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!

  5. Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem
    to grasp so much about this, like you wrote the e-book in it or something.
    I think that you simply could do with a few percent to pressure the message home a bit, however other
    than that, that is great blog. A fantastic read. I will certainly
    be back.

  13. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you
    knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet
    my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a
    plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you
    would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into
    anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your
    new updates.

    • Thank you for your compliment. Glad you like my blog. By the way, my URL is http://www.upliftingthoughts4U.com and my RSS Feed is http://www.upliftingthoughts4U.wordpress.com – Check out my archive. Apparently this particular article is out there in many forms, so you might want to visit the source for more information. My whole blog is designed with this idea in mind as awareness is the beginning of change.
      It is hard to find. If you are using wordpress.com, go to Appearance, and then Widgets – down at the bottom is Twitter Timeline. You will have to add it to your menu wherever you want it. I am sorry, but that is all I know.Enjoy your day! 🙂

  15. I write a leave a response whenever I appreciate a post on a
    site or if I have something to contribute to the conversation.

    It is caused by the fire communicated in the post I read.
    And on this article Today | upliftingthoughts4u. I was actually moved enough to drop a comment 🙂
    I do have a few questions for you if you usually
    do not mind. Could it be just me or do a few of these responses look like they are written by
    brain dead individuals? 😛 And, if you are
    writing at additional social sites, I’d like to follow anything new
    you have to post. Could you make a list every one of your social pages like
    your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

      As to the comments, they are coming in from world-wide locations, and English does not translate very well. I do not correct it. I just look for the message. Could you do the same. Sorry, I don’t have time for anything else but my blog. Enjoy your day! 🙂
