As my eyes slowly opened this morning, I was not disappointed with all the Splendor my eyes drank in. The beach was drawing me, the breeze, the sounds of the water reaching the shore and alas going back out. As soft whispers wooing, they were awakening me to frolic with delight and granting me the permission to allow my heart the Merriment it longs for during the school months. Those months that restrict me, causing my absence in those months to be felt instantly as I breathe in deep inhaling all the beauty around me. This moment embraces me and allows my being to stretch in its glorious splendor somehow trying to savor this enough to last me all the months ahead. My cup of coffee is more caffeinated it appears this morning, thoughts dance about and whisk me away, somehow stirring my Heart. As we find ourselves on the downhill slide of Summer, I proclaim that I will delight in Today and arise to meet the challenge of Making the last of this intoxicating time something to appreciate and long for next Summer. Such I liken this to Life itself. Oscar Wilde was quoted as saying, "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist." Although I will miss terribly the simplicities of Summer once school is back, I will be better by the discipline and structure. As to Life, so may times we want to whisk away from the humdrum and melancholy moments when we must choose to not Exist but to Live in those times as well. Maybe even more important during those times...
As the weekends wouldn't be as sweet if we didn't have the week, so is Life and Living not Existing. Make those goals, strive to obtain that which you first thought was not possible. Make a difference. The Wonderment of Life is allowing the Dream to emerge as it should. We do our due diligence but Life when Lived will shape it as it was Truly designed to be. I ponder over what Oscar Wilde meant, why did he find that to Live is the rarest thing? We all were designed with a purpose and uniquely created to be no one but our best self imaginable. A beautiful dear friend texted me the other day about me being a mentor with her becoming a Mom herself with her daughter, as humbled as I was, it brought such acute awareness, if I were being anyone other than myself and not driven by my purpose I could not be this to her. Same applies to you, people are watching how you Live your life. I will share with you what she said to me because I believe I am not the only one this applies to. She said, " break down the iron walls and be who you are supposed to be." I needed that inspiration to charge after self doubt, inadequacies and the other blockades that prevent me from Living and cause me to Exist. Identify what is causing you from Reaching that Dream and LIVE this could be the last chance you get so this time might be the charm! Be a Trendsetter and go against the Norm and be one who truly Lives....
