Warmth Of A Sunrise

“There's a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them.” ― Jo Walton

Regardless of the time of year, each morning the sun come up.

Regardless of the previous day, the sun continues to rise each day on your world.

Each day when you rise do you move to brighten another persons day?

The sun rising on a cold winter's morning, it warms if ever so slightly that which it touches.

As you rise on a new morning, try to warm the heart of those you touch in your day.

If you do, you will feel the warmth in return.

Stay inspired my friends.

Small Movement and Large Impact

“In a gentle way, you can shake the world.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

There are many different ways it can be said. Poems of eloquent oration speak from the heart of its meaning. The written word from scriptures bear centuries old beliefs in its powerful truth. Many a performer has sung its praises and quotes from the wise speak to reinforce it.

What I speak of is, "the peace that you give, will be given unto you."

It is an old belief that when you give of yourself to others, when you make things better for them, you will receive much more in return. Very simplistic some would say. Simple can be very powerful in the bigger picture of life.

As you go through life, the big things are clear most times. They are well defined with a lot of well documented results. Yet it is the small things in life when added together outweigh all of the big things.

Your impact upon others in little increments ultimately add up into a large impact.

Think of small bad things in life, the ones you fail to act upon. Little things slowly collecting until they create a huge collapse. You have seen it happen to others and you have seen it occur in your own life.

Well the opposite can happen in positive moments and touches upon the lives of others. The small things add up over time into large ones. You serve in goodness to those around you, being a positive force upon others.

Change is gradual but watch as it grows.

In time you will see your life change for the better. Others will begin to act in a positive way upon your own life. Yes, the peace you bring to others will be brought upon you.

All you need to do is be the one to create a small movement.

Pair Of Pants

#FridayFavorite from November of 2007.

“The enemy is within the gates; it is with our own luxury, our own folly, our own criminality that we have to contend.” ― Marcus Tullius Cicero

The story of a couple who were sued for $65 million dollars over a pair of pants shows just what can happen. A man brought in two pair of pants for alteration. One pair were completed on time and the other not quite ready.

When the customer came back, he claimed they were not his.

Additionally, the customer wanted more than $1000 for the cost of a brand-new suit and the couple said no. The alteration was only $10.50...but the lawsuit was on.


The owners of the store won out in court through support of donations for lawyer fees which dragged on for more than two years. Yet the business was sold as the strain both financially and mentally wore them down.

A couple is put out of business, our society moves on.

All we can say is that issues get "overlawyered". It is life throwing stuff at us which we just would not expect. My hope is that the Chungs will recover both financially and personally. An enduring positive belief in themselves and in the goodness of others will pull them to better times.

When you find yourself in a tough spot, remember you're not alone.

There are others who are suffering just as much if not more. You will get through the situation and move on. Just have faith and belief in yourself and in others just as the Chungs encountered.

A Sky So Blue

A sky so blue
Arc of the earths horizon
Sun sets west
Ahead of the fading blue
New day will dawn
Once again a sky so blue

- Joseph Primm -

It comes along when you least expect it. A life changing event, an unexpected circumstance, or a path not intended enters into your world.

Each of us will face these moments in time.

It will feel as though your entire world has come unglued. The path you were walking on was well marked and you had a clear vision of where you were headed. Then all of a sudden you find your self in unknown territory. The path looks completely different and frantically you try to find where on the map you are standing.

You look around and question your changing life. All you can see is the setting sun and a fading sky. You feel unprepared for the change and the pressing weight can seem unfair, a burden you didn't ask for.

Yet life is simply going on around and to you.

There is an old adage which says "the sun will rise again" and it does not mean life goes on without you. It is meant to say your life will go on and you will get to see another blue sky. All of the possibility which existed before still exists now. New opportunities have also been placed in front of you to discover.

So take this change and energize yourself with a new attitude today and each coming day. Walk your new path with the excitement you have always had. Shake off the fear and discover it remains a sky so blue.
