Well, another full and busy week has come and gone.
It looks like summer is officially over. Leaves are turning, combines are humming, kids are in full swing, back at school.
Although it is always sad to see the days get shorter, it's equally as exciting to see what the the next season will bring.
Many people close to me are beginning new seasons. Changes in career, moving, heading back school to further their secondary educations, having more babies....................
It's going to be an incredible time.
Sometimes, it's pretty easy to get caught up in the tragedies of the world. There never seems to be a shortage of reports depicting just how awful we, as human beings, can be to each other.
I firmly believe we need to stay informed about the society we are building, but I guess I just wish the good that I see first hand, on a daily basis, received a little more camera time. I realize these types of stories likely won't bring the ratings to news shows that horror driven ones do, but they would be nice to hear.
We aren't all terrorists, or war mongers who love to prey on the vulnerability of others. We aren't all politicians, vying for attention, desperate for votes. We aren't all drug lords or gang bangers, or corrupt business moguls.
No.
Mostly, we are just people, People walking all corners of this earth, trying to live our lives, pay our bills, keep a roof over our heads, creating memories and moments that count with those that matter most to us. We are people. Changing jobs, moving, furthering education, having babies.........
If you are shown only shadows, it becomes easier to believe the light is disappearing.
It's not..... I see it every day in the eyes of my grandbabies. I see it in kind actions of total strangers. I see it in the smile of the bus driver and the gentle hand of a parent. I see it in the kind, encouraging words of a teacher. I see it......everywhere.
Yes, the shadows are there and we need to remain aware, but they are only shadows. Taking up negative space. Shadows only grow if we dim the light. Don't dim your light. The world needs all it can get.
As for the past few days?
Well, it was, thankfully, another busy one at the shop.........
Received the final information about the "Word On The Street" Festival which takes place next Sunday..............
Taught some new and completely useless, silly things to some grandbabies..................
Assaulted the laundry monster......he's not quite gone.....but he's on the ropes............
Aggravated a couple of dust bunnies.........................
Spent a day hanging out with my sister and brother-in-law, and had a great time...........
As for the upcoming week?..........
You guessed it, another busy one at the shop...........
Work,.....work......and work some more............
So we can try and take off a bit early on Friday to attend our niece's wedding! Yay!
Sunday will be spent at the Word On The Street Festival in Saskatoon!
Blog will likely have to be posted a bit early, next time around, I'll keep you posted.........
For now, it's time to say good night.........................
Until next time I'll leave you with this wish.................
May you follow your heart to it's fullest desire, ever reaching for the stars.
May your dreams come to fruition, without robbing joy or leaving scars.
May your dreams and your heart's desire be deeply known to you as one in the same.
May you see that they can differ, one feeding the soul, the other, the ego, which lays claim?
May you, as you enter this new season, leave behind no regrets, as do-overs don't exist.
May it bring nothing but good things, happiness and peace, leaving no "I should haves" on your bucket list.
