Has this been a year you will remember? The last couple of weeks, I have asked this question of many. Every answer was yes. My next question was - Reasons? If you are one of the majority, the answer is September 11.
I certainly see the reasoning behind that answer but personally, I choose to look at the year 2001 in a total different light. What kind of light? A positive light.
When I stated this to others, the response was pretty unanimous. Ray, how could you possibly see 2001 as a positive? Because I choose to.
What are the things that I found positive about this last year? Well here goes.
I found
1. That the more positive I think, the more positive life is.
2. That life does not have to be so difficult, I control this aspect much more than I ever dreamed.
3. Worry does nothing but give me more gray hair. ( The little I have left) :o)
4. Peace comes from within.
5. Being concerned with what others do or say, does harm only to yourself.
6. Accepting others, for who they are and not who you want them to be, is one of life's greatest blessings.
7. Every single day can be enjoyable if I so choose.
8. Things that I thought were important a year ago are now lost in the background. This taught me that everything is not a matter of life and death as I had once thought.
9. If something is not going right, walk away. Things usually take on a whole new look at another time.
10. The more love you give, the more you can receive.
11. The better your mood, the better the mood of those around you.
12. Singing, no matter how bad or off key, makes me feel good.
13. Patience is sure hard to learn, but I sure like it when I exercise it.
14. Money is great, but that's not where my happiness comes from.
15. The internet has introduced me to some wonderful, caring people and for this I am thankful.
16. The world can be as bright or dark as I choose it to be.
17. Good health is worth whatever cost.
18. The blessings are plentiful if I choose to see them.
19. The important things in life sometimes drift by without us even seeing them.
20. Life is a wonderful thing since I have chosen to perceive it that way.
I will choose to think of the year 2001, as the year that I found so much joy in life.
