I M Perfect lady


Their Turn!

Many people in the UP are waking up and are disappointed, for their minds were wrong, again.  If you feel completely distraught due to the bright white ground and decorated trees, it is because you think it should be different.

You think it should be green.

You think there should be blue skies and flowers…

When instead you see white…and grey and brown mud puddles leaking through the snow…you will be crushed.

This is how the mind gets ahead of reality and plans it out and then is so disappointed when reality doesn't match what it thought.

How hard will it be to give up what your mind thought and enjoy THIS day as it is.

To accept what is as it is.

Will you put on mud boats and go and get your winter jacket and gloves; grateful that you have the correct clothing?  Or will you lament about the Spring stuff you can't wear today?

Will you sulk at home and do nothing, cause the weather is poor?

Or, will you use this day inside to do inside stuff?  Will you play with wild colors to offset the monochrome day?  Will you add color or sparkle to your outfit to brighten up the day?

This is my was my Morning View….breath taking in its perfection for today.  My mind isn't fighting it.

I know better.  

Reality wins only 100% of the time…says, Byron Katie.

    Guess I will dig out my mud boots today and play with color inside! Also, a good day to make homemade chicken soup! Thanks Beth. Hope your mail deliveries go smoothly. Joanie

    When I woke today, I saw a sea of white. It is gorgeous against the dark blue of the lake which only recently gave up her ice blanket. Yes, our perceptions make or break any situation.
    Since we need the moisture to help with fire danger, that is yet another reason to be pleased with the white blanket.
    I will be taking my Mom to the dentist this afternoon and I am grateful their building has a car port so I can get her through the front door without a mishap!

    Yep, once we accept reality, life gets so much easier. And, when we learn to appreciate instead of wishing or believing something SHOULD be different.
    Good job ladies!
