So it seems that everything we think and say and do and wish becomes the life we live for God. And so, in truth, it does.

So it appears that with every step we take we are experiencing God. And so, in truth, we are.

May you always be aware that God is in your experience.

And may you always be aware that you are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to me.

May your day filled
with all things good,

Try this little experiment. Spend a few minutes thinking about someone or something you dislike intensely — you know, that person or circumstance that makes your entire body feel tense — and then look in a mirror. Notice the dullness in your eyes, the way the corners of your mouth turn downward, the slight droop of your shoulders. Now let all thoughts of this person or situation go and think instead of someone or something you truly appreciate and enjoy — you know, the person or circumstance that fills your heart with an overwhelming sense of delight. Just embrace that person or situation in your mind for a moment and then look in the mirror again. Notice how the sparkle has returned to your eyes, the way your lips now curve to suggest a smile, and the upward, confident tilt of your chin.

The first reflection in the mirror is the reflection of judgment, the way you look when you focus on the wrongs you perceive around you. The second reflection is the way you look when you allow love to flow.

These are the ways you define yourself to the world, so the question to ask is this: Do you want to be defined by the flaws you see? Or the love you give?

May you always be defined by love.

And may you always be aware that you are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to me.

May your daye filled

If you were told you had only one moment left, what would you do?

Would you panic and, therefore, waste the moment?

Or would your live as you had never lived before, breathing in the oxygen-rich air and letting it fill your lungs completely, opening your eyes to the beauty all around you and giving thanks for such extraordinary lushness, and noticing — perhaps for the first time ever — how abundantly blessed you already are?

Your answer will determine how you spend this moment which, by the way, is the only one you have. It's called NOW.

May you never wait to live.

And may you always be aware that you are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to me.

May your day be filled
with all things good,

And when you cope with it by choosing to see everything as a blessing, every single thing, then life comes very close to being the way it's supposed to be.

May you always recognize the blessing.

And may you always be aware that you are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to me.

May your day be filled
with all things good,

The thing is, you have to be willing to walk right up to fear and grab it before you realize it has no power over you. That's how you flex your muscles. That's how you call its bluff.

May you always be willing to fully face your greatest fears.

And may you always be aware that you are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to me.

May your day be filled
with all things good,

Our job is to choose each day which one we'll buy with our thoughts.

May you always choose victory.

And may you always be aware that you are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to me.

May your day be filled
with all things good,

Certainly there are times when bad things happen, but if we consider the fact that we are possessors of good and this goodness far outweighs any evil that might befall us, then we can remember, too, that nothing evil or wrong can exist for very long in the light of a joyful and triumphant attitude. We truly do have every reason to follow the apostle's directive and "count it all joy."

May you always find reason for gladness.

And may you always be aware that you are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to me.

May your day be filled
with all things good,

No matter how terrible life may seem at any given moment, your potential for experiencing happiness is never diminished. In the same way a butterfly may overtake a bloom for a moment, but cannot destroy it, so may pain overshadow happiness for a time, but will not bring about its total demise. No matter what may happen in your life, happiness is a constant, never more than a thought away.

May you always be willing to return to happiness.

And may you always be aware that you are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to me.

May your day be filled
with all things good,

Imagine how differently the challenges in your life would feel if, instead of seeing them as troubles to be gotten rid of, you just accepted them fully as stairsteps leading to an expanding awareness of all that is good in your life.

With this simple change in perception, each difficulty could be transformed into a harbinger of good. And from this new perspective, each difficulty would become the gift of growth it was meant to be.

Attaining a more enjoyable life is simple. It begins with looking at the life you have now in a more enjoyable way.

May you always be willing to let the trouble be the gift it came to be.

And may you always be aware that you are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to me.

May your day be filled
with all things good,

Nothing feels quite as good as helping someone else. Nothing brings joy like making someone else happy. And nothing makes us feel more loved than loving someone else unconditionally. Funny how that works, isn't it?

May you always be aware that the key to getting the best in life is through giving the best of yourself.

And may you always be aware that you are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to me.

May your day be filled
with all things good,
