I am going through a dark place now and am trying to find a way out so a bit of levity ….. besides it is Spring!
1. When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison.
2. To me, “drink responsibly” means don’t spill it
3. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight.
4. It’s the start of a brand new day, and I’m off like a herd of turtles.
5. The older I get, the earlier it gets late.
6. When I say, “The other day,” I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago.
7. I remember being able to get up without making sound effects.
8. I had my patience tested. I’m negative.
9. Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn’t fit any of your containers.
10. If you’re sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, “Did you bring the money?”
11. When you ask me what I am doing today, and I say “nothing,” it does not mean I am free. It means I am doing nothing.
12. I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever.
13. I run like the winded.
14. I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning and don’t know whose side I’m on.
15. When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and ask, “Why, what did you hear?”
16. When you do squats, are your knees supposed to sound like a goat chewing on an aluminum can stuffed with celery?
17. I don’t mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited.
18. When I ask for directions, please don’t use words like “east.”
19. Don’t bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head. That’ll freak you right out.
20. Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life out of nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops.
21. My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb.”—-source unknown.

Bishop Steven Charleston ~ “I have a blessing for you: may the things in your life work. After a very long experience I believe the best that can happen is for things to simply work as they are supposed to. The phone, the car, the plumbing, the house. Your eyesight, your hearing, your hands, your body. It would be great if things would just work as they are supposed to, so we can get back to what life felt like before they stopped working.”

Life disappoints you so you stop living from illusions and see reality.
Life destroys everything superfluous, until only the important remains
Life does not leave you in peace, so you stop fighting, and accept everything as it is?
Life takes what you have, until you stop complaining and learn gratitude
Life sends you troubled people so that you can heal and stop projecting what you have inside.
Life lets you fall again and again, until you decide to learn the lesson.
Life takes you out of the way and presents you with crossroads, until you stop wanting to control and learn to flow like a river.

Once again…..

Hey you…
Yes, I’m talking to you.
You know you’ve been telling yourself what you can’t do, how you’re too old for this and too tired for that.
Well, you’re wrong.
I know life has been bumpy and you’ve been knocked down, but lift your head, open your eyes and get up.
Don’t you dare give up on your dreams and everything you’ve wanted.
There’s so much life and love in you that you haven’t even realized yet…
So it’s time to stop making excuses and start making plans.
I’m not telling you that it’s going to be easy, fast or painless.
I’m telling you that you can do it and that it’s worth it.
Nothing worth having ever comes easily, and your dreams and desires aren’t any different.
You’ve known what you wanted and who you’ve wanted to be for a long time..
Now it’s time to get up, dust yourself off and start moving forward.
Stop looking over your shoulder and holding onto the painful past.
Remember the lessons but let go of the pain.
It’s not doing anything but weighing you down.
You are capable of more than you know, but you’re going to have to start believing in yourself- even if it’s a little bit at a time.
One step after another, day after day…you’ll get where you’re meant to be.
Maybe it won’t be where you thought you wanted to be, but you’ll realize it’s where you need to be. Forget your age!
Learn.
Love.
Live.
Grow.
Turn the page and start a new chapter.
You are worthy of great things, beautiful love and wonderful tomorrows.
Now open your eyes and start becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be.
You can’t catch your dreams if you’re standing still.
Fly, darling, fly.
You’ll soon find your wings..
And you’ll be glad you never gave up.
Anything is possible if you just believe.

I read a quote once: “The more you praise and celebrate your own life, the more in life there will be to celebrate”.
~Life in itself is a gift.
Start there … you were given life …
Celebrate the breath in your lungs
Praise the beauty your eyes can see
Enjoy the sound of beautiful music, nature and children’s laughter your ears can hear …
Put your hands on your heart and feel it beat and know, where there’s life there can be joy!
Some may feel their life doesn’t have much to rejoice about, and maybe on the surface it’s true.
And maybe you’re going through a very rough time and your very heart is broken …
Don’t let hardship kill the beauty residing in your soul. Allow yourself to be lifted up, higher day by day choosing to still rejoice the life within you …
Hang in there . I will if you will!
Best, Jay
