A Memo to Monday Morning
Published April 22, 2013 | 
Monday morning,
you have arrived.
A blustery day (so far)…
I need to find a way
to turn you into something worthwhile.
Perhaps I will remember to:
smile,
be thankful for the little things,
and disassociate from people and experiences that
do not serve my happiness and well being.
Yeah, Monday morning…
As you turn to afternoon,
may you mellow a bit and treat me kindly
as I soon embark upon your trail this A.M.
In concert with you, Dear day,
I will find a way to
peace,
an armor to deflect the stress…
and eventually rest so that I may welcome in
Tuesday with promise.

Published April 6, 2013 | 
Dear God,
May gentleness rule this day,
and let worries melt away to a place
far away from me.
May in their place, be a space for peace
that comes home to stay
within my mind, heart, and body.
May your love and guidance
guide me today to remember
what is most important:
Love,
Kindness,
Joy in the little things,
Forgiveness,
And most of all
Peace.
Amen.

In the quiet space…

In the quiet space,
the quiet place…
There are both stirrings and calm.
In the space where I can really listen…
I Am blessed,
I Am safe,
and I Am creating…
There are no distractions
taking me away
from the place God wants me to be…
For this is the quiet space,
the place where I can really listen…

May I never get so caught up in the fatigue of the day… this morning’s short prayer
Published February 5, 2013 | 
Dear God,
Thank you for looking out for me last night. I am safe. My family is safe. I thank you.
I appreciate so many things right now such as this quiet time I have this morning, my warm cup of coffee, and the comfort of my plush couch
and my favorite bathrobe I have on.
I know in just a short while I will be out there in the world again giving the tasks of the day my all.
Please help me to keep in sight the important things:
taking care of myself and family, being a strong and positive leader to my young students, and an encouraging face for someone who meets me in the hallway or on the street.
May I never get so caught up in the fatigue of the day that I take for granted this beautiful thing that is my life.
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Amen.
