We've all heard the expression "there's no time like the present", well maybe there isn't. Usually that phrase is made in reference to doing or accomplishing something, but I think it would be better applied to "doing" the important things like kissing your honey or tickling your kids. Oh we all have bad days, like the scripture says "in this world you will have troubles" (see John 16:33), but even a bad day can be turned into a better day with the right attitude, prayer and faith. For those of you that are single (like myself) you may not have someone to hug or kiss at home, but as will everyone, the first and biggest step is to truely love yourself. (And when you need to, go ahead, hug someone! You'd be surprised how many others need love too.) So lets start a "better" list!
There's no time like the present to.....
Smile at yourself in the mirror...
Hug your Dad & Mom...
Cuddle with your cat...
Wave at your neighbor..
Shake hands when your introduced...
Thank your waitress or cashier...
Pray with a friend...
Laugh til your sides hurt...
Forgive...
Be forgiven...
Time Marches On!
So first it has to be said.... 19 DAYS TIL SPRING! Ok, now that I've got that outta the way I'll move on. I'd like to say eve...
Your thoughts are well worth the sharing, Anita, so thank you for "blogging". As I read your list of "no time like the present" things I couldn't help but think of the little saying I have on a hat I wear..."We will never know all the good a simple smile can do." I love to smile at people as I pass by and SO often when they smile back or grin it changes their entire face and it brings me a moment of joy to think it may have "changed their day". We should all SMILE SMILE SMILE!
ReplyDeleteThank you Grace, I couldn't agree with you more. Passing out love isn't as hard as we often make it. :O)
