I had a little after-thought today about yesterday’s journal. A little change in the wording of the title:

Create. Elevate. Commemorate.

I think that in a sense educate and elevate can be synonyms if you look at gaining knowledge and education as a sense of elevating both your consciousness and the collective consciousness. By uplifting others with what we say or do, we put out good energy into the world. And by spreading information about science, art, health, awareness, charity, corruption, injustice, etc, we attempt to inflict upon others the opportunity to create an outcome from these which can make the world a better place – can elevate our state of livelihood, our richness in soul and in spirit.

Anyway, it’s easy to view Mondays as the beginning of a long week. I was about to feel that way but then remembered that we can shift our perspective. I look forward to this week being more productive, diverse, fun, and positive than the last few have been. It’s been a rocky year for most of us but I’m reminded every day, or at least attempting to remind myself, how much I have to be grateful for.

This new month I’m striving to spend a few hours creating every day… And to create a better routine which supports that.

Peace and Love
