Need Less

I captured this amazing place in Ironton CO. on Red Mountain Pass, Friday morning.

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 and 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 and need less. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone is having a great weekend and is needing less.

Give Your Best

Picture taken yesterday between Silverton CO. and Durango CO. near Mollas Pass.

Give Your Best Today. Give today meaning and live with passion. Treat each moment like it's your last, because it very well may be. You never no what life has in store for you. Don't take one moment for granted. You can never relive any moment in time. Once it's gone it's gone forever. Each moment is unique and different and is a chance to fulfill your dreams. Don't get caught up in the way you think it should be or the way you want it. Instead take advantage of what it is. Let the downfalls serve as guides of where to make improvements. There's no better time than now to reach out and grab your dreams. Hold on to it and make it happen. Give your best today and tomorrow will be even better. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone is having the best Thursday and thanks again for visiting my thought today.

The Right Choices

Last fall at River Bottom Park in Montose Colorado.

The Right Choices are not always easy to make,and we don't always make them. However if you put a little thought into your choices you will be more successful. The choices you make will make you who you are and who you choose to be. Think about who and how you want your life to be and let those visions guide you in making the right choices. Allot of our wrong choices in life are due to bad habits that bring us down. It's not easy to break a bad habit but it is possible if you put your mind to it. If you keep getting bit by the same old habit perhaps you need to try something different. Perhaps you should stop and focus on a different direction. Try a different approach even though it might not work,understanding you have nothing to loose because the other way isn't working either. Remember you always have other options and there is more than one way to achieve a goal. Making the right choices will make it easier to get there. Once you break out of your shell and find a different way you will realize that there's nothing you can't accomplish if you put your mind to it. Put one foot in front of the other and make the right choices. Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way. Wishing everyone a happy Friday and thanks again for visiting my thought today.

A Wider View

I'm ready for fall and it's just around the corner. Here is a picture from fall last year. Our beautiful Mt. Sneffels outside of Ridgeway Colorado.

A wider view in life will brighten your future. Don't go through your daily motions with tunnel vision. If you are struggling to find the answers, perhaps it's because you're constantly looking where you've already looked. Step out of your box and widen your view. Take a look at the whole picture and everything that surrounds it. That answer might be closer than you think. But in order to find it you're going to have to open yourself up to new possibilities. Everyday is different, people change, situations change and so should life. Change is often good if you allow it to happen. If you live in the past or continue to see things the way you did yesterday, you're going to miss out on new opportunities. So today is that day if you choose to let it happen. Choose to widen your view and live life to it's fullest potential. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and as always thanks for visiting my thought today.

Look Ahead

Fall is almost here so I thought I would pull one out of the archives. Love the fall colors.


Look ahead and except change. This is a common subject with me because life is full of change. We often fear change thus prolonging it. We get stuck in our ways and don't want to look ahead. No matter what life may throw at you, whatever challenges you may face, always keep in mind that success is always an option with change. Look at the big picture and choose to look ahead. You might feel stuck or lost in the moment but life doesn't have to be this way. At times you might feel alone, sad, angry and frustrated. That's OK if you keep in mind that you can change all of these feelings and situations by looking ahead. Don't let yourself get stuck in the moment. Imagine what could be instead of what might be. It is better to face your fears than to live in constant fear. Don't forget to look ahead, love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. We have almost made it through another week. I hope it's been a great week so far while you were looking ahead towards the weekend.

Things You Can Change

A beautiful sunset on the lake last night.

Work on the things you can change. I speak of this often and feel it's very important. In life there will always be things you can change and things you can't. Some things are just out of our control and are a waste of time to worry about them. Life is to short to spend time on them. Don't misunderstand me, you should notice them and understand that the things that you can't change will teach you patience give your courage and move you forward. But just don't spend to much time focusing on them. Use your time wisely to work on the things that you can change. The more you work on the things that you can change the better life will be around you. The sooner you except the things that you can't change the sooner you will be laying the ground work for the things that you can change. In both situations be sure to make the best of both. Learn from both and put into action the things that you can change. Be sure to shine your light and shine it bright. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a great weekend and thanks again for visiting my thought today.
