Reflections


When I think of the word "reflection", there are a few things that come to mind. 

I think of the reflection of myself in the mirror, and what I see in that reflection.  Do I like what I see?  Do I need to make some changes?  Am I working toward liking, or loving myself more, every day?  I hope that when you look in the mirror, you see someone that you love, or that you are learning to love.  I hope you see someone that is beautiful, inside and out.

I also think of nature, and the reflections in the water.  I see them as a thing of beauty.  For every step you take, the reflection may change a little bit, but it is still beautiful.  Maybe we should tie these two concepts together in our thought process.  Every reflection is beautiful.  We are beautiful!

I also think about time for personal reflection.  Each of us should take time to reflect on ourselves; the person we used to be; the person that we currently are; and, the person that we are working on becoming.  We should reflect upon the paths that we have chosen, and if they are the right path for us.  We should reflect on how far we have come, and be proud of that.  It's not necessary to think about how far we still have to go.  You are on the right path, and you will get there!

We should also reflect on the fact that we are not alone.  We each have our own support systems - our families and our friends.

Look at your reflection in the mirror.  Look at the reflections in nature.  Mostly, take time to reflect about yourself, your journey and your path!

Today There's Sunshine In My Soul

I love sunshine!  I'm sure that most of us do.  It makes me feel happy and good inside!  With our weird winter/spring, many of us may not have seen much sunshine lately!  Dreary weather can dampen spirits and moods.  It doesn't have to be that way! It doesn't matter if it is sunny, or rainy.  It doesn't matter if it is hot or cold.  WE can be the sunshine in someone's day!  We can lift someone's spirits when they are down!  It doesn't take much effort to g ive someone a sincere compliment, or to give someone a helping hand.  You never know what someone is going through.  Simply give someone a smile!  It might just put them in a better mood, or take their sadness away.  We can be the difference in someone's day!   Help spread some sunshine around! Today there's sunshine in my soul!  Is there sunshine in yours?  **If you like this post, please feel free to share it, or to share the link to the blog!  It is with your help that I may r

What Lies Within Us

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."  - Ralph Waldo Emerson   I am a firm believer that most people do not realize how strong they are until they have a circumstance in which they have no choice but to be strong.  At that time, people do begin to recognize their strength. What characteristics and traits to you believe lie within you?  Are you strong?  Are you determined?  Are you persistent?  Are you detail-oriented?  Are you confident?   All of these things are characteristics that will allow you to succeed in any task that you wish to take on.  Once you begin working toward you goals, others will see these characteristics in you.  All of us have at least a little bit of these characteristics within us.  Maybe our self-esteem is a little bit lower than it should be.  Maybe we struggle to improve ourselves in these areas.  By setting goals and working toward them, we discover that we do have these charact

Celebrate Your Wins

Celebrations are so much fun!  There are not enough celebrations in our lives!  Only we can change this! We each have big goals that will take a while to accomplish.  What we need to think about, is that we accomplish smaller goals every day, that lead us to accomplishing our main goal.  Did you eat better today?  Did you drink more water?  Did you take more steps?  Did you weigh in, and the number on the scale go down?  Did you fit into a smaller size in clothes?  Did you feel good today?  Did you like the person that you saw in the mirror?  Were you proud of yourself today? Those are only a few examples of ways that we win each day!  Celebrate your wins!  Be proud!  Post them for others to see!  Congratulate others on their wins!  Celebrating these wins will make our goals seem attainable!  Celebrating with others has a positive impact, for them, but also, for yourself! Take time to celebrate every day!  Celebrate your wins!  Celebrate yourself! **If you like this post,
