The DISTRACTION from the WIND can DISTRACT YOU

      As we were heading outside to leave to do errands I was GREETED BY THE WIND and it GAVE me an INSTANT WAKE UP FEELING.

     And that was definitely a nice start to getting MOTIVATED to get my errands done today.

     I always make a LIST starting from everything that MUST GET DONE being DONE FIRST.

     Too many times if you DONT DO IT FIRST then something always happens that CHANGES WHAT YOU CAN DO at any moment.

    And if you DO WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT FIRST then no matter what happens you at least GOT DONE what was MOST IMPORTANT.

     What YOU DO is UP TO YOU so if YOU CHOOSE TO NOT DO IT then ADMIT that YOU CHOSE NOT TO DO IT FIRST so that is WHY IT ISNT DONE. 

     Your FIRST CHOICE should be WHAT YOU MAKE SURE YOU DO FIRST.

     What do you need DONE FIRST?

     

Usually I get MORE EMAILS just WASTING SPACE then.....

     As I was going through a couple of days of emails that I had ignored I found a FREE COUPLE OF MINUTES of FUN.

     Years ago I had signed up for an ESTATE SALE website that sends you MOSTLY LOCAL ESTATE SALES and a few OUT OF STATE ONES every week.

      I used to LOOK at a FEW but I had not been going to buy more stuff anymore because my house was full.

     But OUT OF THE BLUE I decided to hit the button to SEE pictures of things that were going to be on sale. 

     I used to always go to FLEA MARKETS and it would FEEL like a FAMILY REUNION as I saw objects that REMINDED ME about CHILDHOOD MEMORIES. 

    And as I sat COMFORTABLY in my home I could ENJOY so MANY MEMORIES as the pictures brought up many OLD DAYS. 

     NOW when a email from an ESTATE SALE that I am NOT GOING to POPS UP I don't SEE IT AS ANYTHING but FUN I CAN ENJOY whenever I want to read it. 

     I even get to ENJOY the OUT OF STATE ONES too because I LEARNED that just LOOKING IS FUN.

    WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT that even SOME UNWANTED EMAILS can BE FUN.

    LIFE truly is based on HOW YOU LOOK AT IT.

What are YOU LOOKING FOR?

       You might THINK that everyone KNOWS but the TRUTH is EVERYONE DOESN'T KNOW EVERYTHING.

      If you AREN'T TAUGHT about it then HOW WILL YOU KNOW anything about it?

     If you GET YOUR OPINION based purely on ONE PERSON'S OPINION then do you THINK you KNOW enough about it to HAVE AN OPINION about it?

     Just at least UNDERSTAND that SEEING ONLY ONE SIDE of ANYTHING means that there is a WHOLE OTHER SIDE that you HAVEN'T SEEN. 

     My friend and I were at the SAME PLACE and later when she was DESCRIBING to another friend of ours about what we saw I was SHOCKED.

     Because I SAW IT with her and what I saw was TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

     TEN people can SEE the SAME THING and they EACH CAN SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

     NO ONE was LYING they EACH SAW WHAT THEY SAW because that is WHAT THEY LOOKED AT.

     Did YOU KNOW that WHAT YOU LOOK FOR IS WHAT YOU WILL FIND? 

     If YOU LOOK for something NEGATIVE about today then YOU WILL FIND IT and FEEL NEGATIVE about today.

     If YOU LOOK for something POSITIVE about today then YOU WILL FIND IT and FEEL POSITIVELY about what HAPPENED TODAY.

     I FELT WONDERFUL when my son and I had both been together and WE HAD A REALLY BAD DAY but then HE REMINDED ME that at least we got your phone fixed. 

     HE KNEW that even on a BAD DAY there can be something POSITIVE THAT ALSO HAPPENED TODAY.

     So EVERYTIME YOU FEEL like you had a BAD DAY just STOP.... and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind then LOOK and FIND SOMETHING POSITIVE that HAPPENED today and SMILE. 😀

     

     

     

Just because YOU CAN does not mean that YOU SHOULD

      Sometimes you want something but you REALIZE it is TOO EXPENSIVE so you LEARN TO DO WITHOUT IT. 

     Sometimes you wish you COULD DO IT but you REALIZE that there are TOO MANY things that COULD GO WRONG so you CHOOSE NOT TO DO IT.

