Getting Back on Track

Watching my cat run around I realized he was teaching me something.
He will start running toward the food, but anything that catches his attention along the path
he stops to enjoy it or either dismiss.. He then returns to the path. Oh, and then once again something distracts his attetnion. He is off track, then back on. This is the journey of life, we get off the path, or journey, then we get right back on the path. Often folks get a bit frustrated with themselves when they get off track. We forget to be flexible, we can get off track, out of balance then get right back on the path. Our animals teach us alot. So, stop watch your pets and see what they are teaching you. They eventually get to the food. They are going to get what they really need.

Holiday Movies for Balance not Stress

Holiday Movies can add balance to your life. They can bring joy and peace to family and friends.
The experience of going to the movie can be fun.

I remember when my children were little I could not wait to take them to a fun holdiay movie.
I just imgained the excitement in their eyes when they would see Santa on the big screen. I wanted to do all I could to make it fun. So bring on the candy, popcorn and cokes to add to
the holiday cheer.

When the movie was about half way over the excitement was in the people around,watching us instead of the movie. The childrren were up and down, laughing, fighting carrying on like wild untamed animals. What went wrong.

Well, maybe it was the candy, cokes popcorn, too much stimulation. Being out at 11:00p.m.
So I say to you, it can be a fun time for you and the family. Be intentional about a movie that does not bring too much energy to their little systems, not too much candy, coke or popcorn. Maybe even pack a healthy snack. Not as I did, but learn from my experience.
