Today is not so simple... I woke early which was great. I was hoping to have some "me" time, but instead was welcomed by a steaming pile of crap. Literally. My dog eat something and could not make it outside. Good times (I apologize if I just ruined your appetite).
Last night I went to bed thinking about how it's so easy for some people. Some people can just do anything! They wave their hands and magic happens. They can handle 20 plates in the air, be creative, organized and maintain a perfect house. Sometimes I feel like I try way too hard (and don't get much in return). I didn't sleep well and had a horrible nightmare on top of it all. The good thing was, in my dream, I rescued a girl that was stuffed in a box and left to die.
Wow...is this a fun post or what?
So it seems that today will not be so simple. In fact, I am not sure any day is simple. I suppose that I just need to try and find some simple moments. Not sure I will get too many of those today.
So today I will look for the light. Where ever I can find it.
Cheeri-o...hope your Tuesday is filled with light...

"It's so easy for some people" is like "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence." Please don't subscribe to that myth, dear Caroline! It only makes you think your life is worse by comparison. It isn't!! (Except for the steaming pile of dog crap, of course.)
I'm looking for light today too. Hopefully, there is a little bit of fun in the struggle to find it. Have a good day, Caroline!
darn dogs. i have been up since 5 am because mine decided it needed to go potty.
i hope your day improves.
The girl was you, Caroline. It was your creative self that you stuffed into a box so long ago, and rescued recently by letting her out and be a part of the world. She is your artistic self.
Feeling better now? I hope so :) Have a hug on me!
we were of like minds today i think - hope you find the sunbeam to day to hitch onto. and i hope the day gets much much better.
Thanks for the uplifting comments!!
XOXO
I am seeing the light today...and it's good :)
ugh. some days are SO HARD. UGH!!! the older i get the less i feel that i am properly equipped for the trials of life. wah! seriously! but maybe i am on a pity trip? everything seems to be a pain in the ass lately. i know it isn't EVERYTHING, but sometimes it sure feels like it.
hang in there. good times have got to be coming soon. :)
The light comes from within us.
Well, from my side of the fence, you look like one of those people yourself, so there (I am sticking my tongue out at you!)
I got your book in the mail yesterday, and it is absolutely gorgeous.
Now, don't you feel like "one of those people" for real? You've got A BOOK OUT for petes sakes!
Congratulations again.
Caroline I think BOTH photos are amazing!
I discovered I was a 'lightworker' back in 1980 but did not know how to utilize this gift.
Blogging has shown me the way to spread the abundance of light I hold.
The quest for light has always been important to me. Mine is not a search for literal light - more, the search for direction, a message, a cleaning away of uncertainty and the recognition of inner spirit and authenticity.
What I have learned is that there is always light, but sometimes I'm just not looking for it in the right place. I am probably searching for it straight ahead, the most obvious place to look when, if I would only glance to my right or left, I would glimpse its radiance.
Today is 11/11 a very special day to shine the light throughout the universe.
Hugs

Caroline,
Even if it doesn't always seem like it, your light does shine...always. I see this light from you, even when things aren't perfect. Maybe it's a level of peacefulness I feel. I'm not exactly sure...except that it's there...
The light is mesmerizing and alluring. I can stare at it for hours. :)
Caroline,
I agree with Lance your light shines in your words, your photos and your raw honesty. No need to be perfect or even as good as anyone else. Just be you and trust that it will take you to a good place. And don't compare yourself to others your uncomparable!
Excuse me now while I go take my own advice! Love and light to you and all the smiles you bring us with your beauty inside and out.
Simple moments are the best treasures, like when you read a comment from one of your regular followers, and it lifts you up and makes you smile. That is a simple moment. I hope you have many of those today.
You are fine just the way you are. No one can juggle everything perfect all the time. Seriously, perfection is boring.
