Fill Your Day With Stars!

Even the Humblest Star Still Shines
Just a few words, a reminder, that we’re all meant to be brilliant.
Our human universe was meant to have stars that shine in the daytime, to shine with the smiles of the people We only have to give them a reason to show you the way they twinkle brilliantly. We all know how to — people and stars are made of the same stuff.

Hi Liz, this is a very wonderful thought since today is my birthday. I’m going to keep in in mind as I go out to begin shoveling about 8″ of snow. I’ve always thought of the snow as diamonds, and it’s just a matter of how you look at it!
Thanks, and may your day shine as you do!
I’m smiling!

Heh-heh.
Read your “6 quickest ways” post and loved the reminder that the stars are always there just shining away, even when obscured by daylight. Or by the chatter of my mind, or by that irritating way someone chews or by the thought that I can’t ask him that, can I? Or by the belief I hold about: (current, most active prejudice goes here). The shiny-ness is always there, whether not not I can see it. So, when someone seems to lack the shiny, I can know it’s there.
What would it be like to live from that knowing?

Hi robyn!
Sorry I wasn’t around to wish you a “Happy Birthday” myself. I’m sure glad this was. Isn’t it just like you to find the wish inside what I left.
You are a star.

Hi Liz!
It’s lovely watching you shine! I think you already know the answer to your question.
ME Liz Strauss said
Hi Rick!
You might be a humble star yourself, but I still see you shining. Your light has been my light so many times in the past.

Welcome back. Liz! Missed you last night on the road, though Chris did an excellent job.
I’m having so much fun finding my way into the question. You’re an important part of that for me.
“twinkle, twinkle…”

Hi Liz!
Thanks for the encouragement. I was wiped when I got home last night. Still am in many ways. Hope to be back with a fierceness tomorrow.
Shining back atcha!

The big events always take their toll on me too, even as I love them. Too much stimulation at once for the introvert brain, I think. Like a snake swallowing a pig – I’ve got to sit still and digest for a bit.
Take it easy.

Heya!
I like swimming in the fodder . . . don’t want the interrruptions.
Rick Cockrum said
I like that.
ME Liz Strauss said
Yeah, me too!
