"Because when you stop & look around, this life is pretty amazing."

Life is amazing. Stop and smell the roses once in a while. Take the time to drink it in... enjoy your life. Ferris Said it best...

" We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

Don't get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life. I like to say that I work to live. Meaning that even though I work hard at what I do, I always remember that I work so that I can have a life.

If you look at the pictures I post the bottom of each blog you will see a quick snap shot into my life. Sometimes its a picture of me at work, but most often its a picture of me with a loved one, or of some fun thing we were doing. I like to joke with my friends that I run a small consulting business to pay for motor cycle parts. But its more then that... I put money away so I can take more then just 2 weeks a year to explore the world. I want my life to be full of small moments that expand my world and help me learn. I want to make my life full of experiences and pass on what I learn to my kids. I hope you have just a bit of the wander lust that fuels me. We will all learn so much more and love so much deeper if we take the time to live our lives, and not just watch them happen.

So go out an live life. Get your hands dirty, get your feet wet... "Knock on the Sky and listen to the sound. " ~Kevin Flinn, Tron: Legacy

"Sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn't mean to take." ~Anglea N. Blount

Its funny where life leads you some times. Call it fate, or a plan form a higher power, or just plane luck. What ever it is, take joy in the detours you encounter. Some of them will become your most cherished memories.

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

~ J.R.R Tolken, The Fellowship of the Ring

"When you start seeing your worth, you'll find it harder to stay around those who don't."

I love, love, LOVE this note! Its such a great reminder for all of us to believe in our selves.

How many times have you stayed around people who do not appreciate you? Just stood there an let some one treat you like less then you are worth? Essentially casting your pearls before swine. To many times I am sure. We all have. We convince our selves it is OK, or that what they said didn't really hurt. Or even worse that we deserved how we were treated. Its like a vicious cycle that we repeat with worse and worse results. And little by little we self destruct. Please stop.... please don't let that happen.

When you take the time to love your self, you are breaking that cycle. You are giving your self value from the one and only source that matters... You. Its not easy., oh no. Its tough stuff to love your self... but aren't you worth it? You know you are. Nothing is so bad that you cannot forgive your self. Unless your that guy who picks on little kids... then you may have to put in some extra effort and knock that crap off first. But you can still get better.

Seriously though, take a moment to like your self. Just start there and build on that action. Give your self a hug and get stronger. And before you know it, you will be on your way to removing the poison from your life. You can do it, I know because I have had to do it myself.

You got this, and remember I believe in you!
