Take a moment each and every day to appreciate the beauty that God has put in your life. It can be as little as a butterfly sitting on a leaf to a winter snowfall.
The beauty around you can calm you if given the opportunity. It can also give you time and conversation with your children.
Enjoy the beauty around you….
If you go around being sad all day and feeling sorry for yourself people won’t want to be around you. That certain someone who left you will also believe that they made the right decision.
If you really want to drive that certain someone crazy find your happiness without them. Show them that you are the one who is better off. When you find your happiness you will find the person who loves you the most… Yourself.
In the blink of an eye it will be next year. The time that you miss with your children can never be reclaimed. You can try, but you can never be at that soccer game you missed, you can never redo the birthday party you didn’t show up for. Time is the most precious gift we are given and that we have to give.
Harry Chapin’s song Cats in a Cradel was set to music after his child was born; because that is when he realized how important time was with his child.
Jim Croce’s song Time in a Bottle is all about wishing for more time but there never seems to be enough.
Weight the benefits of where you are putting your time.
The path that you are on today may not be your ultimate destination. If your current path is ending a dysfunctional relationship that doesn’t mean you will be alone for ever. It means that this current path is leading you through the storm towards the sunshine. At the end of this path you will head towards the right into the sunshine.
Remember you must walk this path before you find your sunshine again.
When you talk about your blessings you bring light into your life. When you talk about your problems the lights in your life dim. This goes for your friends also, if you only talk about your problems they will not want to spend as much time with you. Your friends want to see you happy. That doesn’t mean that you never mention the trying times that you are going through, just not every day or minute.
Let your blessings overshadow your problems.
Just because you don’t like what is happening in your life, at this moment, doesn’t mean you have a license to create Drama for others. When you create Drama for others you deserve the Karma that comes into your life.
If there is someone in your life who is criticizing your style or scene of beauty, never apologize. Do not diminish the person you are. Remember, the person who is criticizing you has their own issues.
If it touches your heart, it makes you happy. If it ignites your soul, it gives you a purpose. If it moves your spirit, it gives you life; therefore it is BEAUTIFUL.
To many times during the divorce process people want to keep different items or relics; sometimes it is the house, and other times it is the spouse. At times people will focus on a dish or a painting simply because it reminds them of a time or a place where they were happy.
What you need to remember is that those times and places will never be the same. The people will never be the same. The memories will never be the same. By holding on the the items you are holding on to your past. By holding on to your past you are not allowing yourself the opportunity to see the lessons learned.
Instead of bringing past memories into your future, take this opportunity to create new memories.
Some times a mom takes on the role of both mother and father. Today we celebrate the father’s in our children’s lives and sometimes that person is also known as Mom.
When you are struggling with emotional issues your life can begin to feel out of control. It is a time when you can loose focus of what is important.
When your life begins to feel out of control, take a minute for yourself, change up your routine. If you usually take a hurried shower, allow yourself a long hot bubble bath. If you usually eat your lunch at your desk, go an sit outside to eat your lunch.
Taking a break from your routine doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of money; sometime it is as simple as changing the route you drive home.
Take A Break….
