What a gorgeous day to celebrate Mother Earth! I got a taste of the sunshine, the cool breeze, the rain, and the snow all in one day.The mix of weather left our mountains glistening, the blue sky scattered with white and grey fluffy clouds, and the grass and trees fresh green. Take time to appreciate the planet we live on and all of its simple beauties. If you've never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom. Nature is the art of God. It's His way of expressing His love toward his children. Acknowledge His presence in the world around you. I love astronomy, and this is one of my favorite videos to watch right before I go to sleep at night. I lay in my bed, turn off all the lights, and switch the settings to full screen. Cheesy? Maybe, but it leaves the impression of peace and gratitude in my mind before I drift off. Enjoy:)
Recipe: A Blissful Reminder
Sometimes we become so consumed by our busy lives that we forget how to appreciate and be grateful for everything we do have. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves why we are so lucky and that life is not that bad after all.
- Retreat to your journal or diary
- Think of happiness and what it means to you
- Think of everything you've ever wanted
- Find the good in everything you had or have had happen to you
- Now write out a list of everything you have in your life to be grateful for: Memories, people, experiences, opportunities, objects, even life itself
- Refer back to this list after an exceptionally awful day
And there you have your blissful reminder.
