When you know everything in life is a gift you never take anything for granted, and you appreciate everything you have. Everything is or should be a wow moment, or a joyous moment of extreme gratitude. Or to make it easier to remember, be happy. I am so in the zone this morning. So, totally amazed by everything, that it is very possible this will AGAIN be the best day of my life so far, and I say thank you. I say wow, and yet it is only 7:04 am on a Monday morning. Wow! Already a wow on a Monday morning at 7:06 am. I breathe deeply because I cannot even for a moment forget how blessed I am. Okay, now it is 10:37 am. I was so wired with excitement I had to go on a three-mile walk. What gorgeous day it is. The sun is shining, and it was in the mid 70’s when I was walking. I have been home for quite a while doing puzzles on my phone and doing words with friends. Now I have my full attention on my blog. The point I was trying to make is think wow and not ow as often as you can. I know life can be difficult, but when it is wonderful the answer is to know it is wonderful. For instance, when you have a tooth ache you are well aware of the pain. When you do not have a tooth ache, are you well aware you are not having a tooth ache? People notice the bad and overlook the good in most cases. Therefore, happiness is usually out of reach. Start seeing not only the good, but the incredibly miraculous as you go through your days. Write down the wows until you develop the habit of seeing them everywhere you are going. The more you see, the better your vision will become. When I am at church there is a list published every week about people to pray for. So many of the congregation are having problems. Praying certainly helps them, but where is the gratitude list? The list that makes every day a Thanksgiving Day. Where is the gratitude? Where is the appreciation? Most people do not appreciate what they have until they don’t have it. When it is gone it is gone. For me, happiness is living in the now with great memories of the past. You can’t be where you are if you haven’t been where you’ve been. Use the days of your life as building blocks for your happiness today. Happiness is a choice. As I have said, “I have been happy, and I have been sad. I like being happy better”. Make today great. Make it greater than you could ever imagine, and then say THANK YOU for all the gifts you have been given. Bye for now.
