March Of The Penguins

The other day something happened that really shook me up. Something shocking and unexpected and perplexing. It made me doubt some things that I had believed to be real and question my own truths. And so I asked myself what is it I really do KNOW for sure at this point in my life and I came up with the following.

I know that gratitude will fill my bank account faster than a New York minute.

I know there really isn’t any right or wrong, only what my own heart is telling me.

I know that a good cup of tea can solve almost every problem and if not solve it, at least soothe it for a little while.

I know that people need love more than they need things, but things are sometimes how they get love.

I know that when I focus with absolute determination, I always get what I want.

I know that laughter and sunshine can restore my soul.

I know that the sight of a newly opened morning glory makes my heart sing.

I know that nothing is more fun than playing with a puppy, except maybe playing with a dolphin.

I know that some time by myself each day makes me easier to live with.

I know that the more I learn, the more humble I become.

I know that it’s the simple things in life that bring me joy and I can choose to be happy for no reason.

I know that things change and that can be a good thing, even if it doesn’t appear to be at the time.

I know that out of great sadness and despair, joy can come, if I just surrender and let go.

I know that everything tastes better outside.

I know that pansies can be very deceiving. They are much stronger and hardier than they look and so am I.

I know that freedom is an inside job.

I know that love is the only thing we take with us when we leave and it is all that matters in the end.
