"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
- Barack Obama
Do not limit the idea to politics, just because a President is saying it.
Do not limit and dispense the idea, because you are not into that "motivational stuff".
Do not pass over the idea as just another wide meaning general comment.
Pause.
Take an uninterupted moment, and think about one thing you are wanting to be different. One thing, one thought, one picture in your mind, one feeling in your heart, one lost and frustrated minute.... one thing that stalls your progress and has you bound to it.
We are the change we seek. We have the power, the energy and ... and ... the knowledge to overcome the obstacle.
We just need to put the moment into our hand ... sneak away to a quiet place ... open it up ... and set our thoughts on a new approach.
We are capable, if we believe.
Great morning, Great day. A great you, means a good day for others.

AYD - Mar 3, 2013 - Self Care
Sunday is a great day for some Self Care.
We need to take care of ourselves so that we are charged up for the week to come, but also just for any day to day encounters we have.
Do something for awhile today that is all about you. Something that makes you glad for you.
Read a book.
Paint, clean the garage, go for a run, a workout, spend some time with a friend etc etc...
Do something that you like to do, and not something that satisfies a schedule for some other purpose.
Self Care... a vital ingredient in our success.
Great morning, great day. Great start for you, great day for others.

AYD - Mar 2, 2013 - The message is clear.
"We lift ourselves by our thought. We climb upon our vision of ourselves. If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and of yourself. Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, always everywhere"
- Orison Swett Marden, 1850-1924
Inspirational Writer
The message is pretty clear.
All the talk about positive thinking is true. However, sadly, most people are looking for such a Get Rich Quick philosophy, even when it comes to feeling good about themselves.
We often get so hung up on one detail, we forget the tortoise and the hare.
So without getting wonderfully longwinded because I am feeling my passion about this topic rise ... can we just read Mr. Marden's words again? The message is pretty clear.
We may need a friend, or a like minded person who we can bounce this off of. Someone you can share it with so they can agree, and together you can remind each other of the simplicity...and the need for consistancy... in believing in ourselves.
We talk about it here all the time. Take some time to revisit all that is good about you, and what you have achieved. Purposely drop and squash a couple of negative thoughts per day and it will become natural to you.
Enlarge your thought of your great life. And others will see what you see.
Great morning, great day. Great you, great day for others.

AYD - March 1, 2013 - We Begin with a Smile
Laughter truly is the best medicine.
How often to we stutter thru sore abdominal muscles, while we wipe away rolling tears of joy, "I haven't laughed like that in a long time!"
If the week was great, then start your weekend and March off with a chuckle. If you had a tough week, then make today your release valve and leave all the pressure and stress and deadlines on the table, and take a moment to just relax and giggle a bit.
These are some of wit submissions by one of my favorite comedians, Steven Wright. I hope you enjoy, and have a good start to the homestretch of the weekend.
Take care.

Husband, Daddy, Author and Needing a good Laugh.
42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
A beautiful woman moved in next door. So I went over and returned a cup of sugar. “You didn’t borrow this.” “I will.”
A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand.
Everyone has a photographic memory, some just don’t have film.
Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.
I had to stop driving my car for a while - the tires got dizzy.
I installed a skylight in my apartment. The people who live above me are furious.
I intend to live forever - so far, so good.
