Good Morning Peeps
The sun has risen and the temp here in Nashville is a comfortable one! Not a bad way to start off an early Saturday morning. In fact, it's another opportunity to open the windows and let the fresh morning air inside of my Haven while enjoying my first cup of Hazelnut coffee.
This morning I was thinking about something. Since I am pretty much home bound for healing for the next few weeks. I realized how much of a challenge it is to write in the morning. When my Life was constantly busy with activities such as work, my music, playing out and interacting with others....I always had something that was inspiring my morning thoughts. Recently my inspiration is basically centralized within my Haven and myself. Let me put it this way.... I have a lot of spare time on my hands to think about a lot of things. The inspiration is limited to my thoughts and feelings of what's happening inside my personal world. Funny..... as I am typing this....I'm laughing to myself thinking, isn't that what I normally do everyday anyway! The only difference is I am more focused on what happens in my Haven and with my healing process, cause and effects or even outside my window with the Bird Sanctuary!
So, I guess it's just a different perspective in my mind and a continuous challenge of finding my own Silver Linings! Believe it or not is even more of need for me as of late. When your trapped inside four walls for days on end, the mind can play tricks on your emotions. Even if I am in my Safe Haven, there is only so much one can take for so long.
I lhave learned to be find my creative outlet to change things up everyday, I take daily strolls through the Tennis Court, I spend time sitting outside watching the birds and many other activities I can do while laying still to heal. I played my guitar the other day and played one of my new songs I was working on before I went into the Hospital and it felt great, but I knew that it is to soon to play afterwards. That's ok....I will try again soon until it naturally kicks in.
I am just grateful to have so many wonderful Peeps in my Life who have consistently checked in to see how I was doing and also came by to help assist me with things I may need, and even brought me food! All I can say is that I am blessed beyond words to have each person in my Life! Believe you me, i count my blessings everyday! Which is.....by the way one of my Powerful tools I use as Silver Linings daily.
Oh, yes....I seek out every little Silver Lining I find to help lift my spirits on days where it's up to me to find my way out of a rough place in my head! Because I know that Life is wonderful, it's beautiful, and there is so much out there waiting for me to explore wants I get back on my feet. That what I am going through right now is normal, but completely challenging at times and could take me under if I let it! But, of course that is not an option in my mind, my heart and in my soul! God has been good to me and has gotten me through a major experience with the massive cyst that could have been cancerous but was not, and has given me even more time to get out there and live my Life. I'm so glad because there is so much more for me to do......
What is it? I don't have a clue, but I know I will find out when the opportunity arrives and crosses my path. All I know I need to keep going forward and finding the things in Life that motivate me to be the best person I can be, and also to try to be a positive light and example that no matter how tough the road gets, there is always a Silver Lining to be found and Life is full of wonders and waiting for us to Live it with open eyes and an open heart!
Peeps have an awesome Saturday and I know many are beginning their Fourth of July Celebrations today....please remember to be safe while out on the roads and dealing with Fireworks! Most importantly....... Enjoy and have a blast! Until next time..... I will catch you on the flipside!
