You Have A Choice

Looking across the valley in Mountain Village CO. on Saturday.

You have a choice. Stress seems to be a major part of many peoples world today. Well you have a choice. Life doesn't have to be this way at all. In most cases stress is what you make it. Or even more so, stress is a reaction that you choose in a certain situation. Allot of the times we cause ourselves more stress than what is needed. In many cases the situation is because of a bad decision that we have made. Then we make it worse by stressing out. We take a situation and respond with a stressful attitude. Instead, choose to respond with love and determination and you will find life much easier. Use positive action instead of negative action. It's your choice and it's yours to make. Don't sweat the small stuff and don't turn mole hills into mountains. Take life one step at a time placing one foot in front of the other. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. Have a great Monday everyone and thanks for visiting my thought today.

Treasure Every Step

The gondola on it's way to up to Mountain Village.

Treasure every step you take. Don't rush them, they have more value than you could ever imagine. Don't worry that you're not there yet. Part of the process to reaching a goal is the process of getting there. If things happened over night they would lack value and substance. The journey along the way has great value in deed. The more effort you put forth the more value the goal becomes. With every step you gain knowledge and wisdom. Don't be afraid of the time it will take to reach your goal. When your moving in the right direction take time to enjoy each step along the way. Be thankful that you're headed in the right direction. Don't get caught up in how long it has taken. Enjoy where you are and how far you have come. Remember you can't turn the corner until you come to it. Do the work and treasure every step it takes to get to the corner. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. We have made it to the corner of the week, Wednesday is here. Now lets turn the corner and treasure every step.

Work On The Things You Can Change

Some ice in the Black Canyon last week.


Work on the things you can change. 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. Happy Tuesday everyone and thanks for visiting my thought today.

Turn It Around

Following up last weeks golden eagle picture with this weeks bald eagle picture.

Tomorrow is the day that you can turn it around. If today was not so great, tomorrow can be better. If life is getting you down make a promise to yourself to turn it around. The first step to solving any problem is changing your thought process. When it's not going well then make a change and turn it around. It's really not that hard to turn a disappointing and frustrating day around. All you have to do is choose to make a change. Turn a negative into a positive by heading in the right direction. Wake up with a smile and start your day off right. Don't focus on the negatives so much that you drown out the positives. There are positives occurring all around us, the problem is we miss them. We are so caught up in the every day drama that we miss the positives. Instead of looking for reasons to complain, look for ways to laugh. Do something that puts a smile on your face and the others around you. Make life fun and turn it around. No matter what you have to achieve, challenge yourself to make it fun. Look for the positives and turn it around. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. After all tomorrow is Tuesday, what a perfect day to turn it around.

Don't Stop Yourself

A beautiful morning below Morrow Point Dam last Monday.

Don't stop yourself today or tomorrow. In the past you have stopped yourself more than you can ever imagine. We often make excuses why we can't do something. We stop ourselves before we even get started. Some times we  even place blame on others why we can't achieve a goal. This is again stopping yourself from doing what should and could be done. Stop holding yourself back and get busy with the task at hand. Having doubts have no value to you or others around you. No mountain is to high, no goal is unreachable. The only limitations that can stop you are the limitations you place on yourself. You have to let go of those thoughts and carry through with what you intended on doing. Stop holding yourself back, take action today. Don't stop yourself from rising to the top. Stay positive and stay focused, you can do it. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a wonderful Saturday and thanks for visiting my thought today.

Temporary Situations

An eagle posted up in a tree, yesterday in the Black Canyon.

Everything in life is temporary. This day will pass just as yesterday did and just like tomorrow will.
So no matter what's going on in your world keep in mind that it's only temporary. Situations change so does life. While you're in this day give it your best effort. Do everything you can to make tomorrow even better. If things are difficult right now you can make them better. As good as life is right now you can make it even better. Always work to create a positive future and be sure to take advantage of the good things each and every day. All situations are temporary so work to make the most positive outcome you can. If life is going well, make the most of your situation. Work to make the situation even better. If life is not going well keep in mind that it's only temporary, continue forward and take the steps to make it better. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. I hope everyone had a wonderful Tuesday.

Do It Anyway

Some ice on the river today.

There will always be someone there to criticize what you do and the choices you make. But do it anyway. There will be setbacks along the way but choose to do it anyway. It will take longer than expected to accomplish but do it anyway. Right now there is something that you probably want to do but you keep making excuses not to do it. You should set your goals no matter what is slowing your decision and just get it done. If it's something you are thinking about and it really means something to you then it's meant to be done. It won't just happen on it's own. You must put effort in and do it anyway. Stay positive and take that first step to move forward. It might just be easier to reach than you think. There's no better time than now to get it done. Just Do It Anyway. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way. Thanks for visiting my thought today.

God Bless
