sooner you start working on eliminating the problem the sooner it will be out of your hair.Running from the problem or ignoring it will not make life easier.In fact a quick fix solution will often make the problem worse.So stop delaying and get to work making your life easier. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Have a blessed Sunday everyone

It's Ok To Be Different

Bridalveil falls near Telluride,Colorado.

It's Ok To Be Different. In this world there are leaders and there are followers.Even if your decision to take a different route does not pan out it's still ok. There are many ways to achieve a goal and many ways to get there.One way might work for you that doesn't work for someone else.Unless you decide to be different once in awhile you will never know if the other road was a better route.When times are stressful choose to be different,choose to be positive and encouraging.Just because others are heading in a negative direction doesn't mean you have to go with them.Perhaps it's time for you to go your own direction and look for a positive solution.When someone is being rude it doesn't mean that you need to be rude back. Kill them with kindness,show them that you have a choice and what that choice is.While others are looking for someone to blame for something that has already happened, choose to be different and look into the future.Instead of wasting time on the past use that energy to create a better future.When others see a situation as bad, choose to move on and find a positive more promising situation.Sure it takes courage and confidence to be different but the rewards are endless.It's Ok To Be Different. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone is having a great week.

Life's To Short

Ice climber a couple weekends ago at the Ouray Ice Park.

Life's To Short in deed. No one knows the time we will have but most agree it's to short.So while your here,why not make the best of it?Why not live with happiness and no regrets? You can be allot happier if you choose to be.No matter what hand you are dealt you can choose to be happy.Let the silly little things that normally bother you pass on by.This will reduce the stress and ease life a bit.Imagine how life would be if half of your frustrations were gone.Well you can let them go if you choose to.Free up time and energy by not sweating the small stuff.This will allow you to work on the things that really matter.No matter how difficult a situation might seem you have the power to work out a solution and move on.By worrying and complaining you are doing nothing but stalling.You're making the situation worse and wasting the energy that should be directed to fixing the problem.When a problem arises ask your self is it really that big of a problem? Is it something I need to fix now or just let it go forever.Allot of the little things that are let go never surface again.So why spend the time worrying about the little things?Be firm about what matters and flexible about what doesn't.Don't waste your time or energy on the little things and your life will suddenly be extended. Life's To Short in deed so get busy on what's important. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Happy Hump Day everyone and open the front door and welcome spring in today.

Look Deeper

The beautiful Beaumont Hotel,built in 1887-Ouray Colorado

Look Deeper into every situation.If your having doubt about something look into it a little bit deeper.When you see negativity look deeper past the surface.Normally the surface is where the negativity lies.Looking beneath the surface will often uncover a different perspective.When looking deeper into any problem you will often find optimism and some opportunity. An opportunity to turn it into a positive.Defeat can be turned into a victory by looking a little deeper.Look past the defeat and find something positive in the situation. For instance you probably will never be defeated in that way again.You see what didn't work on the surface,look a little deeper and see what will work next time.Notice how some people seem to always be able to turn negatives into positives.This is accomplished by looking at the whole picture and digging a little deeper.Take a deep breath and look deeper. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.We're a little bit deeper into the week and a little bit closer to Friday.

Have Confidence

Last weekend we stopped to check out the 21' wing span at the Dennis Weaver Memorial Park

You can do anything you want to do with a little confidence. Have confidence and you can sore like an eagle.Step out of your box and go beyond what you know you can do.Challenge yourself with every opportunity to go just a little bit further,a little bit longer and a little bit higher.There is no short cut to confidence but it might be closer than you think.Have confidence with every thing you do and it will lead to bigger and better things.Give 100% effort with every situation and your confidence will build.If you say you can't,you won't,but it you say you can,you will.Start with something small and jump in feet first.Jump in knowing that you can and build the confidence you will need to succeed.If at first you fail don't get frustrated.Take the knowledge you learned and a little bit of confidence and try again.Have Confidence with everything you do and you will succeed. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Another week is here and Monday is half over.Have confidence that Friday is coming.

Dreams Come True

A deer watching us as we walked in the snow last weekend.

Dreams Come True,they really do but you have to put a little effort into them.Dreams that are never acted on are just dreams that eventually die.These are just empty wishes that could of been.However if you act on those wishes you can turn them into answered dreams.There's no better feeling than acting on a dream and having it come true.You have gained allot of value in your life and you had to work for it.Where you are today is because of hard work and dedication.There's no better place than where you are now to start working towards your next dream.Today is filled with valuable time so use it wisely.Saying what you would like to have or wishing for something you want is just the start.The next step is acting on your thoughts.Think of a plan of action and act on it.Within every moment lies a new opportunity to move one step closer to your dreams becoming a reality.The main difference between what you have,and what you want,is what you do.What you do will take you from desire to fulfillment.Dreams Do Come True.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Happy St.Patrick's Day,hope everyone has a great day and are safe.

A Great Day

Another one from last weeks trip to Ouray.This is the Elks Lodge,#492 established.

