Find the Magic

Pictures inspire me to write, especially if there is a path or stairs.

Where is life taking us?

What can we find when we move ahead, face the challenge,

go where the end is not known?

Do we risk the travel?

Do we move forward or freeze in the path?

I have been thinking alot lately about being in my mid-70's.

I am thankful for good health and still an active, vibrant woman.

Sometimes I feel weary of the walk, but I know I can rest for awhile.

And other times I feel just bursting with energy

and face the world with gusto. 

Each day I try to face the magic of the day.

I love the surprises.

I love the discoveries.

I embrace the sadness along the way,

but always open my eyes to what is around me,

searching for the magic and savoring it too.

What do you see in this picture?

Notice what you notice.

Is it the dirt path?

Did you notice the brick in the path

or the leaves of a rhubarb plant?

It looks like up ahead there is another path,

did you see it?

When I let my light shine

I sometimes feel it will overpower me.

Some try to dampen the light,

but I have learned we cannot please everyone.

We are all different

and the most JOY comes from the light.

So notice what you notice,

let your light shine,

and embrace each day with magic.

Trust the Adventure!
