Better to treat this day as a gift, wrapped in love and given unconditionally. I’ll tear off the ribbon, rip the wrapping off and open the gift and relish it as the gift I’ve been waiting for all my life. Yes, it is going to be a great day!

🤗 A Better Life ~ Signs of Light
I’ve lost count of how many have told me they can’t wait for 2020 to finish. They say it is the worse year of their lives. It’s true, it’s been a very rough year filled with pain, sorrow, and suffering for so many. Yet, in the midst of the darkness I continue to see signs of light. I see people working to bring healing, compassion, and loving support. I see more people taking time to work together. Yes, it’s been tough, but we are tougher and together we will grow something beautiful out of this. Stay Strong. Stay Healthy.
🤗 A Better Life ~ What a Way to Start the Day
I’m going to begin my day by being grateful:
Grateful for a new day.
Grateful for good health.
Grateful for a good night’s sleep.
Grateful for a hot shower.
Grateful for a steaming cup of coffee.
Grateful for the music I listen to while I do my morning exercises.
Oh yes, today is going to be a great day. Look how wonderful it has started.
🤗 A Better Life ~ Set Worries Aside
Worried about the election? Work for your candidate, vote.
Worried about catching COVID-19? Wash your hands frequently, wear your mask, and avoid crowds.
Today, set worries aside, the best you can. Play some music, sing along with the artist. Stay in the shower an extra ten minutes. Go to the coffee shop and treat yourself. Your worries will wait for you.
🤗 A Better Life ~ Change Happens
Things change. We change. We’re not the same person we were five years ago, a year ago, or even a month ago. Our experience changes us whether we want to be changed or not. Learn to roll with it. Make the best of it. Make change your friend.
🤗 A Better Life ~ Ask the Right Question, Get a Better Answer
What we ask, determines what we find. In other words, the questions we ask determine where we will go.
This morning I asked myself, “How can I make this a great day?” I’ve repeated the question throughout the day. It has been a great day. I’m going for another tomorrow.
🤗 A Better Life ~ Awaken Your Creative Genius
We are the architects of our lives. If we are awake and aware in the present moment our lives are filled with creative opportunities to shape our destiny and make a positive difference in the lives of others. Today, create a wonderful day for yourself and those you love.
🤗 A Better Life ~ Grab Hold of the Stars
Our personal experience/history can make or break us. No one is spared scars or stars. Let go of the scars and grab hold of the stars, let them carry you into tomorrow.
🤗 A Better Life ~ Finding the Peaceful Path
Every now and then it’s important for me to recite the serenity prayer (at least the first part). It gives me a good reminder of how to set foot on a peaceful path.
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
🤗 A Better Life ~ Pasta Sauce and Love
My mom made a great pasta sauce. She never looked at a recipe. After it cooked most of the day, she’d ask me to sample it (and cautioned me not to take a meatball). It was always delicious. There’s a lesson is life in her sauce. Use the right ingredients, sprinkle lots of love, and let it simmer throughout the day. Thanks, Mom.
