Begin.....

My question of this day....when you wake up each day, where do you go emotionally? Do you head to that corner and turn your back on the world? Do you mentally cross your arms and tap your foot impatient with what lies ahead of you? Do you pull that box over your head and refuse to see what surrounds you? Do you miss your reality both good and bad? We each have a routine that sets the tone of our days, a lightness or a darkness. I encourage you to sit, even for just a moment and live in the silence of your being. Ground yourself in the breath of life. Even 60 seconds of awareness, positivity, and gratitude opens a vista of possibilities, a relish for this very day, a thankfulness that we are us!

Toolbox

We all have a personal toolbox, full of things that we use to live our lives. This is a gift. No matter the need, you have received a coping mechanism. Here is the beauty and the beast. You either realize the value of your tools , or you live your days searching endlessly for answers. I hope your tools of patience, thankfulness, forgiveness and joy are sharpened and glossy with use. And your tools of anger, greed, jealousy and selfishness are rusty from idleness. Open your toolbox daily. Use it with wisdom and faith. It is an amazing gift.
