Messages from the Moon.

Good Morning Earth. As I sit here this morning enjoying my first cup of coffee. Hmmm. I just wanted to wish everyone a peaceful restful Sunday. As today is a day of rest for some, I just wanted to pass these thoughts along. Do just that rest. Clear your day and do nothing if possible. If you can't sit still, take a walk and enjoy nature. Turn on a silly movie and watch that. Breathe. Forget your troubles for just one day, laugh out loud with your family, share good times. Yes we all have good times tucked away, bring those forth. The time you learned how to ride a bike, or learned how to swim. Read a great book, kissed your first girl, or boy, the joy of your grandchildren. You have those in your memories. Or just sit and do nothing. So as this is my day of rest as well, I'm signing off and enjoying doing nothing. Moonbeam.

Messages from the Moon: The Past, and Present.

Often wonder why some people only dwell on the past? You cannot change the past. It is gone. If you only remember the past and if it has regrets you will never move to your future. Dwelling in the past hurts only make you bitter. Sweet memories need a place in your head and heart, but those only need to come out when necessary. The birth of your first born, sweet memory, a beautiful sunset shared with a loved one, sweet memory. But your past is past, and your future is here. Grab onto that and make new memories to tuck away. The sunshine glinting through the trees, nice, new fallen snow pristine on the landscape. Sweet memories. A new born foal, and scampering kittens, nice memories. First love, your parents kissing, and your children playing, sweet memories. Tuck these away for a rainy day. The past is past, no regrets, you can't change the past, but you can change your future. Write a book, you always wanted to. Explore, you always wanted to. Change your outlook, you always wanted to. Move forward, and enjoy, sure you may do things that you wish you hadn't in the future times, but that's okay as well. You at least moved on and changed. Not everyday will be a memory maker, not every action will be right or wrong. But you took action to change what you can, but you must remember the past is past, and can't be changed. And as people come and go in your life take one small part of them into your memories and tuck it away for that rainy day to remember what they brought to your life. No regrets.

Messages from the Moon. Lemons or Lemonade.

Do you ever notice how some people are always upbeat and so happy you just feel like slapping them? Well it's all about people who can take their lemons and turn it into a nice cool glass of lemonade. I find that I would rather do this then dwell on the lemons which are sour. And I am sure there are people who certainly feel like slapping me when I am so cheerful at 5 o'clock in the morning and they are still dragging their feet. It is not what I have to do, it is what I choose to do. Each day is an opportunity to make not only yourself happy but maybe just one other person. It really doesn't take much. A kind word to a child who is struggling with a math problem, such as we can do this together. Your best friend who is having a bad day, tell them we can face this together. A stranger who needs ten more cents at the grocery store, tell them here you go, have a good day. It's the small things that you do to help others that can make all the difference in your day as well. Everyday I deal with all sorts of people, young, middle aged, and the old. They are just people who have needs, just like me. They don't always realize that some days all they want is someone to care enough to be kind to them. You can take someone's worse day and just by being, kind and smiling you can give them even a small bit of hope. Sure you may not solve their problems but just the fact that you were kind can make a difference. So today as you go about business, think of how you want to view the world, you can see nothing but lemons, or you can have a tall cool glass of lemonade. Maybe today is a good day to read the comics, and leave the rest of the news in the trash. It starts with me and you, kindness.

Messages from the Moon. Hmmm.

Ever have one of those days you just Hmmm, to everything. Now I am not saying today was my day. I had a fabulous day. The sun was shining so brightly on the Earth, and the clouds were spectacular from my vantage point on the Moon. No it does seem as though you well have those days, when everyone around you will be so baffling you are just dumbstruck. The things that they may say or do. These are the days when you just need to take a deep breath and walk away. Matter of fact if at all possible run, run like the wind. Some people have no clue that they are annoying. Well maybe they do and this is their life's work to be miserable and make others feel the same way. Now I have an opinion about this, as always. I don't let most of those people bother me, you know why I have better things to do, and so do you. So Like I said when the crazies are intent on taking over RUN. No don't run to the nearest bar, sounds like a good idea, but no it really doesn't work. Just step back and look over the landscape of things and make a choice to be calm. This is your life and you do not have to let unpleasant things run your life. Yes there will be things that are unpleasant that you will have to deal with, but you DO NOT have to let them dictate how you want to live. Simple right, No not really. This takes work and practice. I have gotten to the point I can now shut off the world, and have not a thought go through my head. This takes practice and the will to shut out the negative world around you, and this can bring you back to a place where you have control and can find the happiness you so much deserve. Everyone deserves to be happy. Yes I am happy, I have control over my life most all of the time. I do not live in a perfect world, but I am making it my own, and if something goes wrong, I just take a deep breath and move it along. I have swept many a problem into the wind, and let it go. I fixed what I could and decided that the rest were not worth my time. Don't make mountains out of molehills, it's just not worth it. Moonbeam.

