CELEBRATE

 

Appreciate this day… Appreciate real friends . . .






"I arise in the morning torn between the desire to improve the world, and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."  {Elwyn Brooks White}






Good Morning to all. It’s a great day to be alive. The sun shines. I am filled with precious memories, looking forward to the future, living my dream, right here, right now ~ and I am filled with amazing grace, excitement and appreciation for this day …


Ah but what about all those I think about today? This very moment? Will others let it rush by, missing what today has to offer while waiting for the promise of the future, or dwelling on days gone by?






Sounds silly, and it is.

For today I must savor every moment. Today is all we really have. This day. No guaranteed promise of tomorrow. Hope, yes. A promise? Humm…






So with coffee in hand, I listen for the sounds of this morning. Enjoy this perfect sunrise. Smell the grass beginning to push it’s way to the sun. Birds chirping in the background. The four leggeds beginning the ruckus of their day. For whatever this day brings, I will bring to it my appreciation, a kind deed whenever possible. Loving thoughts and actions. I will celebrate this day as it unfolds. I will strive to create some good. 

Won't you join me? 
OK... here we go... get up! Right now, just get up from where you are sitting, stretch ~~~~~~ do it NOW, c'mon,
s t R E T C h.... raise your arms over your head, C'MON...
now lean to the right............awwww, that's good, now to the left............ ~~~~~ ohhhh, good .... now S t R E  t C H

I'll wait...

Raise your arms in the air and wave them over your head and C E L E B R A T E YOU!~!!!!`~~~ YAY

Didn't that feel great!~?~ who cares what those looking at you are thinking right now! heehe; it just felt good didn't it? C'mon you know it did!!!






We get out of life what we put into it. {See yesterday's blog/thoughts if you need a reminder}
Today I will pour all my good energy into this day.


Even as I review my schedule for the day, work looms large, I will take a good outlook to work with me. Put a smile purposefully on my face. Greet each colleague and stranger with cheer and kindness. And so, today will be wonderful because I have set out to bring about this specific result. I will look for the best I see in others. I will give the best of myself. Adversity will have no hold on me today. Today... this is MY day, my day to shine, my day, I own this day! I FEEL GREAT ~






If it rains on my parade, I will throw up my umbrella. Or better yet, toss it away and dance in the raindrops. For somewhere in the rain there is the cleansing the water brings. Perhaps I'll just jump in the puddles along the way while dancing through the day ~ :)


I don’t want to lose the message in metaphor, but it is a matter of choices. Making lemonade out of the lemons we are handed. Knowing that if indeed, this day brings some lemons, I’m OK with that. I promise that it won’t be all lemons, or instead of making a pitcher of lemonade, I’ll open a lemonade factory! See how easy that was? A solution instead of a problem. Am I painting a picture here?






It is all about choices. Our lives are formed by the moment by moment choices we make. Let’s chose to make good choices today. Choose joy, choose laughter. Celebrate today!


Squeeze every bit of joy out of this day. Create the day you want to have.






Today, I will spend my talent. Invest in some pleasure, find something funny in the day. Laugh. Dance to the music in my head and celebrate, really celebrate!


I hope that you too will create a wonderful day. Be thankful for the opportunity to invest in your life. Know that you are in charge of your attitude. You may not be able to change every outcome, but you can influence the outcome. You write your own script. This day take charge. Have the right attitude. If you can’t change the circumstance, change the way you feel about it.


Add joy to your life and the life of others. Use your talents. Be of good cheer, and most of all, embrace today’s possibilities.






At the end of my life, I want to know that I do not have even one drop of talent, one bit of goodness that I did not spend. One opportunity to laugh, to love, to sing, or dance left in me. For in so doing, I will have lived a good and full lie.






Appreciate today.

With all of that sang to me and to those who may read this, I appreciate the thoughts of many in the comments here, in the daily emails I receive... I thank you.

Chris, know that you are in the arms of the angels... the many many angels... and I know you will find comfort in these arms of many ~

Just imagine what you would do if you you never knew the word fear!

I read on the Facebook Fan page where a reader has her own page now... how about that?

No new news on the Apex NC challenge for the Healing Heartaches book club ~ ~ Updates?

Keeping the fires burning here for all those who are in need of the strength and the thoughts on the embers and on the winds.

I wish you enough,

Walk In Beauty
