“Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?” – Friedrich Nietzsche Now why is it so gosh darned hard to throw away that never ending, always multiplying “to do” list and spend time richly – by slowing down, and just plain old taking it easy. Allowing ourselves to rock on […]

Adventures – and living life

Posted on May 3, 2015 by Janice Henshaw in all posts, Meditative Reflections and Photos

“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.” Edward Abbey During my travels, I have often been lost.

Sweet white blossoms of spring

Posted on April 25, 2015 by Janice Henshaw in all posts, Meditative Reflections and Photos

Daffodils – a sign of hope

Posted on March 20, 2015 by Janice Henshaw in all posts, Meditative Reflections and Photos

“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like “What about lunch?” ― A.A.

Our attitudes – are everything

Posted on February 20, 2015 by Janice Henshaw in all posts, Meditative Reflections and Photos

“The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That’s the day we truly grow up.” John C. Maxwell It gives us so much choice, doesn’t it? So much freedom. We can choose the darker, heavier attitudes that will be sure to drag us down and hurt […]
