Spreading Our Wings


If water sits too long it becomes stagnant.

People can stagnate as well. 

Life's journey can be summed up by lessons learned/knowledge accumulated. However, the process can be exhilarating!

Buddha reminds us that each day is a new beginning. We are invited to live each day to the fullest...as though it were our first and our last.

Write that poem or novel or essay. Not a best-seller? Who cares! Plant that garden or flower-bed. Cut or grow your hair. Change life up. Read that classic or new novel. Reach out...take a chance. Shock the neighbors. Shock yourself. Learn a language. Try a new recipe. Grab those paints or that clay and create. Knit or crochet a snood. Take up an instrument. Have a glass of wine. Ride your bike to work. Build a Pergola. Order Chinese carry-out in Chinese :)  Moodle. Re-vamp your wardrobe. Buy a sassy hat. Re-Decorate. Listen to a different type of music for the day. Learn a new word. Use it everywhere! Introverted...seek out a crowd...throw a party. Extroverted...take a day of silent meditation. Take a vow of whatever. Step outside your comfort zone. Learn about cultures/religions/people different than your own. Borrow a puppy or kitten or small child for the day. Look at the world through the eyes of a five year old.  Laugh more...play more...explore.

Spread Your Wings!
