Marilyn,

This is great advice that everyone should practice. I am really good at doing the things listed here. I do spend more than 30 seconds outside (#5), I think the sun is so healing. I watch the clouds, talk to the plants,..... I have a neighbor that always comes out on her way to work & says "I wish I had time to just sit & do nothing". Well, she has no kids, she only works a few hours a day, & I can't see why she doesn't have time. Then again she goes to the Dr.'s for blood pressure, diabetes,  heart problems, & headaches. maybe she should make time for herself to just sit & be thankful!

Today Great Things Will Happen!

HI Marilyn

I thought you might like this!

Hi Marilyn,

     Hope is what we all hold on to. After all the opposite of hope is despair and who wants to hold on to that.

     Sometimes hope is all we have.

Thank you, my friend.

Your Good Friend

HI JR,

I am glad that you liked the article my friend! Let me tell you what I do every single day first thing in the morning. When I wake up I am always in a great mood, smiling, and then I say, "Thank God"! I  thank Him for another beautiful day, for always blessing me each and every day, and for allowing me to be here to do whatever I can do to try to better the lives of others and to be the best that I can be!

Think positive and be grateful to God...see how this will make a huge difference in your life!

HI Benjamin,
