Ponderings #50

Dear fellow travelers,
  Just think you have been on this path with me thru 50 Ponderings!!  Now the question is how will life be for you and me  when I create my 500th?   That would be at my current rate in another ten years.
  I had started Ponderings, just for a very brief time ten years ago--ten years ago there were, to my knowledge, not too much coming over the Internet that was in the nature of personal writings, and or inspirational writings.  Of course the Internet was not at everyone's finger tips as it is now.  Now in just ten years, a blink in the eyes of the universe;  I receive multitudes of spiritual sayings, and motivational messages.  But I do still write my own, however, ten years from now---at its current rate, the number from others will have increased exponentially!!  .    and its All good. 
How the times are rapidly changing:  something to ponder.
  The world for me is moving at a much more rapid pace.  The days fly past, then they turn into months-- Winter becomes Summer and then Winter again. 
  However, on a slower pace,  I was fortunate this week to find myself sitting at lunch across from a beautiful young lady, who had just turned 21, my granddaughter.  She is a senior at the University.   Ten years ago she was in the sixth grade.  She has been a joy to watch as she has grown.   Where will she have her life take her in the next ten years??
  My life in the last ten years has changed dramatically.  I went in directions I would not have imagined, even twelve years ago.  However, there were some very sad periods when close friends and family members transitioned.
   But the  hills arose from the valleys and I accomplished many personal visions.
   A friend , many years ago, when I was working   and I felt really stuck and saw no hills,  told me, "Never give up on your dreams!"  but I couldn't see beyond my challenges then,  and now they are just a slight memory.

 Life does change,  change is the only constant.  And,  guess what??  sometimes, if not often, its for the good!!  In the end its All Good, even if it doesnt seen so at some point.  Imagine that!! 

 If you feel stuck, move, imagine the unimaginable, the good for yourself,  and start and keep moving...Don't ever give up,  be grateful for all things, you never know where they may lead you.

 Just imagine where you can be ten years from now!!

 What has happened in your life in the last ten years?
 Where were you then? where are you now?

 Everything that has ever happened to you has brought you to where you are now!! 
If you aren't on top of the mountain,  as my friend told me years ago
"Never give up on your dreams",  and do dream!!  Dream Big--start moving and keep on moving, even if you are on top of your mountain,  there is always something else to do, to create,  we are never done.   

Just Pondering on Power of Ten
