Each of these new days is an opportunity to make choices. What thoughts do I choose to entertain and allow to linger today?
Will today be coloured by what’s wrong in the world and my life or what’s right.
What I worry about or what I am grateful for?
What is in the present or what’s in the past which is gone or the future which is just imagination?
I read the news and I felt sad about those shootings, and I accepted that and let it go.
Here are things I can change and those I can’t, and no point in lingering in the latter.
Today I choose abundance and thanks.
- I am healthy and well
- My son is healthy and well and doing what he loves
