The voices they’re all around us. They tell us we can’t do it. They tell us we’re foolish. They demand we listen to them if we know what is good for us. That’s why I wear earplugs. I won’t listen to naysayers. I won’t listen to people who are doom and gloom. I look for sunrises and rainbows. So what if I fail. It won’t be the first time and it won’t be the last. I’ll keep on trying. I’ll wave to the voices as I pass on by. Let’s live with hope. Let’s live with optimism. Let’s live with a vigor and vitality that refuses to quit.

Poem of the Day ~ My Heart Leaps Up
My Heart Leaps Up
William Wordsworth
My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

Think About It ~ We Become What We See
We become what we see. Two people looking at the same canvas come away with different perceptions. We make a personal decision on what we want to see. We make a personal decision on how we want to interpret what we see. We can see problems or we can see opportunities. Both problems and opportunities are painted on the canvas. The one who sees only problems cowers in a hidden place believing the world is a dangerous place. The one who sees opportunities embraces life and grabs hold of as many opportunities as he/she can hold. No fear. Seek opportunities. Always look for rainbows, they’re there.
Something to Think About
A cold front came through south Texas announced by thunderstorms bringing much needed rain. When it rains in south Texas, the rain is often torrential and heavy, pouring water on the ground in a brief time. One has to be careful of flash flooding from dry creek beds that quickly overflow and flood roadways. Life’s a lot like the Texas rains. We’re riding along on a high, then boom, torrential rains. We’re not alone when this happens. It happens to everyone. What do we do when the rains hit? Walk on through the rain. The storms will end. A rainbow will appear.
