Today is the blocks with which we build. --Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
All of the animals except man know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it. --Samuel Butler
Today I am letting go of all judgments. I am releasing all negative emotions. I am quietly going within and trusting my inner spirit and I will know what is right for me. --Ruth Fishel
" Let us continue to search our own minds for the hidden places where we still deny love. Perhaps we learned loveless attitudes from our parents, or from experiences in the past. Wherever we picked up judgmental attitudes, they do not serve us now. They do not serve God or the creation of a new world, and serving God is our only goal. To serve God is to think with love. In prayerful request, let us give up all thoughts that are not of love. " --Marianne Williamson
Someone once wrote: "Happiness is always a by-product. You don't make yourself happy by chasing happiness. You make yourself happy by being a good person." The happiest people I know are people who don't even think about being happy. They just think about being good neighbors, good people. And then happiness sort of sneaks in the back window while they're busy doing good. --Rabbi Harold Kushner
#s 2 and the last one hit me today......just be like my dogs...to heck with yesterday, lets have some fun today
and all my life, I did chase happiness and love as tho they were "needing to be caught" however I see that they are all around me...all I need to do is reach out...give...be kind...do what is right and they come to me like the gentle breezes on a warm summer night....all I gotta do is ACCEPT them as mine by universal right
