All of my life to fit in
All of my life to fit in
I have always felt alone in life, always. I can’t remember a time every feeling a part of anything. I don’t know if that is because of my un-bringing or because I guard my heart from anything that threatens to hurt. In so doing I believe I have missed out on a lot of life, family, friends and living because I am afraid to feel a connection to anyone but Alex. However, my sweet Uncle Gunn burst through all my defenses with his loving kindness and understanding of this phobia some Antells have holding everyone at arms length. It’s hard growing up an Antell. There were unspoken family expectations and when you feel like you don’t measure up it was easier to disengage then to suck it up and join. I’m not a joiner, one that goes along with everyone else. I sit back and watch that is my nature. My sweet Uncle today has shown me something so BIG….Do you see this wildflower?
Yes my Uncle has a love for wildflowers, sunsets and sunrises and all of God’s beauty and I too share this love! You see I thought I was doing this all alone but what I didn’t know is God had my sweet Uncle doing that same thing in Wisconsin.
Something about that slays me. I have said that a lot lately because for the first time in my life I am allowing myself to love and it hurts so good!
DO GOOD FEEL GOOD ANYWAY~Inspirations from my Uncle
DO GOOD FEEL GOOD ANYWAY
These are OUR principals that keep us moving forward
In the eyes of God in OUR own constitution with Him.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
Do good anyway for HE will repay you a hundred fold!
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous;
Be happy anyway. God loves to watch his children smile!
People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway. God already has! So can you!
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway…..smile and bask in God’s sun rays!
Think it over, it is between You and HIM;
It was never between You and Them anyway.
God knows it, You know it, and that’s all that matters.
Give the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give your best anyway. – Gunnar Timothy

THOUGHTS AND ATTITUDE~Inspirations from my Uncle
THOUGHTS AND ATTITUDE
Make this day wonderfully different!
Emulate kindness and positivity in a typical routine day,
Promoting strong spirit, and taking it beyond ordinary!
Generate goodness, and practice courtesy in a day where
Judgement and negative attitudes prevail.
See how You can walk within this day of miracles within
YOUR own foot prints in “changed thoughts and attitudes.”-Gunnar Timothy

SHOULDA WOULDA COULDA~Inspirations from Uncle Gunn
SHOULDA WOULDA COULDA
These words are NOT in the dictionary, nor do they connect us to our future!
Dangerous are these words, as they directly connect us to our past.
Since our present NEEDS to be written by us NOW, these words become our Stop Sign.
One big action that stops us from seeing todays miracles in God’s work,
Our self created action in “past thought surfing” – is a ride soo NOT worth it!
Surf in TODAY, and take a big ride on gratitude waves!!- Gunnar Timothy
