Better Yourself

I feel that as a person you should try and better yourself.  Try new things.  Be kinder.  Surround yourself with people who are more achieved than you so that you will strive for better things. So you don't sit stagnant in life.  Learn.  Grow.  Move.

As we get older we tend to get into the same old circle...........go to work, come home, sit on the couch.  Watch horrible reality shows that tear people's lives apart.  This is what some of our parents did, the majority anyway.  We tend to complain about people, things, gossip.  Really this is a wasted energy, a cycle that needs to be broken.

I see this at family/friends events such as cookouts, gatherings.  People stand around complain, talk about this, that.  No one talks about ideas, how to change things and if they do it stays right there.........that "talk about" stage.  Get people together and play volley ball or flag football with the kids.  Do people do that anymore?

Go make something happen.  Go make someone's day brighter.  Reach out to someone who needs it. Travel.  There is so much to see. Find your passion, no matter how big or small.   Forgive.  Find a club or a meet-up with people who like the same thing you do.  A cooking class, wine group, arts, movies.  Can't find one?  Create one.  Learn something new; a language, how to play an instrument, how to change oil or buy stock.

You will be surprised how much you will grow by doing something you normally wouldn't do!

Inspiration

Inspiration comes from many places; books, movies, songs, people.

I watched a movie on Netflix sometime ago, Into The Wild.  This is based on a true story.  It was one of those movies that stayed with me, not only because it was  a true story and the main character died, but because of the inspiration that came from it.  If you haven't seen it check it out, or Google his name.......Chris McCandles.  It is also a book.

Of course, without going to the extreme of what he did, I believe that you should not remain stagnate in this life.  There is so much to do, learn, see.  You can explore in your own neighborhood and find something new or learn something new.  You don't have to have money to do this.  The library is a vast resource of information.  

You cannot grow if you don't expand your mind and fear, it will paralyze you.   When learning something makes you uncomfortable, do it.  Push.  Because in the end, once you do what you think you can't do, it is an amazing feeling to experience in itself.

 

Very True

Focus your energies on positive things.  

Lend Me Your Eyes.................

I love summer. 

I love the feeling I have when it comes.......

I want to lay on the beach.  This is the only time I can really relax and be lazy without guilt......

Summertime gives me the passion to live, create, travel..........it gives me so much energy....

I want to be a hippy and live on the beach....;)

Which Door Do You Choose?

Vintage Tooled Leather Handbags

I have a new obsession!

 
Tooled handbags!  Do you remember these?  I was born in the wrong generation.  I love all the 60-70's style.  Look at this one:

I love the mushroom design!  These things are so cool! I was at a thrift store this week.  When am I not?  I am in and out of them all week long!  Guess what I found:

Not as nice as the ones above, but after some TLC they will be great for the motorcycle, with jeans.....anything!  They stitching is in perfect shape!  I love them.  I can strap it across my chest and not have to worry about setting it down anywear, specially when I am having drinks on the water. 

I did manage to find a nice flowered tooled leather bag online!!  I cannot wait for it to come!!  

Have a great weekend!!
