If you live the life you love, you will receive shelter and blessings. Sometimes the great famine of blessings in and around us derives from the fact that we are not living the life we love; rather, we are living the life that is expected of us. We have fallen out of rhythm with the secret signature and light of our own nature. *John O Donohue*

The FP Jetty has many memorial plaques on the rocks, as well as on benches. Some are simple, some contain photos and poignant words.
Happy Monochrome Monday
Source of all blessings, you bless us with moments in which nothing happens---moments of staring into the slowly-burning-down fire, moments in the checkout line or the waiting room. May I not fail to expand into that wide-open expanse of emptiness and pass on this blessing of a wideness more powerful than all the anxiety in the world.
----David Steindl-Rast
Whenever I feel down, sad, unhappy, hateful against myself e.t.c, I open up this jar in which I’ve put a bunch of notes.
On these notes I’ve written down all my blessings in life.
People, things, surroundings and so on, that I am very happy to have in my life, things that can be easy to forget when your not feeling your best!
This is actually something I would advice you to try aswell!
Write down what you are happy to see everyday, people you love, things you feel lucky to have achieved, things you’re proud of yourself for, what you’re good at, traits/features you like about yourself.. And be selfish when trying to find these things you like about yourself! Nothing is too little or too much.
It’s a great way to remind yourself of all the things you’re thankful for in your life, and remember that you have so much more to be happy about than you think!
It is way better to appreciate what you have, than to be unhappy about what you don’t.💜
Three Arch Bay is a private community in south Laguna and a spot to be revered!!! This place has the most beautiful and unspoilt gem of a coastline here in Southern California that I have seen. Thanks to a special couple that made it possible for me to get in here and photograph this view... :D I hope I did it justice?Thanks for looking!

I am trying really hard to count my blessings these days. I have had a challenging job change due to a merger and my whole life has been turned upside down. I will keep on plugging, though

Built in 1847, The Man Mo Temple is a picturesque tribute to the God of Literature (Man) and the God of War (Mo), both of whom were worshipped by ambitious students looking to succeed in the civil examinations of Imperial China. These involved rigorous systems aimed at finding the best administrative officials for the state.
These coil incense were "lighted" by worshipers whose names were written on a red tag hanging from the incense. It is believed lighting these incense will make one's wishes come true.

A ranch In Lillooet BC irrigating water from the Fraser river to grow hay, probably their third crop...heading there for Easter with this blessing in mind. May the Sun bring you new energy by day. May the Moon softly restore you by night. May the Rain wash away your worries. May the Breeze blow new strength into your being. May you walk gently through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life. —Apache Blessing