Messages from the Moon. Or Life

Everyday life can hand you challenges. Some of those are not so pleasant, others mediocre, and then there are those that raise us up and make us shout, yay. The not so pleasant make us want to hire a hit man to take care of the situation. Yes I have had those days. Most of the time now my life contains things that make me shout woo ray. I go about life for the most part pretty darn happy. They have drugs for that you know. Joking, but seriously I tend to view things a little differently now than I use to. Sort of like the glass half empty, half full theory. My glass is more than half full and I view this as very good. But when you have those half empty days... Don't struggle with them, set them aside if possible and drink from the half full glass. Rejoice in the life of the past even if it may not have been so good, rejoice in the life past that was wonderful. Move along and think about what you can do to make things a little bit better. One baby step at a time they say, and sometimes those steps get bigger with each positive thing that you make happen. I have found that if even one moment looks like it may turn on me, I flip it around and send it marching. I have to, I have a lot to live for, each day is a gift, each new person I meet is also a gift. They may never pass me again in my life, but just maybe they left an impression on me. So today as I go about in this world, I hope that someone passes by and impacts my life in a positive way. If not may I raise up to the challenge and positively impact someone else's life. Besides who can afford to hire a hit man. Moonbeam.

Messages from the Moon. Just Me.

As I sit here today and contemplate my life, well I have a very fine life. I am not rich, I am not beautiful, nor am I thin. I am average looking, a bit chunky, but like what I see in the mirror. I have wrinkles, and grays hairs, each of which I have earned. But yet I am rich, and think that I do have a kind heart for the most part. I am rich in family and friends. People who I would trust completely. I have too many cats, all of which are part of my family, I have a sibling whom at times I think is a bit weird. But I care about him. I have children who are sometimes a bit much to take, but they are my children. I have daughter in laws, and grandchildren. I also have a resident dog, whom well she is here. I live a hectic life at times, but that is okay. Sometimes I take things in stride, and other times I have way to many opinions, but that's okay as well. That is who I am. I work hard, and don't play enough. But would like to slow down a bit. I want to go on adventures, and see things I have only saw in pictures, someday. I want a maid, but well that probably won't happen either, maybe some kindly elves will just clean house for me while I'm at work. My Grandson certainly won't do it. I would like a chef to do my cooking, but I guess I just have to cook myself. That is if I want to eat. I certainly would like to have less stuff. Makes me wonder why I have so much stuff, I don't use most of it. But I'm happy, and every so often I just sort through the stuff and get rid of it. So I guess what I am saying is things happen, life goes on and I make the best of everyday. I hear the laundry calling me.

Messages from the Moon. A journey not taken.

Everyone has a path to travel. Sometimes it is not the chosen one. Sometimes you fight that path. At times you win. What if you don't? Do you just take it in stride and just walk around aimlessly? These are questions you must ask yourself. Am I happy just being mediocre, or do I want more. The logical choice is more. Living life in harmony with the earth around you. Doing what's right, making a choice to be well in body and soul. Do you push the limits or just sit back and let life ebb and flow around you, not taking any chances? Those who do nothing may be truly happy, I'm not so sure they are. Do you put on a happy face just to please others. Makes me wonder why. For some moving forward causes great anxiety. for others the excitement is to be great to be contained, causing others around you to catch your enthusiasm. It's like children at play, the happy shouts of joy, laughter, smiles so bright. Like a drug catching you up, and taking you to a happy place. So do you just accept a certain path, never justifying that it may or may not be the right one. Or do you get on the highest Ferris wheel and look out over the landscape, reaching out for all of the possibilities of a new path to take you on the JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME. Reach out, and LIVE.

Messages from the Moon.

Hello from the Moon. So I am sure you are wondering what this is all about.Well I will tell you. Sometimes I have these random thoughts that just need to be put out there, and what better way than to tell you. No, I know that my random thoughts don't always make sense, but hey I don't care. Maybe they will make sense to some people. What really matters in life is that you take time to really enjoy your life. Some days may not be what you want them to be, and other days it slaps you in the face, and other days everything just falls into place. I just wake up each day and rejoice in the fact I have one more day. For this I am grateful. I can go out into the world and maybe make one person's life a little brighter. Small little things, like a smile or a kind word, whatever it takes. So this morning wake up and be grateful for that one small thing, anything that makes your life worthwhile. It could be just the fact that the sun is shining or your cat didn't throw up on the carpet. Make each day count for yourself or someone else. So as I sit here on the Moon, enjoying another day, may you find laughter in your soul, and joy in your heart.
