Tiny Tidbits of Life is a place for me to communicate with others that want to be inspired or want to inspire with their words, images, thoughts or experiences. Do you feel energized, inspired or in awe when you look at the sunrise, the calm of a lake, the ripples of the ocean water as it finishes edging up on the sand, a heron spreading its wings as it takes flight or a deer gracefully leaping away into the woods?
No, maybe you’re inspired by the beautiful piece of art you were lucky enough to see or the great book you found at Barnes and Noble, an old bookstore or flea market? Do the arts inspire you? Maybe a broadway show, ballet, opera, comedy leave you smiling, dancing or humming a tune. Does music sooth your soul? How about the random acts of kindness or the miracle you hear about and just wonder how amazing life really is? Well each of the things mentioned are some of the things that are food for my soul; visual and audio peacemakers. Things that sooth the overwrought.
I think I want to have a place to mention these things that move me, so I can give thanks. We exist and take advantage of nature and humanity. Maybe this is my chance to show a little gratitude for all the blessings surrounding us and moving us forward.
The world is going at such a fast pace. We can’t slow down long enough to find and acknowledge the things that mean something to us. I want to bring light to the stories, images, places, and sayings that reverberate within me. I’m touched by many things. I just have to stop and allow the messages to sink in so I can hear them. What resonates inside of me? Those things that wake that quieted voice that is elusive and hard to hear. Maybe I can tune in with my inner voice and maybe in doing so, others too, can find their inner voice and place of peace.
I’m not the typical blogger. In fact, I’m probably the least likely person to blog. Something though inside of me is pushing me to go beyond my comfort zone and share my thoughts, the visual images that move me forward.
Where do I want this blog to go? I can’t answer that definitively right now. I just need to start posting and see where it goes. The messages and images will be those that move me during the week I post. I’m sure life events, things that take place at work will impact my overall view. Before I post though, I’m going to dig down deep and see what strikes a special cord. What makes me feel alive? What makes me want to celebrate or give thanks? Those are the messages I want to communicate.
Maybe later, I can share opinions or other ideas. For now let’s just share some happiness and thanks.
Too altruistic and idealistic? Maybe, but maybe that is what some of us need. I’m sure for some, this type of blog will not be of interest. It’s those though, that find this a little bit interesting, those are the ones I want to touch. For they are the ones that already share my essence.
