Garden Party

I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends

A chance to share old memories and play our songs again

When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name

No one recognized me, I didn’t look the same

 

But it’s all right now, I learned my lesson well

You see, ya can’t please everyone, so ya got to please yourself – Ricky Nelson

 

You can’t please everyone and you can’t change them either.  You’ve got to please yourself, but in pleasing yourself you need to be mindful of your responsibilities to your family, friends, coworkers, nature, and the environment. Pleasing yourself is not permission for selfishness, but is a state of mind for how to live, not seeking approval for your life choices.  We’re on different paths, we have different abilities, but we can get to the same place from these different paths if we choose to. It doesn’t matter which way we get there, or even where we go. It does matter however, who we are, on that journey.

We are in our hearts who we really are. So when you go to that Garden Party, be kind to yourself, be kind to others, just go an be yourself.

Just a thought…

LOVE, Goldi

 

Make Love, Where There is None

To make love… where there was none…  ♥ Alchemy (Lyric) – Above and Beyond
To bring about change for love, growth, health, self improvement or whatever…we all want a little bit of magic or that special chemical reaction that instantly gives us what we want. Believing that you can have it is the magic, but you have to take action.  Belief without action is really just wishful thinking.
You see people that have what you want, but before they had it – they didn’t.
If you want more Love in your life, then love another, and love all people.  If you want health and fitness, then start eating whole grains, vegetable, and start exercising.  It’s not really rocket science, we all start out beginners, so just start!  Start whatever it is that you want to change.  Just make the first move – take that first step towards whatever direction that you want. Your belief will enable you to keep taking those steps. So, no matter how small it is, just take it, then take another and another.  Eventually you’ll get the change you want.
Just a thought…
Love, Goldi

Enjoying the Moments

Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present. – Albert Camus

 

How easy is it to take for granted some of life’s most simple pleasures.  Focusing our attention on our list of things that need to be done.  Sometimes we’re so focused on what we feel we need to do, we forget to look up to see, the opportunity for a conversation with our child, an unexpected lunch with our spouse, or the chance to visit with a friend.

What will be most important to us in the future, will be to have the people we love, to be around us.  Money, fame, and the like will be nothing, if you have no one to share it with.

Lets find a way to enjoy all moments, finding joy in what we do.  This is life, this is our life, let’s choose to live it well.

Busy enjoying the moments…

Love, Goldi
