My quote for today, everyday.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. Ralph Waldo Emerson

I see this quote on a band of silver that wraps my wrist. Some days as I read it, it whirls around inside my head like the leaves caught in a storm, and on others it just ever so briefly fills me with a little joy, a vision of hummingbirds on my summer perennials outside. Over the last four years since it was given to me I have thought many many times on why this quote is so profound in my eyes. At different times of course it affects me in different ways, but the thoughts that always are there are this: It seems so simple, and yet it is so easy to lose sight of it sometimes. It really doesn't matter what yesterday brought. It is gone and there is no going back, and we can neither predict nor change what is going to happen tomorrow. But these same points of history and future are what makes us who we are inside. What lies within us is brought on by the strength of how we handled the past, and by the visions we have for our future. Some days it may mean simply to just get through the day, and that’s ok! Some days it will mean taking those lessons of the past and using those as blocks of foundation to create a masterpiece. What lies within us.........................all the hopes and dreams for the future, all the love and history of the past. What lies within us is us. Beautiful women to be sure.

Tomorrow, as we celebrate the Vernal Equinox, I hope that every one of us near and far can take the time to put our "within us" thoughts to paper. What do we really really want with our lives.........and how can we use the power of "what lies within us" to make it happen. Near and far, under the full moon of March, the balance point of day and night, let us find our own balance. I wish you all a Happy Spring, filled with love, light and laughter. luvyaSu.
