How's it possible To know we are not alone And so many fall - And we've all given Our fullest selves to this life And fall in the end - How's it possible To welcome our own defeat Our children will to

Regardless of the day of the week, we get to choose what occupies our time and attention. Choose daily whether you will exist or live. Don't wait for Friday. #SusansMorningMusing #MorningMusing Model: @mind_into_matter “Don't Just Don't just learn, experience. Don't just read, absorb. Don't just change, transform. Don't just relate, advocate. Don't just promise, prove. Don't just criticize, encourage. Don't just think, ponder. Don't just take, give. Don't just see, feel. Don’t just dream, do. Don't just hear, listen. Don't just talk, act. Don't just tell, show. Don't just exist, live.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ex1fIh-TI/?igshid=6napolnlr2fc

So it begins. Another day. Another view of the moon high in the sky and the sun coming over the horizon. Do you ever get up early? There is no beauty quite like that you see with your own eyes. Adjust your schedule one day, go to bed early, get up early, take in a new view of life. Welcome to Wednesday! #SusansMorningMusing #MorningMusing https://www.instagram.com/p/B21PYUQByEg/?igshid=17tdxkv1ns1hf

Maybe this will be your first thing to see today. That little shirt says, "Tiny but Awesome" -- maybe that's you...feeling small in this world but doing great things where you are. Don't let anyone make you question how important you are. You, my friend, are very awesome. . And in other thoughts -- aren't sleeping babies just the sweetest things? 💜 . #SusansMorningMusing #MorningMusing https://www.instagram.com/p/B2yXovehZxM/?igshid=104ttxibbysxg

Sometimes, you and I can feel like an empty bottle, tossed out the window, left on the side of the road. Unlike the inanimate object, we can choose to not be consumed, we can choose to refill ourselves, and we can choose to extend our precious insides to all the right people. Looking at that empty bottle, cast aside from a car window, I am stricken about the person who threw it -- Probably a teenager, most likely thinking they were becoming more of an adult by the drinking, and hopefully were not beginning a lifelong spiral of looking for answers and fun inside of a bottle, instead of enjoying a sip or two along the way. What happens, when you consume all that is within another vessel, is not that you feel more fulfilled, it is, oddly enough, that you feel emptier. * Life lesson: other people are not yours to consume, for if you do, you will discover that you feel less fulfilled in your thirst for power. Leave something for someone else, find your strength within your own vessel, and enjoy the sip or two offered freely by those who know they can trust your love. #SusansMorningMusing #MorningMusing https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ZB4VrhsfU/?igshid=1n8qkxh5go6ks

What does courage look like to you? Courage to me is like standing at the bottom of a steep set of steps and being willing to try to get up the first one, then to try the second one. I might not reach the top, but I tried. . . #SusansMorningMusing #MorningMusing . "I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what." - Atticus Finch #HarperLee https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Ed5JshjEp/?igshid=2vy0e4usayae

Roses big and small are so beautiful, created of petals that fall into layers, effortlessly. Find beauty in your day. Bring beauty to someone else's day. Celebrate the layers of life. #MorningMusing https://www.instagram.com/p/B1d2BiOBx7Q/?igshid=clx0ncpbb7ug

As you attack your work today, whether it's collecting pollen or cleaning houses or crunching numbers, look around to see the beauty that is just beyond your normal focus. Life gets busy, but we sometimes choose to miss what's often right in front of us. #LifeIsBeautiful💞 #belikeabee🐝 #MorningMusing (at Murfreesboro, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Le1P_hilu/?igshid=ynpoqa7wp9js
