Diary of the journey on the path least traveled..just letting the heart do the talking while the fingers do the walking while being different, being me… π
Note; AI is not used here on the path under any circumstances!.. π
To hope and peace…
Hello Diary,
Still dealing with life's challenges and storms here..have a brief break in the weather to allow me to get online to share my thoughts while dealing with changes and challenges on the internet, with websites, etc. , mainly dealing with security.. What worked yesterday, may not work today, what worked today, may not work tomorrow.. Fortunately I can write/edit offline… π
I do pop in and visit folks between storms when I can, I like to see their thoughts, memories, adventures, sometimes get helpful ideas… I do read the entire post before clicking on "Like" but with the issues at hand, sometimes I am unable to have time to comment as I wish to visit as many friends as I can with time available.. Hopefully in time will be able to visit more and share thoughts…."Life gives us brief moments with another, but sometimes in those brief moments we get memories that last a lifetime, So live that your memories will be part of your happiness." (Author Unknown)... π
Sometimes "When one suddenly finds oneself in a swamp up to one's armpits in alligators, it is difficult to remember the objective was to drain the swamp", but I do not raise the white flag, so in spite of life's storms, adjust the sails some in order to follow my dreams, at the same time doing so in a manner that will hopefully not have a negative impact on others while they are following their dream.. π
"I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship." (Louisa May Alcott)… π
Another example of overcoming life's challenges, storms and changes while trying not to overly impact climate and environment , this weekend my daughter Kim, and friends, participated in a marathon type hiking event (which she finished while dealing with challenges, storms, heat, humidity, rain, etc.,) … π
MammothMarch; distance: 20 miles in 8 hours (Kim did it in a little over 6 hours), there is no timekeeping. There are no failures. We only recognize the incredible courage it takes to rise to our challenge and while caring deeply about our planet's future, by creating low- to zero-waste events, we want to give back to nature. That's why we're planting one tree for every registered hiker to support reforestation projects in the US!... π
So, here on the path, in spite of life's challenges, we follow Ms. Boucher and The Seekers advice and keep a dream in our pocket… π
Time flies, and memories fade.
People change and new friendships are made.
Only the true remain forever at our side.
Eventually the disappointment and pain will subside.
It is all about the journey and what has yet to come.
Life is what you make of it; you are what you've become.
Life is too short to hold onto regrets.
Forgiveness is key even though you may never forget.
Cherish the good and remove the bad.
Some people don't realize till it's gone what they've had.
Moving on is a way of life.
There will always be obstacles, pain, and strife.
You must believe that you are strong enough to fight.
You have to believe in yourself to do what is right.
Always do for YOU no matter what you do,
Because in the end the only one who has your back is you.
Never be afraid to take a stand,
And always be willing to lend a helping hand.
A little bit goes a long way.
All it takes is a smile to brighten someone's day.
Your chance to live is now, so what are you waiting for?
The world is yours for the taking and so much more.
Endless possibilities are forever at your disposal.
The chance to live another day is life's golden proposal.
Never let anyone tear you down,
And never let anyone steal your shine and make you frown.
So will you sit in the shadows and let darkness win again?
Or will you rise up and make the light your friend?
(Hollianne Boucher)
Well, there are more storms possible on the horizon in the coming days, so will close for now to prepare for them, perhaps visit with friends and in some manner help make this world a better place for everyone, remember "Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird, that cannot fly." (Langston Hughes ).. But I shall return one day, Fate be willin' and the creeks don't rise.. π
Hope your path is paved with peace, love and happiness, life is all that you wish for it to be and until we meet again… π
Not just another day, my friends
For in spite of time, distance or whatever,
If only in spirit and thought
We'll be sharing this day together.
So, have a wonderful day, my friends
Wishing you all the best, nothing less,
May today, every day, AND your heart
Be filled…...with love and happiness.
(Larry "Dutch" Woller)
