Five Minutes to Choose Your Memories

To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it the more fit for its prime function of looking forward.  ~Margaret Fairless Barber, The Roadmender

"Imagine you will completely lose your memory of 2010 in five minutes. Set an alarm for five minutes and capture the things you most want to remember about 2010."

That was one of the writing prompts that appeared last week through Reverb 10, an online project that has me responding to a daily topic for the entire month of December.

When you have five minutes, try it. It's not a personality test or a contest to see how many things you can remember in 5 minutes. What you will realize is something  meaningful, for you alone. Of course, if you'd care to share it, please do. :D

Beautifully Different

For lack of attention a thousand forms of loveliness elude us every day. -Evelyn Underhill

This month, I'm responding to prompts offered daily by the authors of Reverb 10. I chose to do it, in hopes that it would inspire me to write daily for my blog, Lessons in Balance. So far, I've learned something new about myself, everyday. For instance, on December 8 the Prompt was, Beautifully Different:

Think about what makes you different and what you do that lights people up. Reflect on all the things that make you different - you'll find they're what make you beautiful. (Author: Karen Walrond)

My response dealt with what I consider to be the quirkiness of my brain/mind and how I manage to present myself to the world. In writing that post, I realized that the one thing no one will ever be able to see in me, is what I consider to be most beautiful. It's a good thing I have a dimple on my right cheek. :D

So that your life just gets better...

Let your dominant intent be to feel good which means be playful, have fun, laugh often, look for reasons to appreciate and practice the art of appreciation. And as you practice it, the Universe, who has been watching you practice, will give you constant opportunities to express it. So that your life just gets better and better and better. --- Abraham
