Just a short note –as the
last one was a bit of a downer-but days come and go, good or bad. As they say-an other day, and other view on
life-the past couple of days have been more difficult than usual. However each
day is new-and each day is the “first day for the rest of our lives”, seems
pretty appropriate for me now. As I often say and give advice, but giving it
and doing it is at times not as easy-but, putting a positive spin works like
magic: ”it all depends how we feel and react to the surrounding situation”-but
no matter how we try at times we do get overwhelmed-but all has passed, and the
sky seems much clearer.
I am blessed that I can
really apply my advice within a day or two to myself, so life goes on-once more I am
feeling great and on realizing my mission. The lesson here is life is a cycle-up
and down; never static on a continual movement; from yin to yang. One thing we should
always keep in the front of our consciousness; , that is gratefulness, for no
matter how bad life is and treats us , it can an always be worse.
Thomas Merton said : “To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything. He has given us - and He has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him. Gratitude therefore takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God. For the grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is what makes all the difference.”
