Life

This is a picture of Macy's string trio.....just before their performance for the judges last week.
She loves playing the cello:)
I hope you enjoy the poem below......good thing everyone doesn't play the same note....life would be oh so boring.
Namaste,
Michele

The world didn't begin with a big bang,
But with a silence which was replaced by the symphony of life.
Each of us had the right to choose the instrument
By which we create our music.
and serve to maintain the harmony.
We may all play different instruments
and make different sounds,
Some of which hurt our ears,
But when we are all playing the same tune,
In spite of our differences,
We are in harmony.
And, that tune is the song of songs.
called LIFE.

growing past limitations and irritations

All of nature offers lessons on living, free of charge. One morning I noticed a dead tree supporting many living things--fungus, vines, lichen--which taught me that even after death we can continue
to support those who live on. Living trees on our property teach
other lessons. One tree has grown around a barbed wire fence. Another has grown around a nail, and a third through a chain link fence. These trees teach me how to accept irritation, absorb
the pain and grow around problems. Nature teaches me how
to find my place, grow toward the sunlight and bypass obstacles.
To survive, we must be able to change in response to whatever is required by the challenge of the moment. Our bodies know this,
but our minds often rebel when change is necessary.

choose life!

As one woman told me, "When I decided to come in to work happy, everybody
around me became happy." This woman had decided to quit a job she hated,
and on the last day of her two weeks' notice, she woke up happy. At the end
of the day, she noticed that everybody around her was happy, too--
so she didn't quit after all. She decided to come to work happy instead.
Two years later, she's still on the job, radiating happiness and love.
