It is really sad that our culture puts so little value, pays lip service really, to these things. As for the pictures ... a little google searching is a good thing when you know what you want. So, I can't really take the credit for anything other than finding them and displaying them.Deus Ex Machinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425336387322313716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121288141677007319.post-23393650226128079432011-03-16T21:59:23.212-04:002011-03-16T21:59:23.212-04:00Beautiful picture, too, by the way!Beautiful picture, too, by the way!Julie Baumlisbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491044461309571172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121288141677007319.post-10186078445089571572011-03-16T21:58:14.909-04:002011-03-16T21:58:14.909-04:00Over the last year or so, I have learned that is t...Over the last year or so, I have learned that is turns out to be more productive to lead by example and by quietly pursuing one's path than to try to rope everyone along to see your point of view. I find that doing this in turn makes me look more closely at myself (because I'm not busy telling other people what to do ;) When I make judgements (as I still occasionally do, I trying hard not to, but they still slip out!) I am aware of it almost instantly, and try to rectify it as quickly as possible.<br /><br />I heard a new mantra yesterday, that I even put to use yesterday: "I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you" Four simple, but very powerful, statements. The quieter I become, the more I see and the more I hear, and the more I learn...which I can then pass along by example, hopefully. <br /><br />Life is full of challenges, hurdles, disappointments, roadblocks, but when approached with love, compassion, understanding and more love, it truly is joyful, no matter the circumstances.Julie Baumlisbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491044461309571172noreply@blogger.com
