This Journey Of Mine



Dirty Footprints Studio will be unplugged and disconnected from the online world for the next few months. Sometimes the journey ahead requires a new perspective, a new way of approaching life, and extra space to grow. I will see you again in May 2010. Big, big hugs and I leave you with this....



I PROMISE MYSELF

To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.
To make all my friends feel that there is something worth while in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of
others as I am about my own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the
greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile
to every living creature I meet.
To give so much time to improving myself that I
have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud word, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side,
so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

--Christian D. Larson



Peace & Love.

May you find ways to cultivate stillness
for it is when the water
in which we've been splashing and playing,
and racing
becomes tranquil
that we are able to see a true reflection.

May you come away from stillness
better able
to dance your truth.

Love to you.

Wishing you well! See you in May. Till then:
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

I second the beautiful sentiments expressed by the other commenters.

Oh dear, that's a long time, but these breaks seem to do you such good, which in turn does us good as you bring things back here that are bumped to the next level by the break. Sending you lots of love and good wishes as you sail forth... and, I've got your e-mail, so I am not going to shed a tear over this, lol.
