Lift up your heart and seize the good.

These trees were planted in honor of my mother. Campus visitors enjoy her legacy.
Someone will pass you today and enjoy the precious legacy left by your very presence. This is my flashback of good for today. Suzy Shepard

Traveling home from long vacations, my children had contests to be the first to see the arch. ”I see the arch!” one would shout. Now I come home alone. The kids are all grown up and gone.
Cherish good memories even though they bring some longing for the “good times”. I see the arch! Do you? This is my flashback of good for today. Suzy Shepard
As I sat waiting for the movie to start, a young girl arrived and carefully placed her doll in the seat near mine. Part of the child’s joy was Kit Kittredge — the movie. Part was sharing the experience with her doll.
Remember those times when you used your imagination to bring great comfort and joy into your life. Do it again. This is my flashback of good for today. Suzy Shepard
This is my favorite place on earth — Piney Lake across from Vail Mountain, Colorado.
Can you see the mountain’s reflection in the lake? The brain is like this water. Your anterior cingulate cortex mirrors the pain you see in others. The human tendency is to unwittingly re-act. But you can act with wisdom. This is my flashback of good for today. Suzy Shepard
If I believed my Magellan navigator, I was now swimming in the blue waters between Biloxi and New Orleans. ”Maggie” doesn’t show the concrete causeway under my vehicle.
Some days you may not know how you are going to keep your head above the water. Be courageous. Though not always evident, you have what you need to stay afloat. This is my flashback of good for today. Suzy Shepard

I wondered what my ski slope looked like in the summer. Here it is! (Lake Tahoe, Heavenly Valley downhill summer slope.)
You might get on the right path at the wrong time. Not to worry. Change your downhill method, or wait for a more opportune time, and you will achieve your goal. This is my flashback of good for today. Suzy Shepard
My dear cat comes and loves me when I am still.
House cleaning, cooking, child care, gardening, repairing, doing the laundry, getting rid of things, working on the computer, and going to work are good activities, however, they may preclude being loved. Be still and stationary so someone can catch up and love you. This is my flashback of good for today. Suzy Shepard
The aspen tree is a study in resilience. Thousand year old aspen roots survive forest fires and send up new trunks. When traumatic life experiences burn on the surface, remember the aspen. Your deep roots will survive and grow into a life not wasted - a life worth living. You will have flashbacks of good.
