Over......

My Thought for this Day......is late because I overslept this morning. So this has me thinking about the word over. Overtired, overwrought, overweight, over the top, overdrawn, overcast, overboard. We have a lot of 'overs' in our lives. Get over your overs!!!!!!! Right now, the Brannan Farm seems to have a lot of overs. But we choose to stay positive because in the end, the overs will get you nowhere. So, tuck your overs under your hat, covers, selves. The sun will come out tomorrow! I promise.

Pie.....

My Thought for this Day..........So today we are going to make a pie chart. You can mentally do it, or even better, physically do it with paper and pens. I want you to chart who or what means the most to you. Then in diminishing order finish the chart. I have no clue what you will think or write. But this is what I do know. The biggest part of your pie chart holds the most power over you. And if YOU are nowhere on your chart, you have lost yourself. And this couldn't be more sad.

Repeat........

This is Monday....and I seem to be lacking thoughts. So........I'm borrowing a past Blog when I used to do a Word do the Day.........Word of the Day.....BUT.....what a seemingly little unimportant word....with a huge impact. I'm sorry I did that BUT........I guess I was a little late BUT.........Maybe I was wrong BUT........I apologize BUT. But is a word of negation....it wipes out all you have just said. It makes excuses, it covers up, it hazes apologies and meanings, it screams insincerity. Be careful. When you have the need to explain, say you're sorry, take responsibility.....DO IT! Then STOP!!! Offer no Buts. Live your life without the need to cover up. We all make mistakes.....let's shoulder them without trying to make ourselves look better with needless, useless, unapologetic BUTS.

Promises.....

My Thought for this Day......What promises have you not kept? To yourself? To others? Do you know? Do you dwell or ignore? Do you plan on keeping them, or were they made on a whim? I'm not really sure which are more important......those unkept promises to yourself or to others. I think I will leave it at that.

100%....

My Thought for this Day........If you are always 100% for someone else, you have nothing left to give yourself. And this diminishes you, weakens you, demoralizes you, and in the end, you lose the person you should be. Taking care of you IS taking care of others. It is not selfish; it is not one dimensional. It is cherishing and respecting that which has been freely given.....your miracle......your life.

Bubble........

My Thought for this Day......Sometimes I envision us all in bubbles. Spheres of iridescent lights that float on waves of human emotion. Our bubbles are filled with the whims of the universe, or truthfully, they are filled with what at this moment, in this exact time period carries each and every one of us to our destinies. Here's the depth, the gut, the atmosphere of out bubbles.......our ability to simply float. And with this floating comes either resentment, strength, sadness, usefulness, ignorance or self knowledge of 'oh the places we will go'. So, to only keep your eyes on other's bubbles,...to envy, covet, grasp that which is not ours, is to miss the wonderful prisms of life that is your bubble. Think about this....and think deeply....you can't have or possess someone's else's bubble. You only have yours. So the key, the lesson, the life, is to float within your sphere, knowing that whatever it is, it is truly meant for you. And in that knowledge, in those sparkling prisms of life, you find your core. What more could you ask for...for indeed, if you don't know yourself, your journey hasn't even begun.

Stones....

My Thought for the Day......Are you disappointed in someone? Maybe their words or actions have not suited you or hurt you in some way......deeply and rawly. In the midst of your pain is it hard to see anything but the sharp edges that have softly sliced or perhaps left jagged edges in your emotions, your feelings, your soul? If this is true, then you are like every other person you know. We've all been disappointed by friends, family, loved ones. But know this to be true.... as you stew and smolder in your hurt....you have also disappointed. You have also cut to the bone. You have also brought tears and fears and sorrow to another living being. So my point? Don't try to dodge the bullet for that is an act of cowardice. Boil if you must, resent if you must, blame if you must. But while doing all of the casting stones, don't forget to acknowledge those that are being hurled at you. And most importantly, realize no one......but One.....has ever walked this earth blameless.
