Happy 2017! I want to take some time
to thank you for reading.
2016 graced us with abundant
blessings. True, that there were a few detours and unanswered wishes, but one
was always present. LOVE.
I stated reading (again) Neal Donald
Walsch’s “Conversations with God” and in the book, he wrote that “Love is the
energy which expands, opens up, sends out, stays, reveals, shares, heals.” He
also wrote that we “have been taught to live in fear, told about the survival
of the fittest and the victory of the strongest and the success of the
cleverest but little is said about the glory of the most loving.”
Because of LOVE, I am able to “focus
on the good” – a phrase which serves as a reminder in my happy simple life.
Do you notice that it’s becoming more
difficult to slow down in this fast-forward world of ours?
Do you make time to unwind, unplug,
write down why life is beautiful?
In dealing with life’s ups and downs,
there are 2 things my Dad taught me: (1) The Golden Rule - “Do unto others as
you would have them do unto you” (Matt. 7:12), and (2) “Que Sera, Sera –
whatever will be, will be.”
Sometimes I forget to take time to do
these important things. In order to remind myself I came up with a simple
acronym: TIME.
Be Thankful.
Imagine
something empowering.
Make someone happy.
Enhance your
life with something new.
Each of these actions can be tackled
daily if they are designed to be short attainable goals. Dedicating a few
written words each day makes everything seem brighter, provides a feeling of
accomplishment and will help guide you through your happiness challenge.
Together, let’s make simple happiness our mission in the next 30 days.
The following is a summary of the structure of this journal. Each day focuses on a different task of empowerment.
