"Any day I'm vertical
is a good day"
...that's what I always say.
If you ask me,
"How are you?"
I'll answer, "GREAT!"
because in saying so,
I make it so.
When Life gives me dark clouds and rain,
I appreciate the moisture
that brings a soft curl to my hair.
When Life gives me sunshine,
I gratefully turn my face up
to feel its warmth on my cheeks.
When Life brings fog,
I hug my sweater around me
and give thanks for the cool shroud of mystery
that makes the familiar seem different and intriguing.
When Life brings snow,
I dash outside to catch the first flakes on my tongue,
relishing the icy miracle that is a snowflake.
Life's events and experiences
are like the weather -
they come and go,
no matter what my preference.
So, what the heck?!
I might as well decide to enjoy them.
For indeed,
there IS a time for every purpose
under Heaven.
And each season brings its own unique blessings.
I would rather light one candle, than curse the darkness. Mother Teresa This "blog" is a present to myself. I pledge to try and post something positive about people, places and things, every day. Note: The keyword is "try".

From: GOD-To-You
To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: GOD
Subject:YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE
This is God.Today I will be handling All of your problems for you.
I Do Not need your help.
So, have a nice day.
I love you.
P.S.
And, remember...
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle,
Do Not attempt to resolve it yourself !!
Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box.
*I will get to it in MY TIME.*
All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours*.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying
about it.
Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.
If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair.
There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work;
Think of the man who has been out of work for years.
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad;
Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
Should you grieve the passing of another weekend;
Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children..
Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance;
Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror;
Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about,
asking what is my purpose?
Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance,
smallness or insecurities;
Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!
Should you decide to refer this to a friend;
Thank you, you may have touched their life in ways you will never know!
Now, you have a nice day,
God
