spring is here

Found two eggs

sitting by themselves

resting upon the branches

waiting for their day to arrive.

Quietly waiting,

for their moment…

It’s the end of March and Spring is finally here. Well, in the northeast, it’s still deciding if it’s Winter or Spring. This season creeps up on me when I least expect it. The weather is still chilly and cold, but the days are gradually getting longer and the flowers are starting to come up through the ground. I get so bogged down by the cold and grayscale of winter that it take me a bit to get into the swing of Spring.

It is amazing how every year the same thing happens in Spring. Animals come out of their slumber and plants come back to life. Our bodies start to get into better moods after the last freeze, and we can start enjoying the outdoor sunshine a little bit more (albeit our skin gets sunburned in the process).

Don’t let Spring pass you by this year. Look around and appreciate this season of awesome rebirth and renewal. It will make you appreciate what we went through the last few months and what we have to look forward to.

Smell the flowers

Go fly a kite

Go on a hike

Sit in silence for awhile and reflect on the year so far

P.S. April is the best month because it’s my birthday month !!!!!

Man with the ideas

do something today

don’t delay

or stray away

from doing something with it

Ideas come and go so quickly for people. In an instant you can have a million dollar idea pop in your head and then five minutes later… poof… gone. Ideas and dreams are great to have, but if they only stay as dreams or ideas, it is a waste of time. I bet if you asked your closest friends, every one of them will tell you 20 different ideas that are cool and that would be awesome to do. “ I have this idea to write a book.”

“ I have this idea to open up a bar..”

They are always awesome great dreams. The only problem is that we come up with these ideas and never pursue them.

Next time you have a cool idea write it down and then decide if it’s something worth pursing. If it is, then do it. Stop overthinking or analyzing and wondering about it. A year from now you will be so excited and happy you pursued it.

Keep dreaming

Keep pursuing your dreams

Never give up.

Rain, Rain, Go Away.

Early this week I wrote this poem. I love writing about nature and how it relates to us everyday. From using metaphors of sunshine or in this case rain and relating it back to our everyday life. I love using it as a muse. Well, here’s an inside look of Rex Felixx head when I was writing this poem.

Most of the time I love rainy days. i mean who doesn’t enjoy sitting on their porch and watching the storm clouds roll in? These past few years have been very hard for myself and for many people I have had conversations with. Chaos seems to be running rampant these days, and it seems that there isn’t much we can do about it. Well I want you to know that you are loved, and that these storms will pass soon enough. Remember never give up on life and never feel worthless. You were made for greatness and I want everyone who reads this to know that. Forget all the chaos and know that simple fact.

You have worth.

You have value.

You are awesome!

Keep on holding on and strengthening that foundation, because when your current storm in life passes by remember another is waiting around the corner. It’s better to be prepared than be left out in the cold.

With Love,

Rex Felixx

P.S If you ever need to talk let me know.

Surprise!

I enjoy nothing more than to hand out gifts to make people feel joy. Whether its paying the person behind me in line for their coffee at Starbucks. Or finding a green Sasquatch driving a monster truck t-shirt from a thrift shop to surprise a friend with. The elation it brings is amazing. Physical gifts giving is awesome in it’s own right. However many of us don’t realize that we all have gifts and talents that we can share everyday but we choose to bury them deep, and hide them away. I’m not sure if its pride or the feeling that recipient won’t like it. A smile to a stranger can help them through a rough patch in that moment. Listening intently to a friend in need while drinking some beers at happy hour. Handwriting a letter to mail to your family who lives far away. Singing a song to old Nana, Dorothy McShaw. We all have so many talents and gifts to share in our own way. Come to think of it, maybe the world would be a much better place, if we just shared our gifts for good, and try to bring joy out of people every single day.
