The eagle

Now I will tell you a true story about an eagle.

A man once found an eagle lying on the floor. She was hurt and couldn't fly, one of her wings was broken - or maybe just very hurt, I don't remember.

That man picked up the eagle and took her to his home.

He took care of her for a long time. 

She, being an eagle and being used to fly, kept trying to raise her wings and fly...but for no avail because she was hurt, she couldn't fly at all.

So she remained on the floor.

As she was getting better due to the care the man, she began getting better and better and at last she could, she was able to fly because she was a eagle and they are meant to fly. The reason she was on the ground for some time was that she was hurt and frail. 

But she didn't give up, she waited till she was healed. She kept trying and trying till she could fly again.

She had stopped flying not because she was meant to be on the floor but because she was not well, but then, because she was an eagle, she was able to fly !

Along the years I have been feeling that I was, I am that eagle. For a long time I felt down but so many times I wanted to fly, I had the urge to be who I really am and tried to fly... but this broken wing didn't let me...and I didn't fly.

The amount of times I tried and the times I left the ground and believed I could ... but I fell down again. Sometimes I even was able to get up off the floor and fly a little and such nice flights they were but they were short because of the pain that didn't let me fly as I wanted. And I fell down again.

But I am a survivor and I'm much better and who knows, maybe my wing is healed now.

And no, it's not too late. I've been climbing this mountain for long so I will reach the summit. It's not that I took too long, it's that the mountain is really high. There were not lost years, were years I spent climbing. I went up and sometimes I fell back a little but I didn't give up so I will not believe that I can't get there, because I can !

Now I will make this eagle fly.

The eagle will fly !

To be what you might have been

It's never too late to be what you are meant to be.

This is been in my mind since December. I looked back and regreted that I could have been better or that I could have done this and that and suddenly I understood that I can be what I meant to be and decided that I will do many things that I didn't in the way I should have done. It's not late, it's the time to do it, the time is now.

Then I searched for people who began doing some thing not when they were in their tweenties but much later. I found these graphics about famous people who just did that.

It's never too late to be what you might have been.

To be what you might have been  !!!

So...

Just

Start

A fresh start

I decided that my moto for this year will be A Fresh Start.
Now I must say that for me the year begins in October and from there till January it's like a preface, a warm up and then in January it goes in full steam.

In 2017 I have been having in my mind the sentence: Make It Happen.

I will carry on with it this year but not with the idea that I am just continuing what I have done last year, I prefer to think about it as a fresh start with the innocence of the beginning and with its infinite hope.

Make it Happen

The Epiphany came and went away so it was the time to take the decorations out till next first day of December. I know that in many countries it's celebrated on the following Sunday but truly it happens on the 6 of January.

It made me a little nostalgic to take those Christmas things out and put them in boxes again but, on the other side, it's so good to begin a New Year, so full of hopes. 

2017 is a year of expectations because it's the centenary of the Fatima Apparitions. We will see what Our Lady has for us.

I am full of good intentions for this year. I have plans. I read some things on Goal Setting and Plans. I always do that on every beginning of each year.

I have my Goals ready and written and I will keep reminding myself of something that I found at Laura Casey's Make it Happen: Surrender your Fear, Take the Leap, Make it Happen.

Very good.
My words for this year are Hope but also Action. My motto is "Take Action. Make it Happen."

I want to be who I truly am without the fear of being it.

Step by step

Getting there

Each Day is a New Beginning

... and we must thank Our Lord for each morning.

Maybe it's this time

For almost a year  I have been away. Many things happened in my life and I neglected my blogs, my Flickr account, everything. The only place where I have been able to go it was my FB account.

Now I'm trying to get back again. Almost a year ago I tried to be back but I had not enough strength yet.
Now I'm trying again - I'm even giving some steps on Pinterest.
Maybe it's this time.
