Happy Friday everyone! The weekend is upon us and better weather has knocked upon are door. Yeah I know there will be more snow and sleet to come. It is only January but enjoy this weather while you can. Oh yeah there is only 66 days till the first day of spring.
So how is the gratitude journal coming? Have you started one? Yesterday I had someone comment and suggest a family 'gratitude board'. I think that is a great idea that she had.
A gratitude board to list what the family, your family is indeed grateful for.
Things like health, a pantry with food, a roof, the ability to speak freely, a computer or at the very least access to one. A great idea that the whole family can share in.
Thats what its all about and I think this weekend could be a great weekend for you and your loved ones to sit down and maybe even discuss what you are all truly grateful for.
Last night on CNN I watched as 1000's of Haitians pray for order, pray for their loved ones to return. They also pray for the basics like water, food, safety from the elements. Please keep these people in your thoughts and prayers. Please keep the positive thoughts and love flowing freely to those who are sent to rescue and provide relief efforts to this poor nation.
It is almost unfathomable to listen to some of the talking pundits who are trying to use this tragedy to gain political favor against our nations President.
Like him or not, we have a nation of free speech but we don't have to use the suffering of another country to try to gain a foothold against our nation's leadership. You know who they are, won't go name dropping here. Shame on them and shame on anyone who does not realize what is at stake the lives and safety of human lives in Haiti.
So flow freely into this weekend.
Flow safely with a smile and a prayer for your fellow man.
Take time to show love, share love and join the human need to have the basic needs.
Shelter, food, certainty, joy, peace, love and it can all start with a simple smile and a act of kindness.
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
Till next time.... Smile and share that smile with another!
