Today

As I opened my eyes this morning, I greeted the day with prayers and a smile. It is so good to be alive!

As I age, aches and pains of the body are there. I am not as young as I used to be. It takes me longer to do what I used to do in a few minutes. Minutes can become hours now.

But the joy of life remains.

A flock of geese just flew over, honking all the while. The sun feels warms on my head and is bright. Colors surround me in many forms. It will be another good day.

How do I know that will be true? Because I declare it to be so.

Will there be obstacles to face? Yes. Will some of those have a negative impact? Of course, but I will counter it with a positive attitude. I know that what I focus on will multiply, so I focus on the good. The bad stuff will multiply exponentially, like feeding a Gremlin after midnight and then getting it wet (like in the movie “Gremlins”)!

What do you want to emphasize…positive or negative? It is your choice.

About upliftingthoughts4u

Life-long learning has been my quest always. There is so much in the world that brings us down. Like the old song says: "Eliminate the negative, Accentuate the positive..." Life, Love, Truth, Peace, Beauty, Laughter, Light, Joy = All these and more need to lift our spirits so we can soar. Daily wear and tear affects us all. Each one needs to take the time daily to look beyond the problems in our lives so we may find the solutions needed. I wish to use all my lessons learned to share uplifting thoughts with you. Come join me in trying to make this world a better place... :-) I have been happily married to author and poet W. Foster Welborn for 29 years. (His blog is URL: www.wfosterwelborn.com = RSS Feed is: www.wfosterwelborn.wordpress.com) He has 6 books on Kindle and 2 in print. I am his editor/typist. I currently have 4 more books that are in my finishing process. Watch for them!

  4. I am really enjoying the theme/design of your web
    site. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues?
    A few of my blog visitors have complained about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera.
    Do you have any recommendations to help fix this issue?

    • After lots of comments about how well my IE works and checking it out myself, I found that the problem is on their end – their device or provider. I tell them that and ask them to go directly to my URL (and/or RSS Feed) directly and check out if it is still doing it. Enjoy your day!

  15. Heya this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs
    use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually
    code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding
    skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.

    Any help would be enormously appreciated!
