Glorious Journey

"Where am I going on this glorious journey?" ~ Rumi

September is here and I have reflected a wee bit on my journey this summer. Here are a few lessons I learned:

1. Gathering gratitude is an awesome exercise that brings blessings.
2. Staying with the emotion and not moving into action is sometimes a good thing.
3. Looking through a camera lens slows me down and focuses me on beauty.
4. Pay attention to your inner song--do not lose the music of joy within you.
5. Family and good friends are treasures that can weave in and out of your life but should not be taken for granted. Renew friendships whenever possible.
6. Life is a glorious journey that is revealed only a step at a time. Don't try to run down the path before the moment comes.
7. Life is short and precious. Be aware as much as you can of the blessings in front of you.
8. The bridge can be shared but once in awhile when hurrying to get across you might step on someone else's foot. However, they have a right to be there too. Forgive them.
9. Eat well, sleep late, breathe in beauty, share deeply, hug often, walk in nature, travel to a new place, lazily float down a stream, and break out of the routine that binds you most of the year. You will not regret it.
10. Be open to newness--whether in the form of a relationship, an idea, or a place. Your mind and heart may expand that way.

Peace,

Suzanne
