Tell Me What You Love

"I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains"
Anne Frank

As I was scrolling on a Social Media site, minding my own business, I noticed a trend, people asking others what they hate. Really? We get one life. One life to love as much as we can. Should hate be our focus? Can you list all of the things you love? Despite all that is going on in your life, negative or positive? Write that list. Talking or writing about all that you hate, brings more of what you hate, to you. Don't believe me? Have you ever had a really bad morning? Where everything went wrong? You woke up late? stubbed your toe? Burnt toast and nasty coffee? And if you keep focusing on these things, your whole day is ruined. But when you change your focus(Hopefully on something positive)your whole day can and WILL change. So it makes me wonder, why would people want to write a list about all that they hate?
Why encourage that type of thinking and feeling? I believe it comes down to this: There are people in the world who love misery. They really do see the glass half empty instead of half full. They love misery and they want company. That's it. No fancy words or deep conversations. They love misery. Do you want to be in that group? Is that the direction you are trying to go to? Again, the big question is, can you write down what you love? And if you can, are you able to make these things your focus?  Always remember: When things go wrong, they can always be made right. All it takes is one positive thought to turn your whole day around. That is how strong a positive thought is! There is a quote that says "Positive people don't believe that the world is perfect. They just choose to see the imperfections and work with them." That's it. See the beauty that surrounds you. See it, appreciate it, and write your list of all that you love. Post it where you can see it and add on daily. This is how you learn gratitude. This is how you learn to love the life that you were given. 
Wishing you peace and love... but mostly, Peace.

When You Want Better

" There are some things in this world you rely on, like a sure bet. And when they let you down, shifting from where you've carefully placed them, it shakes your faith, right where you stand." S. Dessen I thought I had shed all of my expectations. I really thought I had stopped expecting things from people...I lied. And I can't tell you how vexed I am about this(I love that word vexed!). I don't believe my expectations were high, but I still had them. I don't ask nor expect smiles from people every day. I don't expect money or kind words from strangers. Heck, I don't even expect that from family. But, I do expect Decency, with a capital D. Did you just say that's even asking too much? Why? Why is it that we, as Human Beings, can't expect people to be decent? I didn't say kind; Decent. There is a difference. I will use this as an example, picture this: You are walking into the grocery store and someone is walking in front of you. They get ...

Be Ever So Humbled

I am a prideful person. I have never denied it and I have learned, through trial and error, to ask for help. To write about it is even harder! But I had a one-woman intervention and this is part of my "therapy." As some of you know, at least the ones that follow my blogs, this past Summer was an eye-opener. My health was out of control and the pain my body was, sometimes still is in, was something I couldn't control...or so I thought. To be a Fitness Professional, to be a Woman that is used to being able to move and lift at will, my body IS my business. How does this happen? And how do I stop this? I am not going to go into the lurid details of all of my symptoms. This isn't a blog for me to gripe. This is all about me trying to help someone, anyone who might be in pain right now. Steps to help all of us lessen our pain. Here is my disclaimer: This is not a cure for getting rid of the swelling. What I do for myself, might NOT help you. Any autoimmune disorder needs to...

Love, in all its Glory

I read this comment earlier: " I loved too much." Why are you blaming yourself for loving? Why do we do that? One of my Dear, Bestest:) Friends jumped down my throat yrs. ago when I said to them: " You love too hard! That's why you are hurt now." the response was swift and it went something like this: " If you don't love with ALL you have, after you say  you are in love.. then what is the point? You are just wasting time." And he was and still is right. Don't blame yourself for this person not being ready to receive the gift of your Love. They just weren't ready. Or maybe you just weren't ready for each other. Don't lock yourself away because someone didn't recognize the gift of...You.   Wishing everyone ALL the Love their hearts and hands can hold.
