Thoughts for a new day

Thoughts for a new day. From September 2, 2208

As I sit and listen to the winds, so much has changed for us. New locations, new faces, new challenges ensue and it seems sometimes like breathing is impossible. I was not named Slow Turtle for no reason. I am slow, I take things slow, feel things slow....ok at my own pace. :) My world has been Topsy-turvey for a while now everyday seems to want to force me back into my shell.
Where are the moments of growth? Do we see them like the giant heads of the sunflower turning towards the heavens, or do they slowly come forth like the dawn breaking through the clouds? Maybe day to day activity ushers forth these steps, showing us simply how we have grown. The fall colors will be here soon, the air will hold the chill to our faces. Do we change like the leaves? Is change that visible? I think that sometimes it is, but inner growth can be harder for us to see even if we are looking at it in the face. It does not mean we have not taken a step forward but actions generally aid in that step, putting into practice our change.
"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams." Ashley Smith
May you all have a good week. As fall knocks silently now on our doors, never forget to give thanks for all we have. Tell your loved ones daily how much they mean to you. Don't forget to dance!
In respect...
