Take.....Take Time

Take 
                 Take your time.  Take a deep breath.  When you've done an outstanding job, stand up and take a bow.  Take yourself seriously and others will, too.  When things get hot and heavy, take a chill pill.  Take others at their word--and take them to task if they don't follow through.  Take charge when the situation demands it:  when you're asked, or when no one else will, or when it's obvious that you're the woman to take the reins.  Take the bull by the horns and wrestle him to the ground with your bare hands.  Always take a moment before you speak.  Take a moment to compose yourself.  Take another breath.  Loosen up and take a chance.  Close your eyes and take a leap of faith.  Stop taxiing the runway already, and take off!

My Ramblings.................The above Quote of a Different Nature is from a book 365 Words of Well-Being for Women by Rachel Snyder that I purchased in 1997.  I've decided to use some of her words for well-being in my blog instead of just a quote.  I believe that there is a something for each woman in Snyder's writings.  Enjoy.

Take time to leave a comment as to what you found interesting in the "take message."


Thanks for dropping by with your coffee or tea to sit awhile on the porch while we wait for the sun to appear..............come again.

Women of Spirit - Bonnie

My spirit at 51 years old is abounding with energy, enthusiasm, a limitless capacity for joy and love of a grand baby, a successful example to myself and other women of the heights one can raise to when realizing finally that there are no limitations.

When I was a younger woman, I was often in the depths of despair, angry, overburdened, felt under appreciated, unloved, jealous.

How wonderful it is to be so carefree of so many of those feelings that came from worrying how someone else felt about me, or saw me.  I am free.

My colours are earthy, forestry, rich, smooth, soft brown and many other greens.
The feel is as soft as moss and as freshly fallen leaves with brown spots that no longer seem unattractive.  There are some hard spots but mostly soft, gentle, mushy mossy green radiating in sunlight.

Quote of the Day.............

Here we are again...a new work week begins....too fast for my liking I must say! So, will you forgive my rush in sharing a little bit of spring while still amid winter's chill...it's just too pretty not to....

 

 

Quote of the day....................

               God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change

               The courage to change the things I can

               And the wisdom to know the difference.

                                                         --Reinhold Niebuhr

 

The reason I'm using this quote, which can be termed a prayer, is that I watched Oprah's Master piece with Paula Deen and she mentioned that this quote/prayer changed her life.  This Serenity Prayer has popped into my space so many times the last week that I wondering what I'm supposed to learn.  Has that every happened to you..........the same message hits around you many times?

Peace be with you this week as you travel along.

 

Thanks for stopping by with your glass of wine.......and sitting on my porch for a few minutes to catch a moment of serenity.                Marlene

 

 

 

 

The Seasons

The Seasons.............the Circle of Life..................

each season is another step to the next one teaching me something about life or myself or how to live my life.

The seasons invite me to honor the earth and my journey........time to rest, time to germinate, time to grow & bloom, time to let go and time to rest, time...............

What is your favourite season?

What season are you in at this moment on your journey?

Are you tired of winter and waiting for spring?

Thanks for stopping by to share the seasons with me...........come again, bring your tea and stay awhile.
