Laying awake tonight thinking deep thoughts like how to be a better person...
this year has been challenging in many ways it often felt like an out of body experience,however with that said the last say 6month's have been beautiful this immense sense of inner peace ...
C'est la vie , life is the best teacher , life's as great as you make it and all that jazz
so when my loved ones ask me what is my new year wish well it's to be slow to criticize and quick to appreciate, to forgive myself more ,love harder ,share more beautiful moments over great food delicious drinks in great company because after all memories last forever... oh and to take more pictures.
I'm sure with time the wish list will grow and it will go from my lips to Gods ears <3
the following poem is one that starts all these deep thoughts ....
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
