Peaceful Moments

My Favorite Quote About Life

happiness is a journey, not a destination...
for a long time it seemed to me
that life was about to begin --real life,
but there was always some obstacle in the way,
something to be gotten through first,
some unfinished business,
time still to be served, a debt to be paid.
at last it dawned on me
that these obstacles were my life.
this perspective has helped me to see
there is no way to happiness.
happiness is the way.
so treasure every moment you have
and remember that time waits for no one.

Wow, I just realized it's been a while since I last posted. Life is funny that way -- we get way too busy. Where to begin?? I am still walking through the process of losing my mom last year -- the anniversary date was this month. I still miss her tremendously -- it seems to be the hardest when I am out and about driving home from different events -- I would always call her after a catering gig, or whatever was going on and tell her everything -- I know how she felt, as when my girls call me I am excited to hear what's happening in their lives and yes we talk very regularly too. But, I know I am not alone -- there are others who have lost their moms and survived the grief -- I too must move on.

I began a Pottery Class -- not ceramics but Pottery. Taking the clay and molding it into something is amazing. I still feel this must be how God feels in our lives as he molds us and shapes us -- we are a work in progress, just as my clay and wheel skills are a work in progress. I believe that everything and everyone leaves a mark on our lives -- whether negative or positive. As in my clay, it is the same I can put an unwelcome mark on it or a decorative one. I hope and pray that I am leaving only positive marks the the lives of the people I touch. Signing off for now. Blessings!
