Living Passionately

I have collected “sayings,” words, or statements for over 20 years that had a meaning to me & were something I wanted to remember.  In 1999 I was gifted a book that said “The Glass is Half Empty” on one side and the other says “The glass is Half Full.”

You can start journaling on either side, but I chose the half-full side & began filling up the pages with quotes & positive affirmations.  I’m up to several books now & I’m still collecting.

I date the pages when I’ve found something I want to keep & many times, when I need a mental boost, I will flip back thru my writings & find that perfect set of words to re-jumpstart my positive energy flow.  

Tomorrow is promised to no one has been a reminder of the friends & family I’ve lost over the past year & that time does pass too quickly.  I used to wish for the weekdays to speed up so the weekend would arrive quicker, but now I am happy for a day to slow down because it gives me more time to accomplish, & just be.

I use good china & eat too much cake & even though there is still time, it is running out to get it all done.
