Impact! When I Wrote that word in my journal this morning……it jumped off the page and came alive! Reminded me of my youngest granddaughter…..full of energy and life!

Has an impact on me….. Perhaps it would do us all good to allow children to have an impact on us!

It just so happens that I don’t have to look for things to have an impact on my day. This must have been brewing in my mind, last night before bed I wrote out things I want to do today. Not like a ‘to do’ list…..this was different. Looking at the index card I wrote on, it was like a life style resolution. Something to embrace, although my yoga and meditation aren’t on the card.

Writing my blog is one of those things I put on my list……that’s what I’m doing before the crack of dawn.

It’s not forced. I’m doing it because it’s what I want to do! It’s something I enjoy doing and has been a big part of my life for the past 4 years.

Life by design… That’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but daily life has seem to have gotten in the way. You know, falling (being fooled) into doing things that seem to be important but don’t lead you to where you want to go/do, if we have such an inkling. (Insert smiley face here.)

Impact!

I’m not letting this day go to waste… My granddaughter aims to discovery, have fun and do it with excitement!! I’m gonna treat that like it’s contagious and I’m aiming to catch it for life!!!

Living with purpose….living in the now. Living in the now with purpose!!!!

Having an impact.

There’s no need, I feel to go into what I wrote last night on the waiting index card……that while not irrelevant is going to be a fruit of my life that any reader that comes upon my blogs will experience.

But, I’m not doing anything for you…..no, this is much more selfish, I’m doing this for me. It’s that such a good thing can’t help but spill over allowing others to be…..impacted?

In passing, I read something in passing about the benefits of setting a deadline. It’s something we experience in school and at work but don’t seem to employ (at least I haven’t) in my personal everyday life.

To some or maybe most this may seem ‘old hat’. You’ve been on to this a long time ago. Kudos!!! It’s just arrived here for me and I feel the excitement (especially when I think of my grandaughter) and I don’t want to let it go.

I have a tendency to put myself aside for others……not anymore.

Maybe I’m not alone in this wayward life…..I just read a Facebook posting of a friend expressing frustration, being upset and annoyed at not achieving something.

Life is full of ups and downs, downs and outs and disappointments. Overcoming those gives us a sense of purpose and can energize.

Not all discoveries are walking thru the jungles of Mexico, of the cobblestone streets of Europe….they bloom and exist right where we are, in our minds is where they start. Follow them!!! Discover!!!

Today, I’m living my little index card……having an impact on my life.

Wishing you the opportunity to have enjoy the best of your life today and everyday forward.

Peace, love, and beaches,

John
