Today

Jan 20

Posted by

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!

    Hi there. Only needed to inquire a fast question. I am just setting up my own
    website along with would choose to learn in which you still
    have your concept? Was the idea totally free?
    Or ended up being the idea paid for? I am unable to manage to uncover everything as effective
    as this blog, therefore ideally you’ll be able to let me realize.
    Many thanks. PS, our i’m sorry. British just isn’t our very
    first language.

    It’s genuinely very complex in this active life to listen news on
    Television, thus I simply use web for that purpose, and get the
    most up-to-date news.

    Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The
    text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Chrome.
    I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility
    but I thought I’d post to let you know. The layout look great though!
    Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Thanks
