Hi Folks!

Happy Tuesday to each of you!  How have you been doing?  I hope you're all well and busy, but not too busy to take a few minutes for yourself each day.  Having time alone is very important.  We all need to just stop, be still and quiet for a few minutes each day.

It's surprising how many people keep themselves so busy on purpose.  They don't want to have the time to truly stop and think about how they could improve their lives, in one way or another.  They let unhappiness and problems overshadow their lives. 

We all have so very much to be thankful for, every day.  Waking up to enjoy another day with your family is a blessing, which is mostly taken for granted every day.  Having enough food to eat is a blessing.  No you may not like everything that you are given to eat, but it does keep your stomach full and that's a blessing.  If you have enough money to pay your bills and a home to live in, that's a blessing.  No, it may not be the home you'd like, and you may not have a lot of the things you would like to have, but you are blessed, anyway. 

This world would be a better place in which to live if we all just accepted what we do have and stopped always wanted more.  I've said this before and it is good to repeat it:  Happiness doesn't come from exterior things or money.  It comes from inside yourself! 

So, knowing that, you need to take time to be alone and thank God for all the many blessings in your life.  Remember:  things could always be worse.  So, just count your blessing!
