Some days (all, really) it's the little things that make the biggest difference. We get sidetracked by big issues, big bills, big talk about little fears. And the clearest way for me out of that impossibly restrictive mindset, is to indulge delight.
Even the littlest, seemingly inconsequential dalliances with delight can shift my mindset, my perspective, which in turn can completely shift my reality.
So a few days ago when we were drowning in a sea of deadlines and contemplating (in a very whiny way) our dwindling bank account, I decided the best thing for me to do was go shopping. In my photo library. I just went for a walk among photos from Victoria, most of them taken by Aimee when we were there for a visit.
Thirty minutes later I had this lovely composite. And a new attitude.
I love red and green. Red for STOP (whining.) Green for GO (play). And somewhere in there, a lesson for driving home delight.

We are planning on moving to Victoria, we live in San Diego.
Just ordered the 2010 calendar and DVD. It will be my muse when deadlines call, and bills to be paid.
I love you sincerely,
Cherie Young
