Each day we awaken is another gift from God. What we do with each day is up to us. Do we want to improve ourselves and our relations with others ?
Or do we sit and dream of what could have been, what should have been, what wasn't done, what others did or said, or what they didn't do or say ?
Do we smile and say, let's see, what can I do today to make my life worthwhile, or do we dwell on the negative, and on how others have treated us ?
Do we harp upon how we wish someone would have done this for us, or that for us, or do we seize each day and make the most of it ?
Do things for ourselves ... go out and buy a new purse, or some other little luxury ; get our hair done, go visit a friend, have lunch with someone who's company you like, call someone who may be sad, or lonely, or send someone an e-mail, a Facebook message, or write an old-fashioned letter or card to someone who doesn't use the computer .
What can I do with this day the Lord has given me ?
I will try to be happy, to make others smile and be glad that they, too, have another day to do with as they see fit.
We can do something to help ourselves, our families, our neighbors . It doesn't have to be some grand, magnanimous gesture... even little things, a smile, perhaps, can brighten someone's day.
We can make the effort to find new friends, and remain true to our old friends, also.
We all can find joy in life. We have but to open our eyes, hearts and minds to find it.
Then, grab onto it, share it, spread it around .
Joy is contagious ! Rejoice in the fact that we are alive !!
There is so much we can do to be happy,
Why let everything upset us and make
our days miserable ? We need to stop
negativity in its tracks, and find ways
to enjoy life, every day. We make our
own happiness... or misery . Which will
we choose ?
We have so many blessings, but
sometimes we don't recognize some
of them. Remember to count our
blessings each and every day.
