I believe in the sun when it's not shining,

I believe in love even when I feel it not,

I believe in God even when he is silent.

IRISH QUOTE

Where do you wish to go?

There is no doubt about it, I have been wishing for this all my life...

Ireland

This is a wish, that is so far out of reach.

 Yet, my heart longs to believe... this day will come true. 

source

I have thought about it countless times.

What my eyes would gaze upon... to see God's Green Glory?!

source

What would be my first thoughts...?

How would I feel, deep down in my soul. 

What roads will I travel... my heart longs to see.

source

One day...

the door will open to my wish.

One day...

I will visit Ireland.

"Trust yourself.

Create the kind of self that you will be happy

to live with all your life.

Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny,

inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement."

What do you wish to jump into?

** Myself **

Why not...  jump into myself!

Take the time I need, to really focus on what is important to myself.

Why not...

Invest in me, and start doing what really makes me happy.

Not sometimes... always.

To make it a daily habit, apart of me, my life.

Today, tomorrow... always!

source

Jump into...

what already exists within myself, and make something of it. 

Bring it out, make it alive again!

To stop worrying about...
 trying to fix everything, everybody, 

and 

stop making sure everyone else is happy... 
but myself.

source

Time to rejoice in...

Life.

Love.

Myself.

"A desire arises in the mind.

It is satisfied immediately another comes. 

In the interval which separates two desires

a perfect calm reigns in the mind.

It is at this moment freed from all thought, love or hate.

Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves." 

~SIVANANANDA

What to you wish to experience? 
"still waters run deep."

source

A real sense of calm.
I lack the strong, deep tranquility of being calm. 
Not only to project being at peace on the outside...
but to really "feel" at peace on the inside!
***

source

Letting go. 

Release it, set it free... rid myself from tension!

Placing myself in a state of grace, to celebrate and embrace...

new beginnings while not losing sight of tradition.

Doubt yourself and you doubt everything you see.

Judge yourself and you see judges everywhere.

But if you listen to the sound of your own voice,

you can rise above doubt and judgement.

You can see forever.

NANCY LOPEZ

source

What do you wish to rise above?

Doubt

I do not need to be reminded of my limitations.

My body reminds me each and everyday!

The definition of chronic I have full knowledge of...

The meaning of illness I alone, battle with...

Pain, I have taken on, a new respect for.

***

I live with a chronic illness, a battle, which I take on.

One day at a time, I tell myself.
Slow it down, if I need to.
Love and respect myself, knowing I am still me.
 Never losing sight... 
 who I am and what I am capable of.
This illness is what I have, not who I am!

source

I do not need doubt interfering with my life.
 A subtle hint from others, explaining to me... 

I am not capable of certain things anymore.
If I wish to step beyond my own boundaries, so be it.
***
Take a hundred of those disbeliefs,
to the one belief I have for myself...  it out weighs a ton!

source

How about you...

Liturgy is like a strong tree 

whose beauty is derived 

from the continuous renewal of its leaves,

but whose strength comes from the old trunk,

with solid roots in the ground.

POPE PAUL VI

source

What do you wish would spring into your life?

A time of growth and renewal. 

***

To spend more time renewing my faith.

It is my personal responsibility to keep my soul nourished.

There is no one or something to blame, but myself... 

if I do not take the time to replenish my soul.

When faith comes knocking... time to open the door!

source

Allow time to reflect... heal and rejoice.

Welcome in growth by renewing the old, 

with acceptance for what I can not change...

and build on what I know I can. 

My belief system...

It is our behavior, our true self that takes action...

stepping forward to our calling.

(we each have our own)

It is there to give direction, a guide.

A guide to 

build it up... built it strong... build it to last.

Time to spring my faith, my soul, my beliefs into action!

ENJOY LIFE. 

DONT WISH AWAY YOUR DAYS, 

WAITING FOR BETTER ONES AHEAD."

MARJORIE HINCKLEY

What I Wish For My Future ?

Stop sweating the " small stuff ".

Life and the world around us... has a way of moving forward.

Regardless, of the worries I create for myself...

In the end, we are all countable for our own happiness.

(This is my own personal belief.) 

Time to start doing "more" living.

Smile, laugh, love,  take a deep breathe and listen more.

source

Stress less, from less.

