Feel Good Tip of the Day ~ Don’t Waste a Moment Being Angry
Feeling hurt? Shake it off and move on. Don’t waste a moment on anger, retaliating, or ruminating, I saw a lecture where the speaker asked, ‘How would you react if you visited someone who was sick in bed in the hospital and the sick person made an insensitive remark toward you?” The speaker suggested most would simply blow it off and attribute it to the person being sick. The speaker suggested the person who hurt our feelings is sick otherwise he/she wouldn’t have made the remark. That helped me to let go of the desire to strike back or think about it incident. Try it. Anger isn’t worth it.
Photo for Today ~ Love The Children in Your Life
Children need our love
Children need to feel safe
Children need the strength a loving parent offers
Love , protect, and treasure
The children in your life
Poem for Today ~ On The Hills of Dawn
On The Hills of Dawn
Alexander Posey
Behold, the morning-glory’s sky-blue cup
Is mine wherewith to drink the nectar up
That morning spills of silver dew,
And song upon the winds that woo
And sigh their vows
Among the boughs!
Behold, I’m rich in diamonds rare,
And pearls, and breathe a golden air;
My room is filled with shattered beams
Of light; my life is one of dreams,
In my hut on
The hills of dawn.
Positive Thought For Today ~ Keep on Walking
“Without water drops, there can be no oceans; without steps, there can be no stairs; without little things,
there can be no big things!”
NOTE: It important to have big dreams and challenging goals. Once we have them, it’s the small, daily steps we take toward our dreams and goals that are important. The steps we take separate those who do and those who don’t. Those who do set distractions and discouragement aside and continue taking the small steps. Those who don’t are easily discouraged and see the distance as too great to travel. Take small steps, one after the other. Don’t quit. Keep believing. Before you know it, you’ll have completed your journey.
Positive Thought of the Day ~ Chose a Life Affirming Attitude
“What you are thinking, what shape your mind is in, is what makes the biggest difference of all.”
NOTE: The fame psychiatrist, Viktor Frankl said that the one freedom no one can take from us is our right to chose the attitude we take in any situation. We can choose to be defeated. Or, we can choose to never give up. We can choose to wallow in self pity. Or, we can chose to hold our head high, stand tall, and face our challenges with courage.
Poem for Today ~ Trees
Trees
Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Feel Good Tip of the Day ~ Letting Go of Illusions
When we let go of illusions we free ourselves and no longer have to defend something that doesn’t exist. When we are free of illusions we become free to pursue all that is true, good, and lasting. It takes heaps of courage to acknowledge one’s illusions. Those who have the courage to do so know the freedom it gives.
