Use your imagination and dream big

Two days before Christmas. Haven’t bought a single gift.

But have thought about a million gifts that can’t be wrapped.

All tucked, invisibly, under the tree.

Who needs more things?

Grateful for the devil’s reminders

So thankful for the reminders that the devil places in front of us.

Seeing how others are struggling and how many feel victimized is the perfect reminder and encouragement.

It reminds us of our own struggles, and encourages us to keep fighting.

Take no prisoners when it comes to feeling victimized.

Patience is strength.

So is determination.

Love is at the center of the human experience. No matter our spiritual beliefs, love is the common denominator. The supreme unifying precept.

Hate has never solved a single problem.

There’s a common sense premise that says if we can put a face and a name to the person (or thing) at the center of our beliefs, it’s better than if we can’t (or won’t).

It’s impossible, that’s what people say.

We can argue that it’s possible or impossible to be happy all the time.

But there is no argument supporting any notion that we can not be grateful all the time.

Gratitude is different than happiness.

And there is no genuine happiness without gratitude.

Is there an echo in here?

Not running from something. Running to something.

Been running very, very intentionally and with great focus and discipline for six solid years.

Every dang day.

The beauty in this is that the emotional side of this decision is grand and noble and it was made from the best of places with the best of intentions.

This is not the typical.

And to be crystal clear, not typical is par for the course. Not for everyone, only for a few.

Do what you say you’re gonna do.

And don’t tell anyone until it’s done.
