What a glorious day I awoke to this morning: the sun shining brightly, the birds singing, the sky a deep clear blue, the temperature a crisp 48 degrees, green foliage freshly watered from the recent rains..... God is good. It still amazes me...this beautiful world we live in. Even when ugly things happen, the beauty of the earth shines bright. When I think of this truth, I feel secure, content, and peaceful. That old saying, "No matter how much things change they always stay the same", is a great comfort to me. I never thought I would have to say this, but I am entering the latter part of life and as I get older I see things differently than I did in my youth. Life itself is more precious to me. I realize just how short life is and understand that wasting it is just not an option that deserves consideration. Each day is a new adventure for me, a new opportunity to do good, to appreciate the good around me. So go out today and enjoy the gift of life you've been given. Yes, I'm stuck in the office all day too, but I don't think of it that way. I am happy to have a job that I love, one that challenges my mind and my people skills and one that pays the bills. It is a great blessing that I try to never take for granted. My 'day' job allows me the opportunity to do what I love to do and that is to make wreaths and other floral designs. The Journey Accents is my 'night and weekend' job and my pleasure. To sum it up...LIFE IS GOOD! Enjoy it! Cherish it!
And always remember this...No one can make you feel bad unless you give them permission.
