Today's Gift
Today's Gift
Celebrate your life and
hear your spirit sing. -- Elisabeth L.
"What's to celebrate?" some people ask. We all get
our fill of the cynics. Their negativity can weigh down our spirits. But we
don't have to let them control how we see our lives or theirs. To keep our own
perceptions positive, it helps to detach from the naysayers. We will improve our
chances if we consciously focus on gratitude for even the tiny blessings rather
than on whatever might be wrong.
Becoming grateful is the strongest, safest means of
feeling good now that we are abstinent. Not only does it readily alter our mood,
but it changes our perspective on every detail of our lives. To be thankful
rather than "thankless" is a small price to pay for unqualified happiness
coupled with serenity.
We've all known people who radiate a singing spirit.
They love life, themselves, and others. We seek out their company. We can be
like those people for the travelers sharing our journey. Let's do it!
I will practice gratitude today and be a blessing
in everyone's life.
From the book A Woman's Spirit by Karen Casey
