the beat goes on

looking for a little inspiration today. from friends. from family. but mostly from inside myself. my to-do list has shrunk a bit, those easily attainable, achieveable things crossed off. but I should add motivation to my agenda. it is sorely lacking.

I am hurting a bit. some a self pity party. some for a friend. some for a family member. I have been talking to Him quite a bit these days. sorting through. weeding out. seeking. searching. asking. thanking. I get still. and think. and know. and wait. for good things to come. but I know that I cannot simply ask and receive. patience and focus and grace is the answer for me. but alas I am impatient. and unfocused. and all for saving grace. so I continue. one day to another. and wish. and hope. and pray. for guidance. for wisdom. for clarity.

I have a meeting tonight that I hope will give me some of those things. directly. indirectly. a meeting of creative minds. artists. doers. believers. the power of positive thinkers. I want that song stuck in my head.

'God respects me when I work; but God loves me when I sing.'
