Reality is Relative

 First Umpire: “I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em.”

Second Umpire: “I calls ‘em as they is.”

Third Umpire: “They ain’t nothing ’til I calls ‘em!”

Guess which perspective I like?  L.M.

Going with the Flow

“Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.”
                                                                           ~Agnes De Mille

Who ARE You?

Some of us take a little longer than others. L.M. 

“It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are.”

This or That?

So many choices, so little time.  I hear that clock ticking inside my head all the time. What’s really important to me?  My animals have it easy, they just are. How about you? L.M.

“Managing the power of choice, with all its creative and spiritual implications is the essence of the human experience.”

Tenacity

Living the Ordinary Life in an Extraordinary Way

 When I saw this one tough little yellow flower proudly and tenaciously determined to bloom in the most difficult of circumstances– in the desert, on a pueblo wall, I was in awe of its courage. I took this photo years ago and it still speaks to me.

One More Time, With Feeling!

Talk about a lightbulb moment. Guess I’m in good company…. L.M.

“I haven’t failed, I’ve just identified 10,000 ways it doesn’t work.”

Thomas Edison

Just DO IT!

This quote reminds a commitment-phobe like me, that making a definite, clear, concise choice is a necessity for success. I need to work on this a LOT more. L.M.

“Concerning all acts of initiative there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.  All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.  A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no (human) could have dreamed would have come his way.”

Goethe

Who you callin' perfect?!?!

This keeps me willing to try new things in spite of my innate ability to fail.  I’ve failed so many times, it doesn’t even hurt anymore…. the fun of exploring new ways of doing things is well worth the possiblity of failure.  L.M.

” Usually, when we say we can’t do something, what we mean is that we won’t do something unless we can guarantee that we’ll do it perfectly… We unrealistically expect and demand success from ourselves and recognition of that success from others. With that as an unspoken demand, a great many things remain outside our sphere of possibility.”

On a Lighter Note

Then again, a bit of thought on what you are about to do isn’t all bad…. L.M.
