Thanks for the eye candy to dress up my blog…
Check out Megan’s post at her cool site @ Make Something Monday’s where she features Martin Klimas’ photography. “Klimas splatters colors of paint on a speaker and cranks up the volume.” The paint splatters from vibrations from the speaker and Klimas takes the shots.” See more photos and background information at Megan’s site.

Yesterday, while my wife and I were enjoying a fine microbrew at The Titletown Brewing Company, traffic started to pile up as the bridges went up and a ship almost two football fields long went up the Fox River. Thanks to the miracle of the internet, here is her story:

“Author Dan Millman says, “The key to happiness isn’t in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.” How true! Enjoying the little things and teaching your kids to do the same enlarges the soul and uncorks the wellspring of joy. Some examples are:

Sometimes I feel my purpose in life is simply to amplify Melody Beattie but her writing speaks to me in a way that nothing else does…
The key to life and power is simple. It’s knowing who we are. It’s knowing what we think, what we feel, what we believe, what we know, and even what we sense. Its understanding where we’ve been, where we are, and where we want to go. That’s often different from who we think we should be, from whom others want us to be, tell us to be, and sometimes even tell us we are.
— Melody Beattie, Stop Being Mean to Yourself
It’s easy to get hooked into other people’s expectations of us. Sometimes, it’s even easier to get hooked into what we think they expect of us.
One of the biggest traps is locking ourselves into a pre-conceived notion of ourselves. We can keep ourselves so busy living up to an image of ourselves that we forget who we really are. It’s tough enough to break free of the expectations, spoken and unspoken, that others put on us. It’s more insidious when we start telling ourselves to be what we think other people are expecting us to be—whether they are or not.
Look in the mirror. If you see a person who has been confined with a limiting image that doesn’t fit or feel right anymore, set yourself free.
God, help me let go of ego. Help me stop living up to self-imposed caricatures of who I think I’m supposed to be.
