There are things that each individual will connect with for inner strength. Those awesome niche's in ones inner being that tell them that they are 'all right'.  The stillness to catch my breath in ever moving time and the objects that just may give me a reason to believe.

I find those wonderous things in a crashing wave and a rustling wind about my face. I find these things in the beauty of a bloom. Take time to reflect, to catch your breath and regroup if need be......and gain that strength to just move on. 

Take a moment.....................

All those blooms are mine...over the last couple of years....the "loving embrace" was from my son. :)

Love the reminder! Wish I could enjoy catching my breath in Hawaii sometime :)

I try to take time from the hustle and bustle just to be.  Take time to be where I am!

Best,

Very very nice, Sally,  I've begun staring at the stars at night lying on my back - up in the Sierra Nevadas.  When you see thousands of stars, it tends to put things in perspective.  Great job!

Running a business is a lot like planting a garden.  It takes faith and elbow grease.

Ohhh Sally.  That is such a beautiful slide show.  And the message .... could not be more on target.

Thanks for the boost today.  It's gray, cloudy and probably going to rain but now I won't care.  I'll just keep seeing your beautiful flowers in my mind.

Sally: Absolutely beautiful … I could feel the fresh air, ocean breeze and warmth of the sun while watching the video. It’s been years since I have been to the Islands … and yet I remember it all so vividly well. Thank you for sharing!!

I find those moments in nature for the most part as well. We all need to take a minute or two once and while to just stop and breathe.

Beautiful video and thoughts, Sally.  I used to be one of those people who rushed through everything and I'm SO glad I've slowed down.  I don't believe I realized what I was missing.

HI Sally - Beautiful photos and a lovely video.  Thanks so much for sharing it.  We all need to take a little time to enjoy the beauty around us.

I agree. The old saying to "take time to stop and smell the roses" is sage advice in these times. We live with constant stress, and just looking around at nature is a wonderful way to see there's more to life than the hectic pace we all keep. Sometimes, I'll be going about my day, and just happen to catch a glimpse of the sky, which causes me to stop and look at the beautiful blue color, and the soft white clouds, then the green of the trees, the colors of the flowers, etc... it's instantly soothing =)

Sally - Very Nice Slide Show ... your photos and sentiments on each slide reflect the person we all know here on Active Rain. If the day ever comes when I get to Hawaii and meet you in person I know the person I meet will be a perfect reflection of the person I see here.

Sally,

We all need to "stop and smell the roses" so to speak. Life can get lost if we don't.

Sometimes I wonder where I am .. I know where I AM but I wonder where "I" am... does that make any sense?

Stopping to think, ponder a little, enjoy the beauty around us helps us know who "we" are.
