JULY HAS ARRIVED-SUMMER, FUN, TIME OFF, ALONG WITH OUR TRAVELS MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY ON OUR TRAIN OF LIFE. LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS A PICNIC, TO SAY THE LEAST. I HAVE DECIDED THAT MY ONGOING TRIALS KEEP REMINDING ME OF LIFE'S BREVITY, AND HOW MUCH I MUST FOCUS ON 'GRATITUDE', MY KEY WORD NOW IN MY LIFE.
GRATITUDE FOR BEING HERE TODAY, TO BREATHE TO FEEL LIFE, TO SOAK IN EACH AND EVERY GOOD EVENT-TO BREATHE IN THE FLOWERS THE GREENERY, OUR FAMILY MEMBERS, NEW BABIES BORN, SUCCESSES AND EVEN FAILURES..... BUT WE CAN'T CHANGE WHAT WAS YESTERDAY, NO MATTER HOW WE MIGHT LIKE TO. WE CERTAINLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS COMING IN THE FUTURE.
BUT.......WE HAVE TODAY TO BE THANKFUL, TO BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT WE DO HAVE, ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER CHANCE TO GIVE TO OTHERS, TO GIVE TO OURSELVES, TO THANK THE UNIVERSE FOR ANOTHER CHANCE TO HAVE SOME IMPACT ON OUR WORLD, HOWEVER SMALL AN ACT.
ALONG WITH GRATITUDE, I AM ATTACHING 'TO SMILE' AT EACH PERSON THATWE MEET. A SMILE CAN LIGHT UP A LIFE, AND IN TURN MAKES US FEEL GOOD TOO. WE MAKE OTHERS HAPPY BY OUR SMILE OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, AND WE ARE HAPPY
OURSELVES BY OUR ACT.
BELIEVE ME I KNOW THAT WE ARE ACHING AND FACING OUR OWN PERSONAL HARDSHIPS OF PAIN AND WORRY, THAT IT IS NOT EASY. WE ALL HAVE MOMENTS AND EVEN HOURS OF DISTRESS AND PAIN, BUT.... LET US PICK OURSELVES UP AS MUCH AS WE CAN AND BE GRATEFUL, AND RELISH IN THE NOW, TODAY THAT I AM STILL ON THIS PLANET TO BE SOMEWHAT HELPFUL, AND ALWAYS GRATEFUL.
I WISH US ALL BETTER HEALTH, AND A GRATEFUL HEART AS WE GREET EACH DAY.. UNTIL NEXT MONTH'S BLOG, G. WILLING.
