Alone......

My Thought for this Day........Being alone is not always being lonely. Precious time spent in solitude is restorative. Don't be afraid of the 'alone'. It calms the ocean of life. It allows growth and alleviates fears. It is you and only you, and that is enough. I love to reside in my alone.

Today......

My Thought for this Day.....May you look upon this day with a peace that passes understanding, with a faith that never wavers in the storm and with a knowledge that life does throw curve balls to everyone. But most of all, may you find comfort that waits on those who call out and seek. And that, my friends, is enough.

But.......

My Thought for this Day......I believe 'but' is the most negative word in our language. I know, but......I did, but.......I heard,but..........you are, but. Sometimes we need to just sit on our 'but's', and keep quiet.

Reaction......

My Thought for this Day......If someone doesn't react to a situation in a manner you deem correct, what is your reaction? Indignation? Superiority? Don't flatter yourself so much that you carry the weight of their world on your rigid shoulders. For never, ever, do you truly understand the place in which they dwell.

Trash.......

My Thought for this Day.......Everybody needs an emotional Trash Day. It's the day you rid your mind and heart of the negatives. I challenge you to set one day a week as your personal trash day. Take 5 minutes and consciously throw out those trashy thoughts, hurts, emotions. You can't accept the good if you are full of the bad.

Two......

My Thought for this Day......Listen, Listen, Listen......sometimes we just don't listen. We tune out words; we tune out cries for help; we tune out everything, but our own voices rumbling inane gibberish in our small minds. Get off that selfish horse and offer someone a ride. Turn your radio dial to a station that doesn't only play your music. You have two hands....you don't need them both. Stretch one out to your friends, family, or a random person in true need. You have two eyes to see the world around you, and I guarantee it's not 100% problem free. You have two feet to carry you where you want to go, and your path doesn't always need to be The Yellow Brick Road. You have two ears to listen; use one to actually do just that. Have you ever thought about why God gave you pairs? Not hard to figure it out....one for you and a spare. What you do with that spare defines who you truly are.

Shallow.......

My Thought for this Day........Don't live a shallow life. Much like a shallow grave, it leads to predators. Be the deep well, full of those qualities that lend themselves to admiration. Not for what you have, but for who you are.
