The Greatest Gift

It’s more important than money, a job, or even love.  Its the most important thing.  Without it we have nothing – literally. Its our health. Take that moment to exercise, or to have a peaceful and relaxing cup of coffee on the porch.  Whatever you need for your mental and/or physical health – do it!

I told this recently to my brother who had a heart attack a few months ago, and he argued back that he was tired of hearing about people who take care of just themselves, because then he is the one who ends up needing to help them all.  I agreed that some people take it to far, and we all do need help from time to time.  After hearing the stress in his voice, I reminded him that if he didn’t start taking care of himself, he wouldn’t be around to take care of anybody…  take care of yourself first, so that you can take care of others.

My mother is 70 years old, works, travels the world, and is always positive, happy and upbeat; and she shows no signs of stopping. What a gift she is giving me by taking care of herself, so that I don’t have to…

I’m sure you have at least one family member who you take care of that you wish would of taken care of themselves.  Use that memory if you have to, so that you don’t feel guilty, of how taking care of yourself is really the greatest gift you can give to those you love.

Take Action

Wouldn’t it be great if we could just push a button and have every thing that we want. Weight loss – push here!  A fabulous lover – push here!  A new job – push here!  In some cases, pushing a button may work, if it’s an action such as, hitting the send button on an email that contains your resume for your dream job.  Achieving your goals takes action.

So what action are you going take today, that will get you closer towards making your dreams come true?

Love The One Your With!

Someone once said to me that Love is a choice, and being a woman with so much feeling and emotion, I disagreed with him. Years have gone by since then, busy running through my life, and now that I am trying to be still more, and have taken a step back to observe and listen, I think that he is right.  I watch and listen to my married friends, and friends in relationships, and I see that with just a change in perception, a choice, that things including feelings would be so much better. 

 

I listen to men and women complain about their spouse or significant other, about what they do or don’t do and how it makes them feel.  But what about what they do…  It is very easy a single person to see this, because we do not have anyone doing anything for us.  So women and men appreciate all that your spouse or significant other does for you.  If they bring you so much as a glass of water, or carry your dishes to the sink, or if they have a job that helps support your household, then love them, appreciate them.  If they stay home with children, clean your home, do your laundry, pay your bills, love them, appreciate them. If they are sick or unable to do anything but love you, love them, and appreciate them.  If you’re unhappy still, do not blame your partner, make changes to do things that will bring joy to your life.  Choose happiness, choose to focus and appreciate what you do have. 

 

If you are still not getting it, think about it this way… imagine for a moment that you are alone, homeless, and wondering where your next meal was coming from, really think about how you would feel.  Wouldn’t you appreciate all that you have now?  Wouldn’t you really appreciate all that the other person is giving you now, as a great gift?  Don’t worry about the little things.  They are just that, little things.  If you have a roof over your head, food in the pantry, and someone who cares if you make it home at night… you are blessed!  It is your perception that needs to change.  So choose to appreciate and love the one your with!
