Go In Peace

Interesting and Blessed are the best descriptions for the year we say goodbye to. The year included heartache, happiness, love lost and found. New lessons always to be learned as life continues to be full of surprises and dissapointments.                           

It has been a good year with life changes for the better. Funny not so funny how life challenges us constantly to keep ourselves together and strive constantly to improve ourselves in the slightest to the grandest way possible. 

To grow in peace with simple approaches to complicated things. I am happier when I take life one peaceful thought at a time, one moment and one day at a time. I am happy to realize it is better for me to not take things personally as people have their own internal challenges to deal with and navigate through life. Peace be with you now and into the future. ☮

My Old Friend

🖋 Bruno de La Roza is like an old friend brought about by the need to publicize my point of view. What the world feels like from my vantage point. Since joining facebook the blog posts have been less frequent. It no doubt stems from the satisfaction I get from a quick comment about a current event or experience, perhaps share a photograph or other image intended to offer a positive jolt, challenge or simply enjoy the image of a full moon or such. 

Coming back to post something here and in MarkIpiotis.com as well as MedicineSky.com, is like getting together with an old friend. The type of long standing freind that you can pick-up with where you left off days, weeks, months or years ago.

It is familiar at the same time new things to be discovered. This platform is a sign of the 21st century and part of the information highway. The social media connection is real and ripe for those who want to connect from a distance right to own space and place. Blogging is a fun vehicle to take out and drive, go for a cruise, put in a few miles/words to keep the squeaky wheels greased and in good running condition. 

From my heart and head to yours. 💛

Pick Up The Peices

Being an upright, contributing member of society is nice and expected of me and you. Keeping it all together however, can be a little tricky and not always as easy as we'd like. The day-in, day-out grind of life gnaws, nags, twists and shouts ugly profanities in our face. It's interesting, how ups seem bigger after each obstacle is overcome and the down's drill deeper into the abyss of my angst. The choice is mine to decide which trajectory I choose and prefer and have the guts to handle, faster than lighting or painfully slow, lingering into nothing.   
                                           

We blaze through life on automatic pilot expecting everything to go according to plans, if you've made them. We get tripped-up by unforeseen challenges and all hell breaks loose until we get a hold of ourselves. How long the hysteria lasts depends upon the profundity of the "challenge(s)" and also, the position we take on the matter. Perception can snap-us right out of the throws of despair or leave us wallowing in the murky contaminated waters of fear, anger, impatience and stress.

It can take some doing to resolve the brain war but it can be done swiftly with concentrated focus and intention. To recalibrate thinking to a peaceful place where we are able to pick up the pieces, is to be ready to take on the next thing that might threaten our safety, peace of mind, heart and soul. ♥
