JUST BE.....

Most of you know how I feel about my mom and daddy...they are such a huge part of my life, they both are angels on earth, a role model, an inspiration, loving and sincere.  I have rather a hectic week and a busy weekend.  My mom texts me this afternoon and tells me to "be sure to slow down and smell the roses".   I am taking her advise to heart, I may not have roses in my yard to smell, but I have plenty of other flowers (love my honey suckle and jasmine).  The reason I bring up my parents, is because when you are on the inside looking out, most of the time, it looks different than being on the outside looking in.  It is so important to have someone who can lovingly  point out and help us put our feet on solid ground, someone who encourages us to keep doing the next right thing, someone who loves us unconditionally and will always be there, someone who lets us be ourselves, no judging, no hesitation, just wanting the best in all aspects for us. 

 

RELAX AND JUST BE......

 

I want to relax and let myself just be... different people have different ways of being and expressing themselves.  When I take a look around at others or even at myself, its interesting to see how we each express ourselves and "just be".  anywhere from loud colors and fancy clothing to more buttoned-down and conservative, athletic and sporty, funny and artistic, down-to-earth and practical, out-going or more keep to yourself, (as for me, I'm trying to be more out-going, to put myself out there without the fear of being hurt and someone walking away, trying to trust and realize some people cant keep a promise, and they just say what you want to hear, or do what benefits them for the moment).

 

I have shared with others and always seem to talk about my love of music, the lyrics, the beat, and how it touches my soul. I talk about my flowers how good they are for my soul, the ocean, how it just brings me closer to God, and puts peace in my soul.  I have learned and experienced that "a soulful" person is comfortable in their own skin, I'm not there yet, not sure if I will ever be completely comfortable in my own skin, but I will never give up, and I know it's progress, not perfection.  My goal is to relax with who I am, a unique person who is loved by God, who created me.  I hope to find inspiration and creative joy in being myself. 

 

I read this saying today and it inspired me to write this blog...it said.... "Why not be oneself?  That is the whole secret of a successful and best life." continued with "if one is a labador retriever, why try to look like a shitzu?"    

 

All of this, Because of His Amazing Grace...
