Safer Together

"It is said, again and again, that the gazelle that is eaten is the one outside the herd or at the edge of the herd, not one in the middle of the herd."  - Bill W


One reason I like having a roommate is just knowing someone else who cares about the place, is there.  

My job keeps me around people and that's GOOD in my line of work

Yes, there are times that I appreciate solitude too.  Its keeping a safe balance that brings peace

Pause

Pause

I heard a phrase I really like. It came up during a conversation on being perfect. I know I'm far from perfect yet I strive to do my best.  When that fails, and it does fail I'll remind me of this

Pause the crazy; it doesn't have to be perfect 

Peace

Shootings, weather, safety and general angst seem to be "the order of the day."

Knowing that my happiness is defined by me, I try to find peace..Easier said than dine, I know

Embrace Differances

None of us share 100% compatibility. I find those different aspects, outlooks refreshing
Goodness knows I've tried to find friends just like me or mold others to meet MY lifestyle, etc


Have you ever tried to teach a fish how to fly? One of the characteristic of a fish is to swim, not to fly. And the fish is not interested to fly. So do not bother the fish and respect the fish as it is

Thanks to an unexpected friend, Maccoy Cervantes Moreno for today's idea

Responsibility

With experience comes responsibility

I messaged that to a co worker. We've both been given new challenges.  Why? Because the people we work for know our skills and abilities.   Micheal and I could have complained "darn more work" instead we looked at ways to make things work


So much in life is like that.  Ill see my goodness, skills, education and meet challenges head on

Will you, too?

Still New

On the dawn of a new/fresh calendar year it's often a time to resolve that we'll do something new

One common theme we've shared via this Affirming Message blog is "I can start new each day"

In keeping with that concept my New Years resolution is to tell myself

There is good in me and I will express it, share goodness with others

Dress Up, Show Up

Simple idea to keep spirit fresh,  thanks Christopher for inspiration

Dress up, show up, and be the best version of yourself you can be in any and all situations.
