Wecome to the pick-me-up!
October 19, 2007–the day I’ve finally decided to post a weblog of thoughts and ideas that I hope may be useful, relevant, and interesting to you! It’s a bright and sunny day where I live, and many of the leaves on the trees have turned to brilliant golds; when I look at them up against the clear blue sky, I feel my breath leave me in awe and wonder. They’re a nice reminder of the beauty that we have to enjoy in this world, even if we are faced day after day with a barrage of media influence that so often focuses on the bad and the harmful.
I don’t believe that life is the negative experience that our media people tend to paint it as. In fact, I see life in a very positive way–as a wonderful gift that we make of as we will while we’re here. If I wish to focus on the negative and depressing elements of the world, guess how I start to feel? And if I wish to immerse myself in situations full of negative and depressing people, well–guess what again? We’ve been given the gift of life to make of as we will, and one of the most difficult things for me to watch constantly is how people make decisions and take actions that will keep them down, that will keep them from ever reaching their highest potential in life.
My goal with this weblog is to offer beauty, peace, hope, love, to all who choose to visit. I still don’t know of what the site will consist, for I want to keep this a dynamic page that doesn’t have a strict plan behind it. I may be feeling very different about life and living six months from now, and I hope that if I am, I’ll be able to continue to post positive and uplifting material here. I thank you for your visit here, and I hope that you’ll be back!
