Several times a day I find myself with a smile on my face caused by something that crossed my mind. It could be from the past, the present, or a thought of someone else. When you are smiling and others feel the positive energy behind your smile, it may cause them to smile, and who knows where your smile will spread.

When we first arrived in the valley, we used to drive a road that gave us a breathtaking view of the majestic mountains to the west. We built our home where we had that view. Now, sixty years later, the majestic mountains are still there, even though the valley has changed considerably. It is good to have stability in our hearts, regardless of how our world changes.

With the recent cold weather our thoughts focused on the memory of the joy of eating fresh baked bread. I used to make it before I became allergic to gluten. Now that there is gluten free flour, it was time to try again. The results were not the same. We find many things different from what we remember. We have changed. It is time to make updates.

At just the right time, when the sun is coming up, it creates an alpine glow that can spotlight a single mountain. Sometimes people who are not used to being in the spotlight are noticed by others for something either positive or negative. That is the time to let a positive light shine through for the good of others.

Winter has returned and the snow is adding up again one inch at a time, with a dusting or more each day instead of a big storm. Life changes the same way, a little bit at a time. It all adds up. We can make progress or we can regress if we are not mindful of the little changes. One inch or one moment, life and the weather move on.

The new coating of white snow has freshened up the landscape. It reminds me of a term called “whitewashing”, when white paint is used to cover up surface flaws to create a fresh clean feeling. People often try to whitewash their lives so other people won’t discover their flaws. Perfection comes from positive heart-based intentions.

Years ago I saw a commercial on television advertising a cereal that adults may have eaten as a child. The message was, “discovering it again for the first time.” It stuck in my head, reminding me that we can discover life again for the first time every day.

A lot of snow has melted the last few days. We have reached the half-way point to meteorological spring, and now winter is starting over again. In life we can start all over again every day to keep us in tune with our soul’s purpose, even if it is in just a small way.
