Realms of Light

It is important for each of us
to periodically take an overview
of our life.
Too often we get caught up in
the minutia of day-to-day living
and lose ourselves in the process.
This microscopic view of one's life,
limits us and our ability to learn
and grow, and to see the bigger picture.
By carefully looking at our past
and our present experiences,
we acquire valuable insights into
who we truly are.  We also gain in
understanding of the world around us.
If used wisely, this knowledge enables
us to live more meaningful lives
~ ones with purpose, direction,
luminosity and joy.

Yep, the minutia can swallow you -- then you're trapped in an itty-bitty world.  Need a wide-screen

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Your light-heartedness looks
very wise tonight, Linda...
