NZgirl and contributing members,

Just a note to let you know that I, for one, certainly appreciate the time taken to put 'out there' a THOUGHT FOR TODAY because I find them comforting, get me to smile more often than not, and not to put any pressure... starting to look for them!

Thanks.

Lighten Up
Some days start a bit heavy and lighten up as they go. Other days go the other way. But why depend on the day for the pattern? Why not set the pattern yourself? Why not decide tomorrow is going to be light and easy, bright and breezy? And then when you awaken, make sure your first thoughts are filled with..."YES"! If you are not accustomed to creating the atmosphere of your day in this way, it may sound strange, it may feel false or difficult to start with. But if you persist, and determine to be light, it will become the norm and not the exception. Say YES now!.......I didn't hear you

It is the middle years of a marriage that are the most dangerous. In the beginning you want each other. At the end you need each other.

Inbetween the ends both need to work to keep the marrige strong.

The Spiritual Aspect Of Healthcare
Silence, happiness, love and blessings are important aspects. Happiness leads to good health. It is only you who can give this medicine to yourself. Some bring illness to themselves through anger, greed, unfullfilled desires, expectations, suppression of feelings and relationships not based on true love.
Look in your heart, you will know where your illness comes from.
There are three ingredients for a long and healthy life: live with attention but without worry; use time in a worthwhile way; keep your thoughts pure, positive and filled with strength.

Gift
More valuable than the things we give to each other are the gifts of virtues we pass on quietly to others through our selfless and noble actions. These gifts are truly precious because they are imperishable and they multiply the more we share them.

Tolerance
Someone who has tolerance won't even say "I have to tolerate," because that implies they are feeling sorrow. Instead, they will say, "It's not a problem. There is something for me to learn in this." Whatever the situation, tolerance enables me to learn. Perhaps I need patience, or humility, or understanding. Tolerance allows me peace and my love to stay constant. That way I stay connected with the Source of all that is good, so that I can help both myself and others.

Tolerance enables me to stay focused, so I can be connected, and the light that comes from that connection enables me to see what I need to do at every moment, and how to do it. Chaos may surround me, but if I have that light in front of me, I know where to go. If I experience that light in each step I take, then I can illuminate the way for others as well.
