Pages: Your Book of Life

How true. Each day that passes by, is a page in the book of life. Everyone that crosses your path has something to add to your vast life experience. You never know what the day will bring when you wake up. Who can tell what's going to be added to or deleted from your To Do list. Surely you have dreams to pursue, disappointments to deal with, don't forget the triumphs and happiness, relationships, hobbies, passions, pet peeves. The list goes on. Where to start? From the very depths of your being. What filled your day? It is not the story about a lifetime that gets crammed, edited, chopped up to suit your public. Far from it. You have inspiring moments to share, battles you fought and won. Or how you stumbled and bravely got back on your feet. How you learned to trust your intuition, the benefits, add to this how you stay healthy in mind, body and spirit. The daily pages from your own book of life is your own, unique and personal, yet, can be shared with the universe.The life as you write it, as it unfolds each day, each waking hour, your dreams the visit you in your sleep. If you let it. Were your problems manageable? Did you give yourself time to take care of you? Isn't Mother Nature inspiring, relaxing and instills tranquility and serenity to your tired body and mind. Share some of the experiences from the pages of of your life. Surprise yourself. Life is poetry. Life is a song. Each day is a new day, new experiences, fresh hopes and fresh outlook. On a sunny day, your enthusiasm for life is fueled by the brightness. On a dull morning, take time to reflect, to contemplate and look forward to the next sunny day. There are moments when the rhythm of life is enchanting. these are moments when Life flows like a poem.
