And you are feeling down
Because it feels like nothing has gone right,
That whatever could go wrong has gone wrong.
Be still.
Look up,
Let go….
And breathe,
Take a breath,
Take two,
Let go….
Accept the things you cannot change (you don’t have to like it)
Just accept,
Be humble,
Be thankful,
For each breath
For the ability to see (even to bitch and mourn and complain)
For the right now,
For this moment of stillness.
Take the time to …
Enjoy it
To take in the kaleidoscope of colors above you (yes, even the gray)
The array of clouds,
The marvel of…
The sunlight,
The moonlight,
The starlight
All greeting you unprejudicely
No judgments
No condemnation
Just peace ….
Just Acceptance
Breathe
Take it all in
Capture the jewelled moment
And know
You are more that a bad moment
You are more than the sum total of bad moments
You are blessed,
in spite of all that has happened
you are, a blessing
And let it all be a reminder that….
Even on the worst days
The dark days,
The murky days,
The turbulent days,
Beauty can be found,
And it surrounds.

DeleteApt. I love it. We tend to take things for granted and wallow in our downtimes too much
ReplyDeleteYes we do, it is one of the great human flaws......
DeleteSo very true . Beauty is around us and within us we just often need to change our perspective in order to see it. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes, at times we are so saturated in our sorrows we don't see beyond the walls of it to beauty that speaks of hope and possibilities.

Your blog has this serenity about it, maybe it's the design. I like it! Nature is truly beautiful! I miss watching the sunset and the stars. I used to do that as a kid with my grandpa. Life happens so fast. Uniquely different with Fredilia
ReplyDeleteThank you....
DeleteIts not to late to begin again, for me, it always puts things in order, when you look up, and pay attention you realize you are part of a whole and you are connecting on some level with all. Imagine no matter where you are in the world when you look up we are seeing the same things albeit from a different position.
It takes a grateful heart to be still and appreciate everything that makes us what we are. Humility is a virtue that we should all crave
ReplyDeleteIt so does and yes Humility is a quality we should cultivate.
DeleteThe suns total of bad moment ,In spite of all that has happened!
ReplyDeleteEven on the words days the dark days,But Beauty can be found And if surroinds,
Do I wrong writing of yours too? Acccept not alright my idea....
We has raining all the time I has been NO Good with my idea of golf !
There is beauty in every moment, even the bad ones. Whether or not we see it depends on where we are within ourselves.
DeleteEvery word is true Rhapsody , do we spend too much time wollowing in those bad times maybe we do. Just look around and you will see something to Love and breath a sigh of thank fullness.

Yes at times we are too good at wallowing and lamenting instead of balancing it out with gratitude and grace.
DeleteI like the photographs. I find the pictures of the sky and clouds interesting. Will be looking forward to more of such wonderful photographs.
ReplyDeleteBlessings Ellen, its been a while, lovely to read from you.
DeleteCheck out the right side bar under PHOTO ALBUMS you will see lots of my photos there.
Your photos are beautiful and your words are true. It is sometimes hard to remember them though when you become mired in the sadness.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteYes remembering is a challenge and as human beings we will falter ever so often, the key though is getting back up and honoring ourselves and others.
Such a nice array of sky shots and a great message as well.
ReplyDeleteWelcome and thank you Ida.
