Are You Happy? If Not ,Why Not?

It's me again with another challenge for you today:
Promise yourself to look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

That may be a little difficult, you may have to keep checking yourself when you don't really see the bright side - but if you look really hard I bet you can find one.

Today, we have near blizzard conditions - blowing, drifting, at times near white outs - so the weather is a bit of a bear, but I have a warm and comfortable home. It's a good day to stay inside and write - or bake bread or any of the household chores that make my home a place I love to be.

I'm sure when you look around you have a bunch of sunny just under the veil of "your crabby" or someone else's crabby exterior. Make a smile your umbrella and your rain will all turn to sunshine and rainbows.
Try it!
You can email me your results if you like.

You up for a challenge?

When you pause in Christmas festivities and begin looking toward the new year - I have a special request for you all - and perhaps a challenge - this is the first one...
1. Promise yourself that you will be So strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
If you think about it -- it isn't the thing itself that is disturbing you but your perception of it... What you chose to make of a situation. If you decide to just "let go of the rope," and not try to control it -- think of it as a horse you are trying to ride. Let's say he doesn't like ropes - so if you release the rope he calms down - I've heard of stranger things....so we will just let go and let God (or your higher power or whoever you trust to handle things for you.)
Try it -- it might just surprise you.
More tomorrow....
