Yesterday morning I thought about all the heartaches that come with just being human. Right now someone is burying a loved one, someone is losing a job, someone is asking for a divorce, someone just failed a test, someone didn't make the team, someone is giving up. With so much pain and hurt emanating into the air, how can any rays of sunshine and hope peek through? And yet, they do peek through whenever we laugh, smile or pray for another person.
For today, I am asking myself what am I doing to add more sunshine to my life and the lives of others. What kind word can I say to myself? What smile can I share with someone else?
What about you? What is the emotional forecast in your world? What clouds are distorting your view?

ReplyDeleteThe other day I was on the train with a young woman who was in a wheel chair that was more like a chaise lounge on wheels. She had broken both of her legs. She was alone taking care of her business of going to Grady for a check-up, then going to get milk vouchers for her baby. She had a very pleasant attitude,and had all of us around her laughing. I held such admiration for her and thought to myself that if she can do all of this without use of her legs, I have no excuse for taking care of the things I need to do to lose weight. This woman unclouded my vision. I am going out of town this week, so I'm not going to exercise ouside of being on my feet everyday to train. What I am committed to do is to continue with my healthy eating. I ate out yesterday and had a salad and a crab cake. I felt really good about ordering healthy food at a restuarant. Yea, me.
ReplyDeleteHey, Donna, how's it going this week? What self-encouraging word are you saying to yourself today?
