words to ponder and other some other thoughts~

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”

santiz Patanjali quotes

in this great big world that we live in...to be apart and connected by a community...entwining us all by our own creations that are manifested...i remain continually in awe of the talents of so many...amazed by what so many create...insprired to produce...i love so much of what i have stumbled across...a delightful way to motivate one..to aspire to do...i am thankful for this blogging world...

i get overwhelmed...i have list that are everywhere...list of to do's...list of things needed...lists of things wanted...lists of what to bring...i guess i enjoy making lists...they help keep me grounded..and even though the remain in a state of dissarry...and could find them in any given place...they help keep me focused...they help inspire me with all i hope for or all i need to complete either for the day or the week or the year...

i have stumbled upon such wonderful blogs with inspirational ideas to create...to achieve...so here's what has been running through my head like a squirrel freed from his cage...

“Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be”

George Sheehan quotes

*her challenge has helped me to remain motivated not only for myself but also for my little ones to take a moment each day and bring back creativity....each day we have been spending time working towards and or accomplishing great and small bits of art!

she says:
Creativity is meant in the broadest sense, so it doesn't have to be something art related. Your creative acts could be in cooking, taking pictures, knitting, doodling, writing, dancing, decorating, singing, playing with your kids, brainstorming ideas, gardening, or making art in the form of collage, paint, or clay...or whatever!

*i once kept a journal of my dreams during my pregnancies...a way to savor all that came during those 9 months...this had been long forgotten except for moments i wake with a dream so vivd and real  it gets jotted down on a scrap piece of paper that then gets lost elsewhere...

she speaks...reminds and encourages us to keep a journal and explore our journeys...divulge more into our world of dreams....a path of discovery

*the art of letter writing...a lost art...a lost way of communicating...a forgtten way of bringing jot to the one who opens that beautifully written letter...words flowing throughout..this was something i prided myself on growing up, i love writing, i used to practice my handwriting everyday until i felt i mastered something exquisite, i loved in return going to the mailbox and recieving a letter or card, such joy it brought, i always sent thank you cards, birthday cards, get well cards, ecouragments...you name i always found a reason to write and to send and then cam eanother child and my excuse for lack of time quickly turned to a email or phone call and lately...i write occasional adn tehn it just sits longing to be mailed or wordse nothing...this is something i truly want to bring back and have it just be a natural way in my life...acknowledging others...

she invites us to correspond with her and too reminds us of the once simple beautiful way of communicating...of writing

“Only passions,

great passions can elevate the soul to great things.”

Denis Diderot quotes

unknown artist

there are all so many many other things and people who are inspiring me

but all have risen in my home

so now i am off

to make a breakfast with farm fresh GREEN PINK BROWN and WHITE eggs

take long hot shower

a tasty peppermint tea...

finish ones knitted scarf

work on ones LIME green blankie

begin a list of 101 things

and a letter bidding farewell to FEAR

pondered those things that need to be bought

find a delightful journal that will savor my dreams

write out january birthdays and just because letters and notes

savor all of today

this is a little of what my hands will do today
