A Magic Way of Going

I have had a poem/verse, written by Maurice T. O'Callaghan, pinned up on my board at work for about three years now.

It's a photocopy of a handout from one of Mr. O'Callaghan's speaking engagements - I don't even remember attending one of his seminars so it may have been given to me by someone.  As I put my coat on before heading home last week, one of the lines caught my eye and I thought, "Now these are life lessons that I want my children to learn."

I wanted to share it with you lovelies today!

A MAGIC WAY OF GOING

1.  Be generous in your praise and support of others.


2.  Forgiveness is freedom.  Put your hate, anger and revenge in
 the garbage can where they belong.


3.  Learn to think creatively.  Solutions live in your imagination.


4.  See life positively.  Every problem is an opportunity for those with eyes to see.


5.  There is no growth without pain.  Birds always sing after the rain.


6.  Be grateful for your gifts, your country and for those you love.


7.  Value the magic in each other.


8.  Learn to laugh at life and at yourself.  Most of what you worry about
will still be here long after you are gone.



9  Find time to do the things you love.  Develop a wish list and start checking it off.  
This moment is all you have.


10.  Be considerate, caring and honest in everything you say and do.  
Your epitaph is being written today.

Uninspired.


I have a problem.

I have deadlines looming and no mojo.

Maybe it's the time of year.  With the holiday looming, Connor's birthday, a lot of traveling for me lately...

Don't get me wrong.  I LOVE my life.  I love what I do.  And it's certainly a pet peeve of mine when you ask someone how they are and all they can do is complain about how busy they are.

I catch myself doing it sometimes and I have to stop and remind myself that EVERYONE has busy lives.  I'm no exception.

So no complaints on my end.  I just need to prioritize and set up a schedule.  It's so easy to get sucked into non-productive activities when you don't have a plan.

Off to create a plan.

And then hopefully more creating will follow.  Keep your fingers crossed for me!
