🤗 A Better Life ~ It’s Not the Easy Path, It May be the Better Path

by

If we hold our counsel we’ll make fewer enemies and have fewer regrets. When we tell others what they should do, little good can come from our wisdom. When we’re sure we’re right, it’s hard to be silent. If we value the relationship we may have to watch those we love stumble and fall. At times, the best we can do is to offer a hand when someone we love stumbles.

🤗 A Better Life ~ What’s on Your Plate

by

I’ve read the advice, “Stay in the moment,” or something like it, numerous times. Intellectually, I know what it means. Making the advice actionable is a different story. Yesterday, I asked myself, “What’s on your plate?” The metaphor made sense to me for living in the moment. I can choose to put on my plate what I want to do. I can choose to leave off my plate those things that create anxiety and stress. What’s on your plate?

🤗 A Better Life ~ A Good Day Getting Better

by

Pause for a moment, name five things that happened to you today for which you are grateful.

It’s 8:30 a.m. as I write this post. Here are my five things as of this moment:

  1. I took a long hot shower.
  2. My hot morning coffee as I read the news online (I had more than one cup).
  3. My health (I feel great).
  4. The music I listened to as I did my stretching exercises (Got to get the blood flowing).
  5. The bowl of blueberries I ate with my oatmeal (It’s a great combo). 

Wow, my day is only going to get better. It’s going to be a great ride. I’m holding on.
