How did it fit in a tiny space?

Trying to hide the Christmas gifts so they don't see them means simply wrapping quickly and slapping on a name tag and stacking it in a closet. No name tag would mean you would have to open it later to see what it is. It usually doesn't work trying to remember the shape of the package because it is easy to forget just what shapes they are. Later on you can sit down and put the ribbons and bows on which will disguise how rushed it was wrapped. Till then they stack neatly all tightly in a corner but to protect the bows they will now have to be spaced out all over the place. As you look around enjoying all the beautifully decorated gifts it is always amazing that they all fit into that tiny closet. They are mesmerizingly beautiful despite that you had just shoved them in after they were quickly wrapped.

What if they were listening?

What would you say to someone if you could get them to listen? It is your chance to plant a positive idea or message in a World full of negative ones. I will include some of them in a future post. There is such an overwhelming need for positive ideas and messages in the World. Send yours to share to Billie Bob P.O. BOX 1493 Middleburg, Florida 32050. No one can ever learn something if it was never taught. Share your ideas, lessons and traditions to pass on to others. The World won't get better on it's own we all must do what we can so pass it on. What would you say to someone if you could get them to listen?

You will only get what you put into it

Sooner or later it is clear to you that you will reap what you sow. It is true that you will only get out of it what you put into it. If a farmer planted only trees instead of mostly vegetables then instead of harvesting food he would create a forest. The Three Little Pigs are a good example. Building a house out of material that won't withstand the Big Bad Wolf won't save them from the Big Bad Wolf. If you want to reap the benefit for all your hard work then you will have to make sure what you do will reap the benefits that you are after.

Nature is Yoga for your mind

Have you ever watched a cloud race? If you haven't you just got to watch one. There are some clouds that even though they look much bigger and heavier they just fly right on by those little ones. Whenever you are stuck sitting and waiting somewhere anyways you can just look up and there is usually a race in progress. It is Yoga for your mind and meditation all rolled into one. It is peaceful and relaxing leaving you feeling refreshed. If it is not a cloudy day you can just look down and see what bugs you can watch race about always in a hurry to go somewhere perhaps you can find out where that is. When you need refreshed just look around.

No matter "how" or "why"

If a change is necessary then make the changes that are necessary. If you know it is time for a change then what are you waiting for? It may not be comfortable and it may even be difficult but it is necessary if you want things to change. If it's time for a change in your life then does it really matter what time it is or how hard it will be? Some people spend all their time asking why things happen and some asking how it could even possibly have happened. Yet there are others who make things happen by realizing that no matter "how" or "why" it happened they will just have to do whatever is necessary to change it.

You might regret it

It is what it is. Without a doubt those words leave no room for "what if's?" It's as final as what's done is done. All the more reason why you got to stop and think long and hard about what you are about to do or say because once you do then...What's done is done. Taking a moment to think about it before you react is the only way to be sure once you act on it you won't regret it when you are done. The only regrets you have in life are for the things you didn't do and the things you wish you had not done. Try to live life with no regrets.

Enjoy it while you are able to

When we are young we dream of being able to do things that we are just not old enough to do. When we are old we dream of being able to do things that we are just too old to do. Through each stage of our life what we are able to do changes. That is why it is so important to enjoy what we are able to do not wasting a moment of it thinking about what you are not able to do. The same is true for enjoying what you have not waste what you have spending your time complaining about what you don't have. Today is the only day you can enjoy because yesterday is already gone and tomorrow may never come. Enjoy each stage while you are living it.
