When You Least Expect It

I haven't had a chance to get any winter pictures this year. So here is one from last year. Telluride Colorado.

Life will change when you least expect it. Sometimes change will come in different ways. Often change will come with little understanding. Any change that's not expected will come as a surprise. Regardless of the outcome we should except it and understand that everything happens for a reason. When you least expect it life might deal you a disappointing blow. You should use this experience to your full advantage. Learn from it, except it and understand that good things will eventually come from this change. If you stay positive and understand that most is out of our control. He has a plan for us all and it's not really meant for us to understand. Be assured that good things are coming and will happen when you least expect it. Don't try to hard to make things the way you want them to be. Let faith run it's course and it will all work out. If something doesn't work out then it wasn't meant to be. Life is amazing if you except it for what it is. Be patient and when you least expect it you will be on top of the world. Don't forget to love always, forgive and smile along the way.

The Gift Of Giving

A picture from last winter. Frosty trees in Telluride Colorado.

On this day and everyday give the gift of giving. Not just because it's Christmas but because you can. We all have the amazing gift to give to others. Giving is more than the offering of objects. The most important things we have to give are not objects at all. Give the gift of yourself. Try giving your time, your love, your attention, patience and respect. These are parts of yourself that you will never loose by giving. The more you give the more you will receive in return. By giving these things to others it will have a greater influence than any object ever will. By giving these few simple things you will open your heart and and bring joy to your life. The more you give the more you will have to offer to others. It's a never ending supply that we all have within us. You don't have to wait for any special day or any special time. Choose to offer this gift on a daily basis and your life will shine bright. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to our Lord Jesus Christ. While you enjoying the day with friends and family make sure you offer the gift of giving.

Be Creative

One of my favorite pictures from last year. An artist painting on Main St.-Telluride Colorado.

Be Creative with everything you do. Just because something isn't working out the way you expect it to doesn't mean that you can't make it happen by taking a different approach. A creative approach might be the answer. Something new,something different might help you obtain the task. Creativity can be used at any time if you choose to use it. Open your eyes and your mind and try something different. Today is a new day so use the knowledge you already have and be creative with your decisions and the actions you take. You can learn from your past experiences but you can also improve on them as well. Being creative might make things easier. When the possibilities aren't to your liking, open up and be creative. When you feel like you're stuck, try a different route. There are always more than one way to reach a goal or solve a problem. So why not be creative and open up a different avenue, you'll be glad you did. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. Hope everyone is having a great weekend and added some creativity to it.

Reason To Succeed

Another beautiful sunset on our lake.

Everything happens for a reason. We often don't understand why things happen but often get caught up in the outcome instead of what could be. We seem to focus on the negatives in life rather than the positives. When a problem arises we think of a reason to fail instead of a reason to succeed. Don't get caught up with the wrong reasons. If you are in a state of negativity then you won't succeed. It's just as easy to turn it around and look for a reason to succeed. Find a reason to do what it takes to move to the next level. This reason will allow you to be the best you can be. This reason will open up many opportunities. Find a reason to make the effort, to concur the obstacles that are in front of you. Find a reason to deal with the challenges and get on to accomplishing your dreams. Every time you become discouraged hold this reason close to your heart. Stop making excuses and start finding a reason to succeed. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone is having a great week.

Living In The Past

Winter Ouray Colorado.

Living in the past will do nothing but slow you down. Take your past experiences and learn from them but don't dwell on them to much. Could you imagine what life would be like if you woke up every morning with no recollection of the past? You would jump out of bed with enthusiasm and confidence. You would wonder what the new day will bring. Well you can choose to do this regardless of what has happened in the past. Your past can inspire you and help you understand who you are. However it doesn't have to hold you back. It shouldn't stop you from being who you want to be. No problems from the past should inspire you to ever give up. The past should give you motivation to move forward.  Every day is a new day and you can choose how you feel and how you act. Every morning should start out free of regret, anger or doubts. Use your past as a pathway to great achievements. Hold on to the good and let go of the bad. Make a better tomorrow by choosing what you do today. This my friends is how we live in the past. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend and thanks again for visiting my thought today.

Beautiful World

Winter in Ouray Colorado (Little Switzerland Of America) 30 Minutes from our home.

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 our self and no one can take it away. Beauty can relax, inspire and energize us.We live in a world surrounded by beauty so reach out and grab it today. 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. Slow down a bit and look at what's going on around you, a beautiful world in deed. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. We have almost made it through another week and the weekend is close. Take some time to enjoy the beautiful world we live in.

Fishing below Crystal Dam in the Black Canyon.

Life is change,life is full of change with every moment. I speak of this often. If life can constantly be changing then why is it so hard for us to change? Well good news, it's just as easy to make changes in yourself as it is with each moment. You have to start with excepting change without judgement,fear or anxiety. All of these will do nothing but slow the process down. 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. You might feel stuck or lost in the moment but that's not the case at all. With every moment in time there are countless possibilities waiting for you. With an open mind,a little time,commitment and effort you can make it happen. 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. You might be in a difficult financial situation or perhaps a tough spot in a relationship. Again you can change all this any time you want to. You have the power and ability to change with life as it comes and goes. You do this all the time but perhaps you don't realize it or take it for granted. Life is change and you must remember that you can change to. Everything happens for a reason so let it happen and enjoy the chance. 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.

Respect Others

A panorama picture of our beautiful San Juan Mountains last weekend.

Respect others. Most have no problem respecting our friends and family but we often forget to respect the ones we don't know. You should take notice and try to understand others around you. The person behind you at the supermarket. The one walking down the sidewalk and yes perhaps even the one that cuts you off while driving. Even if you don't agree with them respect others opinions. Everyone around you is important and brings value to your life. Give others your full attention even if it's only for a brief moment. Sometimes that split second is all it takes to bring a smile to someone's face. To brighten someone else's day will bring value and joy to your day as well. Each person has hopes, dreams, pains and problems. Some are the same as yours some may be different. Try to understand them like you would your own. Treat others how you wish to be treated. Yes in deed bring value to your life by respect others. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a respectful day and thank you for visiting my thought today.

The Truth

Saturday in the Black Canyon below Crystal Reservoir.

 The Truth is not always easy. The truth is not always understood and often mistaken. 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 you put on yourself. 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. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and thanks for visiting my thought today.

God Bless
