A Daily Sight That Helps Keep Me Balanced!
Every morning when I awake …
I have to believe that I am living and enjoying the best days of my life.
I have to believe I am where I am meant to be.
I have to believe that God is greatly enriching my day with His abundant blessings.
Everyday I carve out my own now moments throughout the day where I can cease all activity and soak in whatever is happening. I take time to explore my inner self and give attention to all my senses.
I have been keeping a journal of my delightful times so that I can look back and reflect on them everyday. This allows me to refuel my spirit and to get some kind of perspective about where I should be. Gaining some reflection about what is going on in my life. It also allows me to realize that happiness is an acquired characteristic and reflecting on happy times is a first step in preparing myself to be happy throughout the day and possibly the remainder of my life.
Everyday I try to remember and to savor the long forgotten passions I use to have. I try to imagine them happening even if they were sprinkled with moments of despair. I am seeking a balanced life because I know it will not always be about picnics on sunny days. Although when I prepare for the ants and the rain, I can still have a pretty nice time.
Everyday I slow down and Breath. I try to take time to listen to the steady rhythm of my heart. I enjoy giving thanks for all that I have. I Like being present to being alive to enjoy the moment I am experiencing. In the quiet times of my reflections, I give thanks and reflect on what is important to me.
Everyday I try and resolve to keep my arms and my heart and soul and spirit open. I like to believe blessings are manifested in the unimaginable ways. Including those blessings through friends and through the opportunities I may have to dream the possible.
Everyday I try to take 30 minute walks. During my walks I try to identify all that is going on around me by fully engaging all my senses. I allow myself to feel the air on my face, to listen to the choir of sounds made by man and nature.
I try and view natures tapestry of colors and its panoramic views. I breathe in the aroma of sense of nature. This is able to tell me I am alive and all is well with me. There is nothing on television or elsewhere that can ever compare to these natural gifts.
Everyday I commit to putting God first. He is the force and super natural unseen that keeps my life in balance. These are my daily habits as I go about my day. They allow me more than enough time to do all the things I need to do.
My LIFE is good!! My Life’s journey, as someone dear to me reminds me, is that I am more than enough and that I am doing more than enough.. …
