MONDAY

M - Monday has come in with a myriad of clouds it seems;
O - Oh what a blessing though to see a ray of sun shining through!
N - Now comes the moment to get refocused -
D - Daring to take a moment to analyze and reenergize.
A - Ahhh - that is better;
Y - Yes, now the day looks so much better from this perspective.

That is the way my day seemed to begin; but taking a moment to refocus is what helps to turn ones life all around sometimes. So if it has to be take a moment to refocus - is that not better? Blessings, June

SATURDAY

S - Sometimes there are mountains in our lives that we do not see,
A - And sometimes we may see them and feel we could never climb them.
T - Today you may need a bit of encourgement;
U - Understanding and even a bit of enlightenment to begin the hike.
R - Rocks and ruts may be encountered yet there will also be
D - Daisies, grass and moss to add beauty on your way.
A - Allow yourself to experience the music around you and
Y - Yield your spirit as you climb to reach the summit of a new know or unknown dream.

Today as I sat with my artistic writings and pictures at the Farm this song was sung. I was thinking that in many respects this journey of creative works has been like climbing a mountain. Maybe you have a dream within you; maybe it is ability within you that is still hidden from you. Listen to your spirit as it calls from deep within; what is it calling you to do and share with the world. Listen to those around you; what are they encouraging you to do or try; what are they trying to help the Spirit bring forth from you to share with the world. You can do it; you can climb the mountain; I am climbing mine - one that I never saw for a long time and then one that I never thought I would climb. Blessings, June

FRIDAY

F - Funny how when one gets older there is greater appreciation for things of youth;
R - Rides that were work somehow can turn to pleasure.
I - In your world of memories
D - Do you now have a favorite feature that you tired of as a youth?
A - As you ponder and remember may
Y - Your spirit be renewed and blessed.

This is the very tractor I grew up driving for my father as young as four and five so that he and his friends could pick up hay bales. He would start it out slow; I sat carefully as I was short and steered it to go with the wagon between two rows of bales. I also cut all kinds of hay crops and cultivated corn for many hours on this tractor when older. A year and a half ago we as a family had it restored and I drove it in a centennial parade where our family all grew up including our parents in honor of our dad. It pulled the float for the business where my sister in law works. WE had a great time!!! Enjoy. june

THURSDAY

H - Hand another a kind compliment;
U - Unleash the love within your heart and share it all around.
R - Remember to say thank you for each gift given - even a smile;
S - Savor the twinkle of another's eye.
D - Do a random act of kindness;
A - And then take note of how good you feel; oh and one more thing -

Be blessed today as you are a blessing to others!!!!! June

This is Abigail who we call AzRon's dog. She is Rusty's sister (same parents just another litter). They are like siblings; he is older and sedate with her pesky antics but he loves to tattletail on her.

WEDNESDAY

W - Wallpaper can cover up many things good and bad but some still manage to make an
E - Entrance down the road by showing through.
D - Do you try to cover things up or allow them to really make a difference?
N - Now take a moment and pause -
E - Exactly what and why may be questions to explore to get a
S - Sense of how it is profitable for one's life or not.
D - Do not be discouraged but rather look at this as a new beginning;
A - And what better time than when one is focused on thankfulness.
Y - Yes, look around and be thankful and then allow the thankfulness to begin to permeate your entire attitude; you will be surprised at the change that 'thankful wallpaper' can bring not only to your life but others too!!!!

Be blessed. And you know in a sense my tumble six weeks ago with Abigail (above) caused me to sit and begin to make some changes in my wallpaper - and now I have shared much of it with many through my book being in print and the calendar is coming as well as other writings. June
