What a difference life is when simply choose to be positive and show gratitude for everything you have.  It's like a whole new world opens up for you.  Just find something positive in everything and it changes your whole outlook on things.  Like the saying goes, "Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at will change".  Inspiring words to live by.

Thank you God for this day!  I will try to make each moment of this day the best moment of my life.

Another fabulous day.  Even though its raining out, it's still a wonderful day.  Waking up at 4:00am.  Silent meditation and prayer.  Hit the gym at 5:30am.-6:45am.  Work at 8:00am.  Feeling great.  Feeling the joy and happiness in the smallest of life's gifts.  Said prayers for everyone at DS today.  Praying that God will comfort them in their time of need and take this depression away from them. Give them patience and strength to fight the battle and be victorious in the end.  I am truly blessed each day.  Thank you Lord!

I give the first 10 minutes of each day to God.  Some simple prayers of gratitude and prayer for all those in this world who are hurting or are in need of prayers also.  What a difference that has made in my life.   Each day seems to get better and better. 

I thank God for what I have right at this moment.  Both good and bad.  For it is in the bad things, that I always find some good.  His strength carries me thru each day.  I just can't lose anymore.  That's just not going to happen.  I feel like I"m in this eternal flow now and the feeling is indescribable.  Sometimes I'm so happy I want to explode.  I only wish everyone in DS could feel this way.  Truth is, they can, if they just give God a chance and open up their hearts to Him.  Such a simple, easy thing to do.  Unfortunately, they chose to suffer in their misery instead of chosing to live in His glory. 

I am so grateful to God for everything He has given me.  I have 3 great kids and a great wife.  My job is going great.  I'm in great physical and emotional health.  Mentally I"m just about where I want to be.  And I"m having fun again and just loving life.  Feels so incredible to write this.  I wish everyone could feel this way.