Today is a great day.You are awake and alive and that's a great start.What you might not understand is how much control you have of it.You control your actions that will affect your tomorrow.How you think,act and perform can change the outcome of your future.Today is a great day to act on your dreams,fulfill your desires and take the steps needed to having a better life.Take the time to understand the value of what you have already accomplished.The future might seem like a long ways away but it's closer than you might think.Today is the day to decide how you want to live and how you will live in the future.What you do today will affect the quality of your future and others around you.What you choose to do today might cause new burdens or it might bring new treasures.The best part of it all is that it's your choice.Your choice to pick and choose what happens.I bet you never thought when you woke up today that this day would be so important.Yes in deed today is A Great Day.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Wishing everyone a Happy and Safe St.Patricks Day Weekend.

Making Mistakes

Another beautiful sunset on our lake 3-11-13

Making Mistakes are a part of life.In fact a life full of mistakes is better than doing nothing at all.Mistakes show that you have courage and the will to move forward.With mistake you will gain knowledge,strength and value.No matter what, do your best to get it right and don't be persuaded by the fear of getting it wrong.Things might not always turn out as planned but that doesn't mean that you haven't gained in the process.There are many ways to get where you want to go so don't be discouraged if it takes a little bit longer to get there.The important part is that you never give up.The achievements gained will far out weight the mistakes along the way.One way to avoid mistakes is to do nothing at all but that would be a much bigger mistake.Keep your head up and keep moving forward and you will make it.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Hope everyone is enjoying the change of seasons.Spring is in the air.

Be Satisfied

Another one from this past weekend in Ouray,CO.

Be Satisfied in deed. Be satisfied with where your at and who you are.This doesn't mean that there's no room for improvement or dreams to be followed. What it means is you're free of resentment and regret. It means that you are free to move forward and make life even better.Often we get caught up in needing more out of life and not really enjoying what we already have.Life is very simple if we choose to make it simple.It take very little to be happy if you allow yourself to do so.Be satisfied with where your at  and you will have what it takes to go where you want to go.Don't waste energy on what already is.Use your energy for what can be.Embrace the situation that you are in now and move forward.By being truly grateful for what life is will open up opportunities you never knew existed.Be satisfied and free yourself of the stress.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Happy,Happy Wednesday everyone.

Move On

Another panorama picture from our trip to Ouray this past weekend

Move On and get over it.Drama is a part of everyday life but it doesn't have to bring you down.It doesn't have to make you depressed or add anxiety to your life.The reason this happens is because we allow it to bother us.It's your decision and only your decision on how you choose to handle each situation that arises.Often we spend time talking to others and complaining about issues that come up.This is the worst thing you can do.The best thing you can do is choose to not let it bother you.Let someone else worry about it.Don't let something someone said bother you.We all have different views and opinions and that's what makes us unique.Most of the time we get stressed out because of someone else's problem or someone else's view.This is a waste of time and energy.Choose to move on and concentrate on what you can fix.Take the negative energy and turn it into positive energy.Put a smile on your face and think about your happy place.Go there now and make life easier on yourself and others around you.Life's to short to sweat the small stuff and for heaven sake don't turn the mole hills into mountains.Move on with no regrets and life will be better than you ever imagined.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Happy,Happy Tuesday everyone.

Need Less

Panorama taken this past weekend in Ouray,Colorado

I have often said that there are two ways to get enough.One is to keep acquiring more and more and the other is to need less.Let go of the need to do or have.Put all your anxiety aside and let go of all the stress. Life is what it is and acquiring will not make you happy.You must first be thankful for what you already have.Every day is a gift and has value regardless of your situation.Open your eyes,mind and heart.Change your perspective and change your needs.It’s not the acquiring that brings you down and holds you back. It’s the feeling of constantly needing to acquire, to possess, that becomes so tiresome.Chasing what you think you need takes up your time and energy.Don't let what you think you need get in the way from enjoying what you already have.Each need is potentially a burden and most can be let go of.Don't let life's needs or dramas get you down.Set the daily drama aside and enjoy whats in front of you,need less. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.Happy Monday everyone have a great week.

Life Is

Sunrise the other morning.

Life Is, yes life is exactly that. Life is not the way it's supposed to be,it's the way it is.The way we cope with it is what really matters.Be happy with what you have before it turns into what you had.There will be many ups and downs on the journey but remember to take advantage of both.Every thing happens for a reason and it always seems to work out in the end.So keep your head up and fight to the end.Perhaps take a deep breath and walk away for a moment.Understand the true meaning and look at the big picture.You can do it and you will succeed,after all you are here now and probably thought at some point that you would not make it.Use your experiences to your full advantage. Many of life's experiences are repeated in a similar way.Think back how you did it before.Perhaps your choices were not perfect but you did make it.So change your thoughts just a bit.Make a slightly different plan and work on it.Act it out and move forward step by step. You can do it and you will if you stay positive. Life is not always what we expect or want it to be but we have choices and can act on them.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Life Is! Welcome Tuesday as it came and get ready for Wednesday. Sweet Dreams everyone.

What Would You Do?

A close up shot of yesterdays picture.

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,say,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.
