“A good memory is one that can remember the day’s blessings and forget the day’s troubles.”

It’s a beautiful morning here on St. Thomas today. I hope you are enjoying a sweet Sunday morning too!
So I’m still feeling a little bit giddy after a successful day of selling on eBay yesterday. Oh, and might I add seeing 11:11 the past two morning 🙂
I spent a good hour yesterday up in my attic, sorting through all kinds of stuff. Old designer suits I’ll never wear again, holiday decorations, unused art & collectibles …
“Like the sky opens after a rainy day we must open to ourselves…. Learn to love yourself for who you are and open so the world can see you shine.”

Good morning friends. I loved seeing this beautiful red sky, before the sun blazed up into our clear blue skies. Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful weekend !!
It’s no doubt that one of the first messages I saw this morning on Facebook was from my friend Laurel over at Illuminating Souls: “Sometimes we pick up energy & emotions that are not ours. If you’re feeling overwhelmed & don’t know why, ask the angels to clear away anything that does not belong to you. Sit for a few moments and imagine the angels gently clearing your energy field. You will feel so much better.”
“We are not on this earth to just stand still & look pretty. The museums already have enough statues.”
~ Mandy Hale
The multiple layers of clouds seemed to fill my mood with a sense of melancholy this morning. Sometimes when I look out over the vast open waters, spirit seems very near. Everywhere. Other days, like today, I couldn’t help but wander, what is my purpose in all of this …
As John Muir would say, the vastness of Glacier National Park and the Big Sky Country of Montana would change me. One of the most mind-opening experiences came at a stop to a historical point along the Yellowstone River.
“Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.”
~ Paramahansa Yogananda
I was surprised to find an overcast sky this morning. It feels like the clouds will burn off rather quickly, but I never doubt what the universe sends me …
I couldn’t believe yesterday how frequently my message was repeated by others. Or is Facebook simply turning into Google AdSense and sending me page feeds based on things I type or click-throughs ?? It’s beginning to feel that way …
“Quality is never an accident; It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; It represents the wise choice of many alternatives.”
~ William A Foster
Good morning friends ! What a beautiful display of light mother nature provided this morning. And for some reason, I couldn’t get this Sarah Evans song out of my mind ….
Oh, how do you wait for heaven
And who has that much time
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
When you know, that you were born
You were born yeah
You were born to fly
“The infinite wonders of the universe are revealed to us in exact measure as we are capable of receiving them. The keenness of our vision depends not on how much we can see, but on how much we feel.”
~ Helen Keller
“98% of your thoughts are a complete waste of time. They do nothing but freak you out.”
~ Michael Singer, author The Untethered Soul
What a beautiful morning here in the Virgin Islands. A light misting of rain from a passing cloud had just cleared the air as I woke up, making everything outside feel fresh and alive. Getting outside to be one with nature. I can’t think of a better way to set the tone for the day.
As I sat with my thoughts this morning, resting with self, watching thoughts drift by like the clouds, my mind caught on a phrase from a book I read over vacation, The Untethered Soul, by Michael Singer:
“Expect to have hope re-kindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.”
~ Sarah Ban Breathnach
I love this quote by Sarah B, author of the Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy. It’s a book I’ve had on my Amazon wish list for some time.
I give gratitude every day to wake up to this beautiful sunrise. Be it rain or shine, it’s always a blessing, my simple abundance.