Be happy and content.

Live a passionate life. 
Be more enthusiastic with myself and my art.

Be true... be inspired... be inspirational.

Find my dream and follow it!!
This is worth reaching for, towards my future.

"Diligence is a good thing,

but taking things easy is much more restful."

MARK TWAIN 

source

What is your spirit wishing for?

** A place to rest **

I am not asking to hide away, just some peaceful quietness. 

The simplicity of hearing my own thoughts...

what a settled spirit I would be.

***

The rest of the world can go about...

as for myself, 

I wish to slow it down and hear myself breathe!

source

Give me lots of place and room between... this will do my spirit good.

I no longer have the want or desire for the city life.

There is nothing appealing to me about 

large crowds, heavy traffic, or a ton of noise.

(sometimes I can not even hear myself think!)

***

I have lived in the city for way too long, I know it!

It has become overwhelming for me.

I can feel it, 
deep down in my soul... 

I am anxious all day and restless by night.

** It is time to have a peaceful place to rest **

"You need to claim the events of your life 

to make yourself yours.

When you truly possess all that you have been and done,

which may take some time,

you are fierce with reality."

FLORIDA MAXWELL
Where do you wish to be fierce?
* My Life Story *
Taking the reality of my daily living and fiercely applying this to create art.

source

No holding back...

take doubt, toss caution to the wind...

 and 

the fear of rejection out of the picture, and just paint.

I am a visual artist.

A have a story to tell... 

Me.

Why bottle up, this life I have lead...?

Why not...

 whole heartedly place it down on canvas.

Creating art is a process, of one's own journey...

I fiercely need to take ownership of this.  

Take hold of this thought, and make it a reality. 

Stick around... if you wish to get to know me.

What are you fiercely wishing...?

How do you wish to spend your time?

I wish...
To engage in the simplicity of life.

source

My thoughts
No need to be in such a rush...
we might miss out on the little things.
Those just might be the most meaningful moments in our lives.
I wish...

To take the time to talk, laugh, and sing... with family and friends.
To listen to others share their stories;
 gather around and embrace what has been placed in front of me.

source

Take the time...

To build strong family ties and loving communication;
 give where it has been neglected and nurture where it is needed.
Keep loving friendships close and dear to me; never taken for granted.

source

Write a note, send a letter, scribble a heart on a piece of scratch paper;

 never thinking I am wasting my time...

telling others how much I care!

I wish...

To enjoy a few of life's simple pleasures...

That are important to me.

source

A cozy place to snuggle up with my Husband.

 Read a good book, delight in some sweetness...

Enjoy a road trip and making plenty of playtime, 
to indulge in my creativity!

The essence of Purity.

If you look up the definition  purity 

These two key words keep reappearing;

freedom from

Exactly... the purity of freedom!

Freedom from the corrupting elements that have surrounded my life.

Freedom from guilt, of a past I can not change.

Freedom to live out my life in a way that makes me feel content.

Freedom to be self expressive, through my artwork.

The freedom to be pure at heart... to be who I am, where I'm at.

By fully engaging in such an element of this nature...

I couldn't wish for anything more.

Take me as I am.

This is the real deal here!

I didn't become who I am without my fair share of...

 life's little lessons!

Nothing was handed to me on a silver platter I had to earned it.

 Fight for self righteousness.  

Declare my own dignity and respect.

Own my right to live in peace.

 Build character from the ground up.

What do you wish for your health and wellness?
This is not a subject I talk too much about... it's personal.
There isn't a cure and to this very day... there are still many physicians out there 
who do not believe or are not willing to treat this chronic illness.
It is widely misunderstood and misdiagnosed!

* Fibromyalgia * 

wikipedia

What do I wish for...

Make it go away!

Rid me of this illness... and the imprisonment that this has caused.

source

Through the years, I have lost more than you think...

A great career.

The ability to do the things, I once loved.

Friendships.

 And yes... even family members.

They just do not want to understand!

Fibromyalgia...

Is chronic, widespread pain, muscle spasms, fatigue,

sleep disturbances, anxiety, headaches...

and 

the list goes on and on!!

Are we having fun yet?

We look fine on the outside.

If only you knew... the storms we battle.

Wishing you all...

Happy Healthy Wednesday!
