MARCH 4, 2018 thank G. WE ARE STILL ALONG LIFE'S JOURNEY

SHALOM DEAR READERS:

AS WE MEET OUR TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS ALONG OUR TRAIN RIDE THRU' LIFE, ARE WE WEIGHED DOWN BY SADNESS, WORRYING, CRYING, KVETCHING, AND DESPONDENCY. THAT IS A CHOICE WE CAN AND OFTEN MAKE, ME INCLUDED.
BUT.....CAN WE TEACH OURSELVES TO BE HAPPY RIGHT NOW TODAY, DESPITE ALL, TO BE THANKFUL FOR BEING ALIVE, FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO LEAN ON SOMEWHAT, FOR G. LETTING US APPRECIATE THE WARM SUNNY DAYS AS THEY COME, THE BUDDING FLOWERS, THE DAILY MIRACLES WE WITNESS OR HEAR ABOUT?

WE DO HAVE A CHOICE -TO LINGER IN THE 'MUCK' OF OUR LIVES, OR TO SOAR WITH WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, AT THIS MOMENT, IN THIS WONDROUS DAY OF CREATION! IT IS SO EASY TO STAY DOWN IN THE VALLEY WITH OUR ACHES AND PAINS, AND IT TAKES DETERMINATION TO SOAR UP AND SEE THAT RIGHT NOW, TODAY, WE HAVE .........   EACH OF US CAN AND I SUGGEST TO DO, A CONCRETE LIST IN FRONT OF US OF ALL THAT WE DO HAVE GOING FOR US AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME. IT TAKES COURAGE TO DO THIS AND TO STAY IN A MORE UPBEAT MOOD AND TEMPO.

I , FOR ONE, TEND TO FALL DOWN WHEN THINGS ARE DIFFICULT. BUT I AM TRYING NOW TO DAILY SAY 'THANK YOU, G' FOR MY RISING TODAY, FOR SEEING THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD, DESPITE ITS VERY UNPLEASANT HAPPENINGS . WHAT DO WE SAY
