… a day for gratitude….

 

Another year comes to an end.

Reflecting on the past year.

We have dealt with ups and downs,

family or work related,

maybe illness, loss and sadness.

We are growing stronger every year dealing with emotions

and difficult situations.

 

I wanted to express my gratitude to all of you

my wonderful friends around the globe.

You helped me cope with many things,

you made me happy,

you were there for me.

My heartfelt thank you.

I am so grateful for you being here.

I send you so much love and many hugs.

Thank you for being with me on my journey!

… a day for being a positive change…

 

If each one of us is a drop of rain,
Together we will form an ocean of kindness.
Together, we will be the positive changes,
we wish to see in the world.

Let’s be the start of the ripple in the ocean!

… a day to be a beginner…

Where could you practice to be a beginner in your life today.

What don’t you know how to do.

Bake a cake?

Ride a bike?

Try a different language?

Make your own bread?

Make Christmas decorations?

There are many ideas you can try,

and perhaps you love it and do it more often.

… a day for a dream journey…

I sit down comfortably,

close my eyes and

go on a journey in my mind.

Go anywhere you like,

somewhere where you have been

or somewhere you like to go, imagine how it could be.

Let your imagination go.

Enjoy the sights, smells, colours and sounds.

When you open your eyes,

you feel happy and relaxed.

… a day for dancing in the rain/puddle…

put on your wellies,

go outside and walk consciously through puddles,

dance through them,

it is fun,

feels good

and relieves stress.

… a day for sending warmth through words…

 

Say something nice,

something happy,

something kind,

to people around you

without special reason.

These words give warmth

from your heart to their heart.

….. a day for Mother Teresa’s Anyway Poem

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;

Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;

It was never between you and them anyway.

….. a day to create a good future…

Think about the future today.

What would you like it to be.

Can you influence it now?

Here is good advice:

“You create a good future by creating a good present.” 

Eckhart Tolle

….. a day to do write a letter….. to your future self

Sit sown today

and write a short encouraging letter to your future self.

Include a happy moment you experienced recently,

give yourself some advice, some inspiration,

write something which will make you smile in a years time.

You can include a goal you want to achieve if you like.

This was a letter I wrote to myself 5 years ago and I opened it 1 year after.

Keep it safe somewhere,

It is great fun finding the letter a year later.
