EXPLORE ~ DREAM ~ DISCOVER ~ With ME

Ya Just Gotta Explore, Dream, Discover
Ya Just Gotta
CELEBRATE EVERY DAY!
~ Stretch your paws and your mind my friend ~



Explore, Dream, Discover



Explore everything in this life. Be it a new opportunity, a new job, the sea shore, new music. There is a whole world out there. Enrich your life! Explore some new possibility.Just imagine all that Hope the Little Black Bear is exploring now that she is out of the den; every new scent, every new ant hill, each leaf, each pine tree! The sky is the limit for our HOPE ~ I can see those precious eyes and ears perky as she hears that voice of Dr Rogers next, "Bear, its ME" and as she looks to Lily for assurance that yep, it's all good, come on closer and see the "Bearwalker" tell him of your discoveries in the world of bears!



Like Hope, Lilly’s new bear cub, we explore to learn. We test out new skills, discovering new potential. Stepping outside of our comfort zone at times, walking gently on new paths at first and then S T O M P I N G just because we can in celebration of self, in joy of each breath and for each other.



In this virtual world, the possibilities of introducing ourselves to new thoughts, new places, new experiences are limitless. Perhaps there is someplace we have always wanted to go; a foreign county, or a special landmark in our own county. We can jump on the Internet and check it out. Quick tour, how to get there, book a flight, no limits to information that we have at hand. Without leaving the comfort of home, we can explore the world. These are amazing times. Animal Plant and the Travel Chanel provide amazing opportunities to experience the entire planet.



We move from virtual exploration to the tactile world. Explore the beach, search for shells, marvel at the concept that each shell has been tossed up on the shore for us to enjoy. Take a day trip on the local bike path and pay attention to nature. Delve into the experience. Smell the earth, catch a glimpse of the ferns at the base of the shaded trees. Listen to the wind, the birds and see the wonderment of the clouds as they pass by, finding images and angels riding high... if we but take the time!


Feel the dappled sun as it makes it’s way through the foliage.


Have you every worked on Thanksgiving at a soup kitchen, or volunteered at the local food bank. Another example of how we can see the world through more enlightened eyes by exploring the plight others live day to day. We explore these opportunities to give back. Because we have so much, our tables are full for the holidays, and others do not have this experience. Perhaps we need to develop more compassion. Explore some ways to achieve this. We will be better for the gift of the time we give.


Explore every little thing you can. Enrich your own life, grow your knowledge base. Experience whatever you choose. Life is often too short to waste it.


We know the value of dreams. We dream because we can, because no goal is ever reached until we plant the seed of hope and nurture it with the desire to turn the dream into reality. We, here, do not follow our dreams, we create them and then chase them down. Empowered by our own ability to see them through to fruition.


Making our dreams come true has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that we may fail at our attempts. To the hopeful it is encouraging because we can achieve that which we set out after, to the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.


Know your vision. Clearly see the dream in all it’s multi layered facets. Lay out the plan.


Modify it as you go. Adapt to whatever obstacles you encounter, but DO NOT lose sight of the prize. We are dreamers, every one. Chase the dream down. Own the reality that you will pursue it until it becomes another thread woven into the rich tapestry of your life.



Discover what your are made of. Discover the beauty that surrounds us. Discover the many ways in which we can give, and the limitless gifts we receive in the giving.

So I encourage each of you dear readers to explore, to dream big and to discover the meaning of your own life. This journey takes a lifetime. While it’s never to late to start, the time is now to ramp it up. We have been learning all our lives. What have we not yet tapped in this exploration, these opportunities to discover?

Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today"

The fire is burning brightly this morning, the embers are hot, their flickers creating messages of HOPE in healing thoughts for those across the miles, smiles on the winds... Sending healing thoughts of love, energy and prayers on the breezes for all whose names you often read here ~
Jill who is back in chemo this week, with warpaint on... Chris in NY, Cindy in Northern VA, Shelby who is 6 years old, and the many others who are fighting their fights, and asking for prayers, please remember them...

Wherever you are and whatever you are doing today... do it the best way you can, take time for YOU and HOPE, reach, explore, discover and wonder through the eyes of a child, the desire of a little Black Bear and the grace of an Elder...

note: yes, this is brief today... heehe, got to keep ya wondering, but no, didn't have tea!

Walk In Beauty,

DRSES

Hope your fever breaks today. Thank you for the blog. Don't know how you can string two sentences together looking like a truck just rolled over you.
You are our best champion. Get well ASAP.

Did you get the license plate of that truck? If it's the same one that hit me, let me know and we'll get them!! Woke up in pain this morning...back is OUT..big time..which means its time to see my chiropractor ...my bestest friend EVER when I"m in pain. But, the pain means I"m alive, and it means I had a great weekend pushing the limits...Saw friends and family and had a fantastic time.

Now, back to work for me, back to school for my 13yo daughter, back to dance classes for her, and orchestra rehearsals for me....all KINDS of fun!

Bright Blessings to all today!! Every day above grass is a good day my friends!

Thank you for today's blog, even though you are not feeling well, you always GIVE to us,
the readers, your friends, family.
Hope the 4-leggeds are comforting you and that you will be feeling MUCH better soon.
2 weeks of not working, I am EXPLORING my options, but savoring the slower pace of the day, healing my KNEE, soaking up nature.
Prayers to the trapped miners in W.Va.
Counting my blessings in life, I remain FIRM

I prefer contacting the police when someone hits me, not going out to "get them."
Karma is good.
What a wonderful world!
So thankful for every minute!
Loving every minute!

What wonderful words of wisdom. Yes, we walk each day as though it will be our last, and live each day to the fullest. I have no worry for tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself. Thank you for your beautiful, meaningful posts.

That's one busy truck. Rolled over me and half the people at work over last 4 days. Oh weel, tomorrow will be a bright new beginning. Hope everyone recovers from their truck encounters.
Sun feels good today. Really feels like spring is here to stay. Like you Irene am sending warm thoughts to the families in W.Va today.
Best to all.

Linda,(or Michelle)whatever you are calling yourself this time... Your rear is hanging out again. It's a virus, not Karma. Guess you lack the depth necessary to get the analogy. Climb back under your rock. Take your meds...
Better there than here.
You remain unwelcome on this blog.
STOMP, STOMP, STOMP STOMP, Maybe you can shake that cloak of evil you wear so proudly.

I still do NOT understand why some person...you know who you are... insists on making a fool of herself on this page. STOMP..STOMP.....GO BACK TO WHERE ...
YOU BELONG
OR where you think you belong, as I see it, the shoe does not fit yet you insist on forcing it on
WE ARE NOT LIKE YOU...
you are not like us... we are positive energy and you are so
NEGATIVE......
may you find peace, as you are in dire need....
sign me, A,
