Daily Gratitude: I am grateful to a Facebook follower for this comment to one of my posts. It is perfect! It’s something we should all live for each day. It goes along with no regrets. If you are proud of the things you’ve done for others then it will be difficult to have regrets. It’s also important to remember that there may be little things you do that you don’t even think are big that can make all the difference to someone who is having a down day. Sometimes it can change a person’s life! Be proud. Keep track of the things you do for others. Pass it down. Share it on Facebook- it will give others ideas as to what they can do. Read this quote every day!

Daily Gratitude: When you’ve spent most of your life without control of your emotions and being regulated by them, this is an important quote. It’s taken me a long time to realize that you will feel all these emotions and they will come and go but that it’s then my responsibility to decide which ones, if any, I will act on. It goes along with the fact you can choose to be happy. I never understood that until recently. I have also learned that you need to feel all your emotions and let them flow through you. If you continue to suppress them because either you’re afraid of them or don’t know how to deal with them, they will eventually come out. They will manifest in your body as disease. I have told you all about how that happened with me so I won’t repeat it here. Just know that I am the perfect example of that. So pay attention to the message in this quote.

Daily Gratitude: It never ceases to amaze me how some of the more complex ideas are actually pretty simple. This is another example of that. And Wayne Dyer is so good at helping us understand. When we talked about change we addressed this too. If we look at something as a good thing instead of “why not keep doing things the way we used to?”, it makes you excited to see what’s going to happen next. There is a preschool and also older grades where I used to walk every day. They had a nice big grassy area where the kids could play. Then a few months ago, they closed off that grassy area and started some sort of new building. Initially I was disappointed wondering why they were doing this and why they couldn’t leave things the way they were. Then I caught myself and I found myself wondering what they were building and would it replace what they already have or just add to it. I became excited to walk by and see how it was progressing. I had to make the effort to see things differently but it was worth it. The excitement I created for myself far outweighed the grouchy mood I was in when I wanted it to stay the same. Like they were going to listen to me anyway. Take some inventory in your life and see if there’s at least one area you can try this out in. I think you’ll be as happy as I was.
