Just call me "Wonder Woman" this morning. Nope, nothing magical or mystical. Just feeling empowered after my morning meditation and prayer. God is great, life is good, and I am blessed beyond measure!

Allegedly, ole Albert Einstein said "Imagination is more important than knowledge". Interesting, doncha think?
Well, if you have ever seen a really smart person with no imagination, you might be (as I am) inclined to agree with him.
While we cannot spend life in a daydreaming haze, it is still good to be able to suspend the bonds of reality and let our imaginations soar sometimes.
Little kids are limitless in this capacity, and it has to be a form of grace. Unfortunately as they (we) get older, those dispossessed of their own dreams seek to rob and rid us of ours as well. What a shame.
Instead of stifling our imaginations and losing those dreams, we need to ...as gently and lovingly as possible....ignore those people and nurture our faith, our hopes, and our imagination. So it seems to me.

There is a saying: "Cherish this moment, for THIS moment IS your life".
It is true. We need to realize that yesterday is done with, and tomorrow is not promised. What we have...all that we really have..is now. While we may and should learn from the past and hope for the future, we should not waste time living in either one, but realize the blessing of today and make the most of it. So it seems to me.

Reading a blog (not here) from earlier in the month by Dr. Wayne Dyer, I enjoyed what he said about being a writer. It can apply to life as well.
He mentioned "going with the flow", which is one of the main things a good friend of mine and I speak of often.
Dr. Dyer credited Abraham Maslow with teaching him years ago to "put forth what I wanted, my work, my message, and then detach from the outcome." How cool! How true.
He spoke further about Maslow teaching him that he should just let his writing flow and quit trying to edit it; just let it pour forth and get his passion on the paper. Others could edit it. He said that writing was like a lot of other things, the more one does, the better one becomes at it. So, one should just let it flow, stop judging and get out of one's own way. A passion or calling is not something one does, it is who one is!
Good advice for a number of other things in life as well, or so it seems to me.

Well, now you know some of what is on my mind this morning. What do you think? What is on your mind?
