Getting In Step

 

An early morning walk

is a blessing for the whole day

Thoreau

If you start your day like this

 or like this

just make sure

you start your day

and your day does not start you!

and that's poetiquejustis

Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. 

Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever,

 even if your whole world seems upset.
St Frances De Sales

Living a Little More than Yesterday

 

I think life has a little more to give

Samuel Johnson

More than food 

More than drink

More than work

More than rest

Life has so much more to give

And you have so much more

to give

to life

Go! Give! Live!

and that's poetiquejustis

Bur seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness

and all of these things will be added to you

Matthew 6:33

You Are Here

 

Start where you stand

Napoleon Hill

This is it

This is where  today begins

and yesterday ends

-Right now-

This is where you are who you are

and it is from here

this very spot

 

that you will begin to seek

whoever you are going to be

and do all the things you are going to do

right here

right now

Isn't that amazing?

and that's poetiquejustis

So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.

1 Corinthians 15:58 (NLT)

Cheers!

 

Wealth is the ability to fully experience life

Thoreau

Too small a sip and 

and life will not satisfy

Too large a gulp

and life becomes too hard to swallow

Too bitter the brew 

and you may lose your taste for living

Each day

Fill your own cup

even if it is from the rain of sadness and joy

and drink to life in whatever way you can

and that's poetiquejustis

Fear of the Lord is a life-giving fountain
Proverbs 14:27

Who Says You Can't?

 

Thank goodness my education was neglected

Beatrix Potter

No one told Ms Potter 

that she had to be trained to draw

so she produced art

No one told her that she 

did not know how to publish a book

So she did- again and again and again

Where would we be had

Ms Beatrix Potter 

listened to the voices saying

"you can't do that"

Where will you be

if you do?

More importantly

where will you be if you don't? 

I was just wondering

and that's poetiquejustis

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, 

but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do 

and think. 

Then you will learn from your own experience how His ways 

will really satisfy you.

Romans 12:2

You Win

 

The way of the sage is to act

but not to compete

Lao-Tzu

I won my first spelling bee

 in First Grade

I won my first poetry competition

in 6th grade

In other words...

I got competition in to my blood pretty early

But then I grew up

And realized that competing in life

Meant running someone else's race

For a prize of their choosing

 Just to make sure

that other people lose

Now, where's the fun in that?

I bet I can get where I want to go

without worrying if you get their first!

and that's poetiquejustis

Let everyone be sure that he is doing his very best, for then he will have the personal satisfaction of work well done and won’t need to compare himself with someone else. 

Galatians 6:4

Yours for the Singing

 

Music produces a kind of pleasure that human nature cannot do without

Confucius

The melody of laughter

The notes of praise

The symphony of nature

Your life is set to music

                                                       that only you can share with the world

and that's poetiquejustis

Speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit.

 Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord

Ephesians 5:19
