Since joining your Daily Inspirations, more frequently than not, you send me exactly what I need - to encourage me to go out on a limb and act daringly, to reflect a crisis I am going through, address a challenge, delight my heart or soothe my soul. The serendipity is quite remarkable. In Gratitude, Barbara-Joy Weston

I find that "happy" place again.

I find peace and comfort in what you write about.

I love what you wrote about today.

Your quotes and sayings give me hope for a new day.

I feel as though you were speaking to me directly.

I decided I could not go another day without thanking the two of you for sharing such a wonderful and insightful website with the rest of us. I LOVE your daily messages, and find myself getting excited when I know there will be an uplifting or thought provoking message from you.

This has helped me to focus my positive energy, and direct it more towards my daily tasks.

Excerpts from the Daily Inspiration messages...

Life is a Book of Riddles, with the Real Lessons Writ Small in its Margins.
   - jonathan lockwood huie

**  Smile.  Today would be a wonderful day not to take life so seriously.  Today may end up the way you prefer - and it may not.  Happiness is not about being a winner - it's about being gentle with life - being gentle with yourself.  Let life be a dance, and choose the kind of dance you want for today - perhaps a gentle loving dance.

**  Welcome the Unexpected.  Mostly, it is human to dislike surprises - often with great intensity.  Be open to new ways; sometimes newness just knocks on our door; welcome it.

**  Life is NOT "Supposed to be Fair."  Know that there is no single way that life is "supposed" to be.  Demanding that life meet our expectations is a sure fire recipe for a miserable existence.  Life is a game with no rules.  Life just happens to us regardless of our best intentions.  Our only path to happiness lies in being open to receiving whatever life throws at us - with Gratitude.  Have NO Expectations of life.

**  Today is your day to Spread Wing and Soar.  Fly Life on Free Wings, and Sing to its Glory.  Don't wait.   Do it Today - and again tomorrow.

**  Time, like life itself, has no inherent meaning.  We give our own meaning to time as to life.  Urgent?  Why?

**  Forgiveness is not a reprieve that we give to someone else.  Forgiveness for another's act or omission is a gift that we give ourselves.  We are the one who suffers the upset and the anger when we feel that we have been wronged.  It is our own blood pressure that rises when we hold on to resentment.

**  Forgiving others is a gift to yourself, given not because they deserve pardon, but because you deserve the serenity and joy that comes from releasing resentment and anger, and from embracing universal forgiveness.

**  Our "Rainbows & Butterflies" are the small miracles of our life - the little things that are so easy to overlook, yet so awe inspiring when we take a moment to notice and to pay attention.  Give thanks for the rainbows, for the butterflies, for all God's creatures - large and small, for the bright blue sky and the soft fog and the gentle rain, for the tree veiled in the season's first frost, for the baby's laugh, for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you."

Thank you for sharing with me this journey we call Life,
     - Jonathan
