Fill your life with gratitude!
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
Melody Beattie

The benefits of gratitude....
"To live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we are supported by the world around us. Such a life provides less space for our suffering because our attention is more balanced. We are more occupied with noticing what we are given, thanking those who have helped us, and repaying the world in some concrete way for what we are receiving."

Let there be love....
Circle of Love
Allison Chambers Coxsey
In reaching out a hand of love,
To touch another heart;
A seed of love is planted,
And so the circle starts.
From that tiny seed of love,
A garden grows and blooms;
Bringing forth a flower of hope,
That shares its sweet perfume.
For every time the blossom,
Is passed from man to man;
The circle grows much stronger,
As they join hand in hand.
A never ending circle,
Will keep on touching hearts;
As long as seeds of love still bloom,
That were planted at the start.

I Will Not Die an Unlived Life
Dawna Markova
I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.
I will not live in fear

The Best Things in Life Are Free
Author Unknown
When we count our many blessings, it isn't hard to see,
That life's most valued treasures are the treasures that are free.
For it isn't what we own or buy that signifies our wealth.
It's the gifts that have no price: our family, friends and health.

It's the Simple Things That Matter Most!
Blessings
Lisa O. Engelhardt
When I think about my life,
And my blessings, great and small,
I know the things that matter most
Aren't really "things" at all.
For the bounty and the beauty
In my life that I most treasure
Are simple, daily blessings
I cannot count or measure...
My family tucked in at night,
A hand to squeeze and hold,
The miracle of watching
My children's lives unfold...
Friends who love me as I am,
And through their love impart
Courage for my journey, and
A glimpse of God's own heart.
The gifts of mindfulness,
to slow down and surrender
to a brilliant afternoon
Aglow with nature's splendor...
Life's radiance inspirits
Every day anew.
And everywhere I look,
I see God's blessings shining through.
It's true that I don't have
All those "things" I'm longing for,
But I have all I need to live,
And ever so much more.
God's simple, daily gifts confirm
The truth that I embrace;
Just to be is blessing;
Just to live is grace.

Let's Give Thanks!
Be Thankful
Author Unknown
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something,
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
Because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you are tired and weary,
Because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
And they can become your blessings.

Live Your Life to the Fullest!
Do You Live Your Dash?
Linda Ellis
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning…to the end.
He noted that first came her date of birth
And spoke the following date with tears;
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth…
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own;
The cars…the house…the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard…
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what’s true and real,
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile.
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy’s being read
With your life’s actions to rehash…
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

Inspirational Thoughts....
"Every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. Every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing. For when you turn a negative thing in your life into a positive, you gain twice. You are no longer burdened with the negative situation, and in addition to that you are strengthened by a new positive force."
Ralph Marston

Native American Prayer
Native American Prayer
I give you this one thought to keep -
I am with you still, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still, in each new dawn.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still, in each new dawn.

Some Beauty Tips!
Time Tested Beauty Tips
by Sam Levenson
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
