Waiting It Out

I think quite possibly this is the 1st time in a VERY LONG time, in which I am faced with another roadblock or "bump" on my path and I am not allowing my negative thoughts to take over. Maybe I am finally catching on from my past experiences, but I really believe that whatever happens will be for the best. It appears that events do take place for a reason. Maybe to teach us something about ourselves and life. Whatever the reason or truth is (if there is one), I'm finding that my life is much more enjoyable if I can remain positive and have faith that I am where I am suppose to be at this point in my life! No matter what the outcome or result of this seemingly little roadblock is, it will benefit my life in some way. I am confident that it will lead me to even more joy and contentment. Patience is key!

POSITIVE THINKING IS...

JOY in your heart, your mind, your soul. PEACE with yourself and with the universe. HARMONY. COURAGE to feel, to need, to reach out. FREEDOM to let yourself be bound by love. FRIENDSHIP. WISDOM to learn, to change, to let go. ACCEPTANCE of the truth and beauty within yourself. GROWTH. PLEASURE in all that you see, and touch, and do. HAPPINESS with yourself and with the world. LOVE.

The Surrender Prayer

If this dream I have is for my highest good, please show me a way to achieve it. Help me to have passion for this dream, to have courage and persistence. If this dream will not benefit me and others, redirect me. I surrender this concern and ask to be filled with peace.

Driving Force

"When we die and look back on this life, what will we see as having counted in this schoolroom on Earth?" ~Lynn A Robinson


What will make us proud?
What will make us smile?
What will we feel good about?
Who will we think of?
Who and what will we leave behind?
Who did we love and who loved us back?
What experiences will we remember?

Gratitude and Wonder

I almost lost all hope and gave up on ever achieving peace, love and happiness. Those words used to simply be concepts which I was very much attracted to. I never thought I would truly possess them! I thought it would take years to achieve. I never in a million years thought I would attain them in a matter of 6 months! My life has done a complete 180 degree turn (for the better). I can honestly say that I am happy! I am free! I am content! I am at peace! And I am in love! I feel so fortunate for all that is in my life. I give my thanks every day for being where I am right now. It was so hard making that change and giving up the only life I knew for 15 years. I was so frightened that I was going to fail and never see the sunshine again. But I kept moving forward with every bit of strength and courage that I could find (along with a lot of love and support) and I persevered! I'm still a little sad that I had to leave some behind. But I could never go back and be that person. I knew deep down inside for many years that this is what I had to do in order to be the person I was meant to be. The "I AM" in ME!!!!