      Sometimes it is ON SALE at a great price but you REALIZE that YOU DON'T NEED it so YOU DONT WASTE MONEY buying something YOU DON'T NEED.

      WHAT YOU DO is UP TO YOU so you have NO ONE but YOURSELF to BLAME IF YOU DO IT.

     HOW YOU TREAT someone is UP TO YOU so make sure YOU TREAT THEM like YOU WOULD WANT to be TREATED.

     If you want to SPREAD KINDNESS then BE KIND so KINDNESS will SPREAD.

     If you want to ENCOURAGE someone then YOU MUST SAY something or DO Something  that can be ENCOURAGING TO THEM.

      EVERYTHING YOU DO and EVERYTHING YOU SAY is UP TO YOU and SAYING NOTHING is a CHOICE YOU MAKE.

     So CHOOSE CAREFULLY so you can BE PROUD of YOUR CHOICES.

     

Spring decor brings on a PEACEFUL MOMENT

     As the Flowers were blooming on my front yard I excitedly got ready to go shopping to find some trinkets to DECORATE with.

     I always find something special every year but I spend a long time in the three aisles just to ENJOY all of the DECORATIONS.

    Like I told the cashier as I was leaving I sure had a nice outing just ENJOYING LOOKING at what they had to offer. 

      And it was there to ENJOY FOR FREE just to MAKE YOU SMILE but I always find something special to take home to ENJOY at my house.

      Making YOUR HOME FEEL SPECIAL to YOU MAKES YOU SMILE and FEEL BETTER so don't let ANYONE but YOU PICK YOUR DECORATIONS. 

    When someone SEES YOUR HOUSE they will SEE YOU ALL THROUGH IT because of HOW YOU DECORATED IT. 

It was ROUGH but we can LAUGH about it......NOW

      It DEFINITELY was NOT FUNNY when it was HAPPENING but NOW we CAN LAUGH about it because AFTER the FACT it SOUNDS FUNNY.

      When you get SOAKED by the RAIN you WON'T BE LAUGHING about BEING WET but every time you TALK ABOUT how it HAPPENED NOW it sure MAKES YOU LAUGH.

       A ROLLERCOASTER makes you SCREAM but a lot of people LOVE RIDING ROLLERCOASTERS  even though they KNOW it will be SCARY.

       After they get back SAFE from the ROLLERCOASTER RIDE the EXCITEMENT and LAUGHTER on their face as they TALK about the RIDE you can't HEAR about how SCARED they were.

       A lot of STRUGGLES we will all have to FACE throughout life will BE HARD WORK but WE WILL BE PROUD of HOW HARD WE WORKED TO GET IT.

       The TRUTH is that LIFE is full of CHALLENGES and to GET what YOU WANT will take YOU WORKING HARD TO HAVE IT, 

       Have you ever HEARD someone COMPLAIN about what they DONT HAVE yet THEY DO NOTHING TO TRY TO GET IT?

      Well if you do then LISTEN to BE KIND but let them FIGURE OUT ON THEIR OWN that they NEED TO GET UP and DO THE WORK NECESSARY.  

      BECAUSE if they NEED IT then THEY NEED TO GET UP and GET R' DONE.

       

When you want a reason to SMILE just....

      Just WAKING UP EACH DAY is a REASON TO SMILE TODAY.

      As long as everyone you LOVE is ALIVE to ENJOY TIME WITH that is a REASON TO SMILE TODAY.

      You won't always get everything that you DREAM of but as long as you have everything you NEED then that is a REASON TO SMILE TODAY.

      When my friend had a car wreck she was very UPSET about it but then she REALIZED that even though her car was DAMAGED she was SAFE and that MADE HER SMILE.

      The TEAM didn't win the CHAMPIONSHIP  but they had WORKED HARD to be there so they were PROUD and that MADE THEM SMILE.

     If you WERE PROUD OF WHAT YOU DO HAVE then you WOULD SMILE TODAY.

     Your HAPPINESS is based SOLELY on your OPINION of WHAT is the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS you DO HAVE TO MAKE YOU SMILE TODAY.

     If YOU LOOK for HAPPINESS YOU WILL FIND IT and YOU WILL SMILE EVERY DAY. 

    Just ASK YOURSELF WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
