Denise's Thoughts

The Greatest Gift of All....is the love you can give to yourself. I was thinking back on my life and how free spirited I was as a teenager. Of course you do not have all the responsibilities that a parent has to raise children...that is if you have children...then you may have a house with a mortgage or at least rent to pay. So what happens to the joy of living after a while? Do you become bogged down with the day to day issues of house cleaning, bills to pay, yards to keep up, garbage to take out, people at work to deal with, health, family, friends, relationships, and it goes on and on. What do you stop to do to appreciate even one second of your life? Do you do anything at all for yourself? Every day on the news there is something that comes at you to make you stop and think about what is going to happen to your world. Are you depending on the voices of others to tell you what is happening in the world or are you using your own gifts of observataion to clue in to what is happening t...

Everyone knows that weekend has the feeling of being off and doing whatever you want to do. It is the reason so many people work and glorify the days off....it is a thought that most people carry with them thru out their lives...but there are those who work weekends, holidays, nights etc and around the clock. This is a short blog to just remember those who work all the time. Paramedics, doctors, nurses, police officers, firefighters and others who are there to serve you all the time...this is just a short note to remind you that the next time you are out to dinner on the weekend...who is working to serve you. When you are on the road and stop for a cup of coffee who is there in the store. ...when you are going food shopping who is there to serve you....lets not forget the farmers who work all the time to feed us and of course those of us who are parents our job is never done....take the time to give a big smile and a thought of appreciation to all those who are there for us everyday....

Today I was thinking about how it is my world. That means to me that whatever I want to deal with on a day to day level really depends on what I want out or in my life. I was thinking about relationships in general. What is it that makes me upset? What is it that makes me happy? What is it that I want in my life. Thinking about these things made me realize...again....that it is what I allow to come into my world affects my life. I do not have control over anything but my thoughts. That is the same for you as it is for me. At times I really do forget that with a capitol "F!" My thoughts guide my moods at times...I imagine they do that for everyone. When I am happy there is nothing that gets in my way. When I am angry everything seems to be in the way..Isn't that life in general. I was discussing with a friend about a certain incident in my life. It's not important what it is right now but, what is important is how my friend wanted me to become aware that standing up f...

I was thinking last night about my life. Some of the stories of my life are really just snapshots of what I remembered as a child. Funny how life shapes you. One story that I want to share is one of those moments when you realize that telling your parents what you really are experiencing may not be the wisest move of all. Here goes....I remember very vividly as a child waking up every morning so I would be able to view the morning star. I would wait until the sun rose so I would the first one to say good morning to the world around me. It was a long time ago and I think back that probably I did not grow up with many material things. My parents as I look back must have struggled to raise both me and my brother. So I relied on my imagination to keep me occupied. This however was not my imagination. For many mornings on end I remember be visited by a man who wore a long robe and a hood. He was no threat to me. When you are a child you know things by sensing. How many of you remember not l...

Hello everyone...I am going to be sharing topics that affect each and everyone of us on a daily basis. My life is just like yours. I experience the same joys and sorrows that you do. All of us are mere reflections of each other. I may not be you but, I can guess that at some point what I write will be similar to what you have experienced. I am not writing to do anything else other than inform and possible give a new perspective on your life and experience. I have a boatload of stories. Some will be funny. Some will be sad. Some may even make you say'WOW." In any case I hope that you will enjoy this site.
