Walking Through Wednesday *New* ~June 29, 2011

Happy Wednesday everyone and welcome to the middle of the week, some call 'can't wait till this week is over' others call it hump day. Others look at it as what it is another awesome day to make a difference, to share a smile, to care, to live a life with purpose.

Which one of these are you?

What do you choose?

What do you think upon as you take your next step in life?

It is really all about the choices we make each morning and how we choose to walk through our day. One step at a time, one smile and kind word gently place before another.  Don't forget to start this process with you, the person in the mirror, the one who has the power to choose.

Think about this everyday has the same amount of hours, minutes and seconds.  We all get the same amount of time we just choose and decide to use it differently and with different people.

My thoughts for the new format for this post is the word adversity and on Wednesday I set aside the day to inspire you to overcome and focus on a more positive outcome.

This quote will fit this post nicely on this subject:

When life seems too hard to handle,

look around and you'll find

thousands handling problems that

make yours pale in comparison.

How very true, it only takes a trip out into the world, a drive down to the mall, or along city streets.  We all see them, people who have more things that are obviously hindering them but still find a way to smile, to share a kind word.  People who make a difference despite being different.

Hey we all have some struggles, me included.  We all have bills to pay, pains to feel, walls of problems that seem hard to climb over. But climb over we will we just need to put the effort forward.

We just need to have the right attitude.

We just need to have the right thoughts and words that we share with ourselves.

Those eyes in the mirror, the windows to the soul, the person who makes the decision and the choice that today, on my watch I will be kind not only to others but to myself.

Yesterday is history, stop reliving it and start to focus on today.

Not the mystery of tomorrow but today, live right here in the now.

Driving to work yesterday, I heard on the radio this bible verse, from Psalm 19 11-14 (The Message version)

11-14 There's more: God's Word warns us of danger

and directs us to hidden treasure.

Otherwise how will we find our way?

Or know when we play the fool?

Clean the slate, God, so we can start the day fresh!

Keep me from stupid sins,

from thinking I can take over your work;

Then I can start this day sun-washed,

scrubbed clean of the grime of sin.

These are the words in my mouth;

these are what I chew on and pray.

Accept them when I place them

on the morning altar,

O God, my Altar-Rock,

God, Priest-of-My-Altar.

Understand that we can all be sun-washed each day, scrubbed clean of stupid sin, and the grime that comes along with it.

We can all look at today and say I will share joy, not hate.

I will share love and the simple sincere smile.

When we look in that mirror what are the kind words you say about ourself.  Do you look with eagerness the next days step and journey?

Take time to meditate, take time to give thanks for the good things that surround each one of us.

Make time to laugh, to smile, to share, to make a difference.

It all starts with you and so it will ......

Enjoy your day everyone and smiles sent your way : )
