GRATEFULNESS and LIVING A GOOD LIFE
For Everyone Who Wants To Feel Better –
Sandra Farrell
I have positive hope for my future and hope for the future. If I don’t count on me, I can never count on anyone else. Gratefulness is to know that you have your share, whatever that may be. Gratefulness is appreciating love. It is leaning toward the good, not the evil. Gratefulness is blind faith, believing in something you cannot see. It is circumstances that are forever changing and you know you can get through them. Sometimes it is helping others before you help yourself. It is inviting God to tea. It may be taking time to listen to God praying for you. It’s letting go after being bound, for a long time, by mental ropes and physical chains. It can be having new thoughts and making them exciting thoughts. It may be feeling one day younger and wiser every week. It may be having pure thoughts, standing straighter than you did 5 years ago or not having to worry about losing a special friend. It can be keeping a secret that is only important to you. It could be having hope and not quitting no matter what, (but coffee breaks are allowed). Gratefulness can be experienced as you limp through life with great strength.
You may have an imagination that could benefit others, share those feelings. Eating food and feeling nourished can bring positive thoughts and actions. Keep Sunday thoughts in your mind Monday through Saturday. Accepting differences in people will allow you to have a rewarding life. Let nature excite you
Love others while loving who you are. Stand on a chair and look around at life from a new prospective. Stay up there at least 4 minutes. Let a bad day be a microdot on your memory. Take time to feel your heart - then obey it. Take an elderly person to lunch. Push a child on a swing.
Each time you read this page write a journal entry. It may be any particular thought or feeling that is meaningful to you at that particular time. Be sure to date it.
Living with gratitude and wishing the same for you, Sandy Farrell.
