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. I drop a comment whenever I appreciate a article on a site or
    if I have something to valuable to contribute to the conversation.
    It is triggered by the sincerness communicated in the post
    I looked at. And after this post Today | upliftingthoughts4u.
    I was moved enough to leave a thought 😉 I do have 2 questions for you if
    it’s allright. Is it just me or does it give the impression like some of the
    comments look like written by brain dead individuals?
    😛 And, if you are posting at other online sites, I would like to
    follow anything fresh you have to post. Would you list the complete
    urls of your communal sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

    • Please keep in mind that these comments are coming in from world-wide locations, and English does not translate very well. I just look for the message and do not edit it. Also, I am certain that many of the commenters are using small keyboards because of the duplicate letters, etc. Sorry, I don’t have time to anything other than blog. Enjoy your evening!

  6. Whats up. Nice website. I wanted to ask, though, where did you purchase the theme?
    Or did you devise it yourself? I’m beginning my own blog site and am
    shopping around for a theme as great as this one.
    Thanks so much.

    • Actually, insofar as spam goes, http://www.wordpress.com (my host) puts all incoming messages into my spam folder. I open that to review the messages to either delete spam or put messages into the pending folder so I may respond to them. I do this frequently. Unfortunately, spam is out there. Sorry I could not help you more. Enjoy your day anyway. 🙂

    • This came into my inbox: Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin http://SEOOptimizationGuide.com
