"More Than a Day"

2/14/2022

Comments

 

Dear Friend,

This is being shared on a day that should be the “norm” for every single day “Celebrating Love”. Being Mindful of those we love “daily”.  Love is defined and expressed in so many ways.

In Fact, 
I’ve considered that for some it's just the opposite.  The flow is worrying, 
being weighted about “something” is and has become the norm.



If we are facing a challenge. . . 
When we are facing a challenge


Does our emotion determine the outcome?
Does our emotion change it?
Does our emotion provide an asset or liability to the day before us? 

What emotion sits in the driver's seat and what has it added or subtracted to a new day.

The Focus. . .
From This Heart. . .
Is not about being Easy


The Work
Is the Exercise
The Choices that we choose in every single Moment
Every Single Moment that we are presented with



Who promised that “tomorrow” will be the same as today?


Who said that Tomorrow will allow us to make it better, or to make changes?
To allow us “Time” to Talk about it, to Work it Out
You can Say “I’m Sorry” or not
You can Say “I Love You” or not
You can decide to decide “what really matters” every single day



I don’t know what happened
I don’t why it happened

But
Confusion 

Frustration
Irritation
​Anger

Will never, never, never change it

Did I say Never?!

The decision that we all have is "What to Do With What We Have?!"

For Those Hearts who have traveled a distance
With this Heart 
YOU KNOW

This Heart is not Sharing Answers

This Heart Shares a Perspective
From the Miles Traveled to Present Day
From My Faith
From the Tears, the Laughter, the Change that life has presented to “present day”



From a Heart That Knows
And
Chooses To Share Every Day in Numerous Ways
“Gratitude Always Robs Regret”


When Life Changes
When Life Changes
When Life Changes



Not If 
Not If

  When 
When

When Life Changes


Like a Book
Filled with Many Chapters
Every Day 
Will be another page written

It will be Pages Written from many Moments
By the Words
By the Decisions, We Have “Decided” to Make





Life will Change Many Times
Life will Change Many Times


And

If We Can 


We can embrace and make the most of each day
Being aware of that
Exercising In That 

Making the Best Choices that We can 


We Choose 
To Make Decisions on What Really Matters
“Every Single Day”


These Words when Exercised
I Promise…
Will decide our Words
Will decide our Actions
Will decide if we add oil to a Fire
Or 
Offer Peaceful Silence



If Nothing Else
We 
Always a Choice


We Travel with Many 
But 
We Will Always 

Be Accountable to One

Hugs,

Not What's Missing. . . What do you do with what You Have?!

Not What’s Missing...



What do you do with what you have?!
Not What’s Missing. . .What do you do with what you have?!


This share is Inspired by my Baby Brother, of course not a baby, but the endearing words that I’ve attached to him.

He currently resides in a different state located many miles away.
But
We touch base as often as possible
For that alone, this Heart is very Grateful
And 
During a recent check-in 
He mentioned that he had intended to prepare a certain meal 
only to find out 
A certain ingredient was missing for meal Plan A, 
Now because of that “missing item” would shift to Meal Plan B



The Inspiration, the Love that filled this heart, "is the Shifting Factor" 
It is whatever is before us
That allows us to decide what to do with it

What do we do with what we have now?!



My heart was instantly filled with how this fits into what I live on, what I share, what I choose to exercise in. . .

The Focus
The Focus
The Focus

The Focus is not what is missing, it is for this heart
What do we do with what we have now?! 




Instead of FOCUSING On
and
Sharing with whomever is listening
Always about what is missing in your life?!



These words really matter to this Heart
Because
It represents the choice we confront every day, in every moment
“Living Fully” in every moment “gifted” to us




It is not waiting on that certain moment
It is not determined when arriving at a certain destination
It is not being stagnated or weighted by what was
When Hope exists 
IT IS
For This Heart

Connected to ‘right now’ and Exercising Gratitude in What Is Right Now?!



From a Heart that Knows
Living Inside Out, Peace within is priceless
FOCUS
Is not centered on EASY
FOCUS

Is a CHOICE, Always a Choice


This Heart Knows
That the Gift is located in Right Now
The Gift is located in every moment, in every opportunity
To share a smile
To share in Laughter with those we love
Every opportunity "afforded" to us




Beautiful is having a heated debate about any Topic
And
Not allowing that debate to end on walking away offended
We don’t have to agree
The gift is being able to have the conversation

Without being angered or so easily offended
It really is okay 
To Agree to Disagree and Continue Forward




Life offers so many things
It is the View 
It is the Perspective
Recognizing that as we Journey Together
It’s a Choice 
Always a Choice
That while we Travel with Many
Only You
Only I
Only We can decide the ‘choices’ that we will make



We can choose to Celebrate every moment afforded to us
Every Opportunity 
That a “Breath” offers


Not What’s Missing. . .
What do we do with what we have?!


This heart “lived” that way
This heart lives this way



Choosing to Exercise in that way
Not Focused on what is Easy
Not concerned about what can’t be changed “this day”
Intentional Living
Making choices daily of the words
And
The actions that this heart chooses



Dear Friend

This is what allows our Hearts to Rob Regret
Because 
For Some,
We Know What Really Matters

Every Single Day


When Life Changes
Not If
But When



It will not be centered on what’s missing 
Instead a Peaceful Heart that Cherishes all things Experienced
Because we chose our intention daily
We Exercised Gratitude Daily
We Focused on What Really Matters Daily
Living In What Really Matters




That is
What is meant when this Heart Shares
From a Heart that Knows
Gratitude Robs Regret


Not What’s Missing…
What do we do with what we have?!


​

Until Next Time . . .
This Heart Does Not Share Answers
This Heart Shares a Perspective
That allows a Peace Within that can’t be Measured

Picture
Making Gratitude Contagious was, is and always will be the intent
Want More. . .
Thank you for Planting seeds of Gratitude
From the Corner that you Reside
Thank "you" for the way in which you express and share Gratitude
Nothing is too little and everything is appreciated
