tweet, whistle, and stretch


leave it to me to start reflecting on resolutions and goals for 2010 til today....ha ha...actually the last year or so, there hasn't been much 'reso-luting' (sounds good to me :) going on. with little ones, and a couple of bouts with some mild-to-mid level depression, i've had to 'let go' a few times and enjoy the reality of just 'being' and doing the best i can, with what i've got, right where i'm at.....sans huge aspirations and big ol' goals...it's all good
truth be told, i've got some stuff bubbling around in my head, but i'm gonna give myself the next few days to scribble and scrabble them on paper....i was just dog-ass tired today.
it's funny how Life works sometimes....i think of a number of books i stumbled upon over the last several weeks as well as some stuff i came upon over the last week while doing some major 'post-Christmas' clean out....(i'm talking like 3 trips to the goodwill and major full trash and recycle bins)
while i may post some hopes and goals for the upcoming year in a bit, this quote i used for a little bit of doodling struck me today:
"If you could be as a Lily before God, for at least one hour in the 24, it would do you good: I mean, if you could cease to will and to think, and be only. Consider the Lily is as really from God as you are, and is a figure of something in Him, the like of which should also be in you. You long to grow, but the Lily grows without longing; yes, without even thinking or willing, grows and is beautiful both to God and man." -John Pulsford
