"SAY CHEESE" - APRIL

THE STONE FACE - 206/365

love

cannot find

that which is hidden

behind a wall

THE BIRTHDAY BUNNY - 205/365

may you hop

instead of stroll

may you laugh

instead of titter

may the joy

of living fill you up

so you wish for nothing better

THE BLISSFUL DREAMER - 204/365

there is a

difference between

'dreaming of happiness' and

'being happy'

one requires the eyes

remain closed;

the other requires accepting

what is seen when they are open

THE UNILLUMINATED - 203/365

our perceptions

are sometimes based

on what we cannot see

THE VISIONARY - 202/365

a visionary

does not try and fix

what is wrong

but rather sees

what does not yet exist

THE YEARNER - 201/365

to long for what

'is not'

is to eliminate

the possibility of what

'can be'

THE OPTIMIST - 200/365

to see a 'setback'

as an 'opportunity'

one must first

be open to the idea

of more than one possibility

THE NIGHT-OWL - 199/365

to see in the dark

one must

not be blinded by the light

THE PICKLEPUSS - 198/365

be mindful of sorrow

as it can close the window

to the soul

and open the door

to disappointment

THE IMBALANCED SPECTATOR - 197/365

constant

observation

without

participation

can diminish

perspective

and disturb the

equilibrium

THE OPINIONATOR - 196/365

it takes a lot of

self-confidence

to share an opinion

and even more

to listen to one

THE SHMOOZER - 195/365

perhaps

the less one has to say

the more one feels

the need to talk

THE FLIP-FLOPPER 194/365

making a firm decision

can be difficult

when it is made with

the intention to 'please'

THE BLISSFUL FAILURE - 193/365

'failure' is a

'chosen' state of mind

it can either be the end of a dream

or the beginning

a successful adventure

THE CREATIVE GENIUS - 192/365

GENIUS

is found in those who

create the pieces of the puzzle

AND

in those who have the ability

to put them together

THE STANDBY - 191/365

to be ready...

to be willing...

to be available...

this is the true meaning of service

and the ultimate opportunity to experience love

THE DEADLY DOUBTER - 190/365

'doubt' + 'assumptions'

can be a deadly combination

THE DISCOMBOBULATED MESS - 189/365

sometimes

control must be lost

in order to let go

of what does not work

THE RECONSTRUCTOR - 188/365

one cannot put back together

that which no longer fits

THE VIEWER - 187/365

sometimes it's necessary

to fall down in order to see

from another perspective

THE CRITIC - 186/365

it is necessary to

dim one's own light

in order to see

the dark side of another

THE CONFUSED THINKER - 185/365

to embrace

disorder and confusion

is to enhance

the ability to join the

unpredictable together

in order to

create a new whole

THE JUGGLER - 184/365

joy can be found

in what is held in the hand

not tossed in the air

THE PREDICTOR - 183/365

to predict the future

one must be willing

to see the present as it is

accept the facts as they are

and let go of how it should be

THE CONTENTED STONE 182/365

to accept a situation as it "is"

is to experience "peace"

as it should be

THE IMPERFECT DECISION MAKER - 181/365

what appears to be a

"wrong" decision

may simply be an opportunity

for a profound experience

THE JOY-SEEKER - 180/365

unexpected "joy"

can be found

when "grasping"

no longer exists

THE THINKER - 179/365

constant thinking of

"what was"

is to miss "what is"

and the opportunity

to change

"what will be"

THE FAITH STONE - 178/365

to have faith

one must be able to

let go of expectations

and embrace the

reality of the present moment
