Rants Raves & Ramblings

          When a very ill person is monitored by an electronic device, the lines on the screen tell us he/she’s alive.  They dart up and down carrying the message… “Yes this heart still beats”.

          The ups and downs in our daily existance also tells us we are vital, performing individuals.   We take risks, we venture out, we give and recieve love, we sometimes despair, and  other times, we know great joy.

          When a heart patient’s monitor shows a perfectly straight line, doctors and nurses know the heart has stopped beating.  In the same way, when our lives are smoothed out and nothing ‘ruffles’ the surface, we have stopped living.

          We have avoided conflict and risks. there is no pain, no joy.  We have isolated ourselves, neither giving, nor recieving love.

          Which shall we choose —
                lifeless isolation, or active participation in life?

Choose to live Fully
accepting life on it’s terms,
in all it’s energetic vitality!

ATTITUDE  HELPS…

          Clinging to negative thoughts will hold you back and keep you from solving any ‘problems’ and/or getting back to “living one’s life”.

Decide to put the negative  thoughts aside,
and replace them with positive ones.

          Every situation, no matter how unpleasant or frightening, contains something good.  It may only be a challenge to grow, which in  itself is a very valuable learnng experience.

          If I develope an attitude of looking for the good in all things,  I will be able to see the beauty of the world, and my life will be enriched.  

     If I pay attention to the visual feast of Autumn, the welcoming hush when a blanket of new snow has fallen, the first apple, the music of a child’s laugh, and the many other wonders in life, they will bring me much joy!

          I can do this if I really want to,  anyone can.

          We can live ‘the moment’ and make the most of the good things all around us!

          TODAY I WILL…
                                                  find something to admire and enjoy!

BE  BLESSED  &  JOYFUL!
