I have a friend some distance from where I live who was not feeling well. I connected with my friend via a chat venue and saw a remarkable difference in my friend’s features. My friend’s health greatly improved. I was happy. Hearing my friend was feeling better was the best news I could hear. If I didn’t reach out, I would not have experienced the joy of my friend’s recovery. Reach out and connect, you’ll feel better.

Something to Think About ~ It’s All About Love
Viktor Frankl in Man’s Search for Meaning recalled as he marched with other oppressed and brutalized prisoners in the concentration camp, ‘A thought transfixed me, for the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many pets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth – that love is the ultimate an the highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love (pps. 48-49).
If you’ve been loved unconditionally you know you feel safe, you know you feel accepted as you are, blemishes and all, there’s nothing else you want to do except return the love in kind without thought to one’s self. When we lose that love, we recognize a deep void that only love can fill. Love, love, and love some more.

Feel Good Tip for Today ~ Our Name is Our Identity
I don’t get it. Two people start talking and neither one asks the other his/her name. Our names are our identity. Our name is the tag given to us at birth. When someone says to me, “Hi, Ray, how’s it going?” I know this person is interested in me. One direct and easy way to overcome the loneliness and isolation we face in an increasing digital world is to take the first step and introduce ourselves to others who are in our social sphere. My formula is simple, “I see you often, my name is Ray, what’s yours?” Do it with a smile. You’ll make a new friend. You’ll have broken down a wall.
Positive Thought for Today ~ Focus on the Right Stuff
Don’t allow one negative experience to take control of your day. It’s not always easy, especially if one is the recipient of an unkind act. Giving into it and letting it control our focus is tantamount to surrendering to the person who authored the unkind act. Focus on the good, focus on doing kind acts, focus on loving all those around you. You’ll be the winner.
Photo of the Day ~ It Only Takes One Person
It doesn’t take much to light the darkness
One person who refuses to quit
One person who continues to hope
One person to be kind
One person who continues to love
