365 grateful project

I have stumbled upoin this fantastic project, its called the 365 day grateful project. I have added the link above and would love you to check it out. Basically it is finding something each day for a year to be greatful for. You can then write this down each day or if you love photography like I do, then you can take a picture each day of what you are thankful for or you can draw what you are grateful for. Why do this? Well often we miss the little things in our life that make it worth living and we are swamped by the troubles or worries that come our way, so this is a way to rebalance our lives and bring some joy into each day, so I would challenge you to take this on & then share some of what you have discovered. I am going to take on the challenge myself and starting today I am going to find things to be grateful for. I will post some things on here from time to time to.

I'm greatful for friends that visit!!!

Peace Postcard

I received an email today that included a peace postcard that I would like to share with you. It was from Teri Williams of Theblissnetwork.com
1. Strive for peace from the inside out - breathe and meditate
2. Smile at everyone you see, including animals
3. Listen to music for the pure joy of it
4. Give to another each day, no matter how big or small
5. Do what you can each day to create peace for yourself and others.

A Beautiful Prayer

I asked God to take away my pain and bad luck.
God said, "No, it is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up."

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole,
God said, "No, his spirit is whole, his body is only temporary."

I asked God to grant me patience,
God said, "No, patience is a by product of tribulations, it isn't granted, it is learned."

I asked God to give me happiness,
God said, "No, I give you blessings, happiness is up to you."

I asked God to spare me pain and depression,
God said, "No,suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me."

I asked God to make my spirit grow,
God said, "No, you must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful."

I asked God for money and all things that I might enjoy in life,
God said, "No, I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things."

I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves me,
God Said...."Ahhhhhh, finally you have the idea."

Today is yours, don't throw it away.
 May God bless you

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

I leave these words with you that they may bring you hope and encouragement.
