Stop and go
Friday, August 29th, 2008
This was my first drive in California. Friends told me this was “normal” traffic. My body became tense. I wanted to go home and enjoy more rural, less traveled roads. Knowing this was the only route to my destination, I settled down, changed my attitude, took pictures, and enjoyed the chaos.
The way may include moments of stop. Find the intrinsic worth of such moments and then go with gusto. This is my flashback of good for today. Suzy Shepard

Renew your spirit with periods of respite. Find your get away and find your bliss. This is my flashback of good for today. Suzy Shepard

Stay on the path, sometimes
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008
The brine motes made pulling over a disaster. Beyond the motes was 159 square miles of rolling Utah salt desert. I decided to stay on the nice, straight highway.
There are times when you should absolutely stay on your present beaten path and not make creative moves astray! This is my flashback of good for today. Suzy Shepard

Her first purchase
Monday, August 25th, 2008
Today this child went out and made her first purchase with earned money from picking up plums in the backyard. She was delighted and didn’t want a loan or help.
Relish the idea of living within your means — even when it doesn’t seem possible or fun. Your expectations will breed success and lead to a happy, abundant life. 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.
