Imagine a Blue Sky, Blissful Weekend

Oh my wow! It’s Friday, again! Already!

What did I do this week? What didn’t I get done? What miracles did I make? What wishes didn’t come? What went right? What went wrong? Who were those cranky people I had to calm down? Who were the ones who gave me such support?

Will I spend my weekend reliving my week over and over?

Is that what time is for. Is that what life is about?

No, no. Not my life.

When I’m in that last five minutes of my life and when I’m in the five minutes that come after, I want to be thinking of the time I spent being alive.

I want my life to be about living.

I can imagine a wonderful weekend. I can hang the moon in the daylight sky. I can fill the night with colorful lights and people who have great ideas. I can imagine being with friends who understand that living isn’t always easy, but it’s always about thinking and caring, and remembering to breathe.

I can imagine a blue sky, blissful weekend.

Then I can make it happen.

    I’ve found to live in the moment is great. At times I haven’t made the most of the present. When the blue sky is here, I enjoy it as I can see you are, Liz! Have a really fulfilling day!

    Happiest of Fridays!! When the sky isn’t blue, I get out my crayons and make it any color I like. :)

    Beautiful thoughts for a beautiful day. I’m beginning to learn (as our friend Jon says) to make my life about being and becoming and not jusst about doing.

    Hi Anna!
    It is a beautiful day!
    I’m learning the same thing you are — to be about becoming. Yep.

    Our friend, Jon, is a wise one. :)

    Hi Liz, I’ve been away for most of the summer, but I’m back and catching up on your blog. We are going geo-caching this weekend…:) FUN! Anywho, I went to your amazon store and OH MY GOSH! I feel we could be like best-of-friends. I’ve been putting together the list of books that changed my life, many are in your store.
