Affirmation for October 15, 2013: Things are Good
Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.- Marianne Williamson
Thought of the day:
We all know that sometimes bad things can happen to good people. And sometimes it can seem like the bad things just keep happening to the best of us. Too often this sort of thing can keep us from noticing all the good things we have in our lives. We end up staring at the one side of the coin for so long that we forget that the other side even exists.
Today, no matter what difficulties you face, take some time to acknowledge and appreciate the good things. Take charge, and take ample time to bring joy into your life.
Have a good day!

\"When joy Kills Sorrow\"- Bela Fleck
Timely post for me. My mom passed last week in a sudden and tragic accident. Now my 87 year of dad is coming to spend several months with me.
But I seem to be in a positon to help my father with his greiving and possibly help myself at the same time.
3 years ago I began this dark trip down situational depression caused by an unexpected divorce. I immediately herniated a disk in my spinal column right above a spinal fusion I had to have for a fractured vertebrea. I was cutting firewood trying to make myself physically exhusted.
This past June I broke both my arms in a bicyce race, and the right arm is still a possible for plates and screws....
Now I lost my mom (mom\'s are special) and get my father living with me. And strangley enough I think we can both benefit from this tradegy.
