“There is guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening, we shall hear the right word.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Pay attention to the quiet things in life because you never know what you might learn or hear that could affect your days.

Sometimes we hear people say in exasperation “oh, just go ahead,” when they can’t make a decision about what to do. They don’t want to wait to hear some quiet word of guidance. But ‘going ahead’ is really an exciting opportunity. Things may not be perfect in this life, but tomorrow may bring an entirely different set of circumstances if we just listen first and then “go ahead.”

We may not find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but we may meet a new friend, discover a new joy, or learn something new about our own abilities if we only learn to listen.

There may always be some cloud looming on the horizon. Accept that it is there, but don’t let it stop you.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.” – Steve Jobs

Our individual interests and abilities usually determine the field that we enter as a way to make our living. At some time you may have seen someone performing a task that seems distasteful and wondered how they could continue in that job for years. Work opportunities may be limited for some people because of their location or other factors. But, in most cases, if you love what you do, it’s not “work” despite how demanding it might be either physically or mentally.

As we celebrate Labor Day, we honor people in every line of employment and the dignity of all labor. Work that is well done and performed with skill deserves recognition no matter what the job is. To all workers we say “Happy Labor Day.”

“Fourth of July… Hamburg fair… winter.”

Older residents of this area sometimes used this phrase to denote the passing of the seasons. We hope they’re wrong this year, but we are already past the second of those events. Despite complaining about the dry weather and all the watering we’ve had to do this summer, no one wants to think of winter’s approach just yet.

But the progression’s not far off. The start of the new school year is only a few weeks away and that signals a change in routine and activities for many of us.

Our days and weeks and months fly by with such swiftness that we hardly have time to note their passing. You might say to yourself, “I’ll take care of that next week.....” and then all too soon it’s already next month! How quickly time passes.

Our days truly are numbered. Enjoy each one to the fullest.

It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.” -- Albert Camus

You may not think of yourself as an artist, but our lives are each truly a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. No one else will waltz through life exactly as you do. No one else will color their days as you do. No one else even sings in the shower exactly as you do!

What joys there are in our days if we just take the time to look for them. When was the last time you spent a few moments examining the life you are creating and made new decisions about its direction?

We are each given the same number of hours in a day, but what people do with those magical minutes is infinitely different. Are you creating a masterpiece that will live long after you are gone or have you smudged the canvas so that the image is a blur? Slow down and take time to think about the wonderful
creation that is you.
