"Easy"

Hello folks - the picture above is one of those things that I have been working on in my time after I jump out of my car from my commute. I am going to really work on taking more pictures and sharing more. It's has to be said that my thoughts and actions don't always translate into action. I am working on this...it's cost me a lot on the past- Memories, interesting relationships, and opportunites (I am sure)~ Yesterday while reading a new british magazine at the coffee shop I read an article about worry and how counterproductive it is. I have been really getting pretty good about being verbal, letting things and issues go and moving on. I am sitting here listening to internet radio and taking a short break. I just put a chai banana bread in the oven. The funny thing is that I have found that I have spent a lot of time obsessing and thinking of things that really are important but dont deserve or NEED obsessing about. By not obsessing about weight I managed to lose about 4 lbs last week. Eating sensible, moving more and drinking water ( making an effort for sure on the last item). The flowers are in my front lower flower bed. There are 2 one is elevated and one is ground level. The upper level is filled with coral petunias and they are pretty. My front sitting area has some fire engine red chairs that are making life easy and enjoyable as I watch the cars go by. The flowers are spreading, filling in blooming and moving forward. I am love how I put them down and God just does soo much work for my enjoyment. The front is now a good coffee and paper reading place, I have tested it out! God knows how to speak to me and tell me to slow down, speed this up and turn here. Working feverishly on not missing on bit of HIS directive... Tommorrow is Memorial Day. I have a lot of military men in my family. A LOT - some retired some have moved to the other side of life.. but they served. I've not forgotten what this day represents....and I hope while you eat, drink and rest you remember as well. And don't forget to smell your flowers too!
