Is Now Better Than Then? →

Of course, if you do it now, it is done, but if you do it then, you will have to wait to do it. “Now” is proactive, and a do-it-now attitude is generally considered a positive trait.

On the other hand: Pondering “Now vs. Then” is a battle already lost. “Then” wins when you ponder or prioritize.

At least when you prioritize, instead of pondering a few objectives, get it done first. “Now” is proactive, and a do-it-now attitude is generally considered a positive trait.

I used to want to be somebody. Now I want to remember who I am.

I used to love positive thinking books. Now I see how enjoyable people are when they are not harmful.

I used to wonder how I would ever pick one favorite color. Now I see the color of the sky and the mountains, and all that grows is enough.

I used to look for who was right and wrong when elections came. Now I hope to see who is willing to ask what is right and wrong.

I used to think that accomplishments were necessary to validate my efforts. Now I hope those I care for a will, in their actions, look for right and wrong and what is positive.

I used to hope for more blessings. Now I can't count all that I have had.

I used to try to say more when more needed to be said. Now I hope I can say less.

I used to hope to know and learn more. Now I hope to remember what I already know.

Grateful for Today

Why be grateful for today? If your grateful for today then should you be grateful for everyday? Why makes us grateful. A Sunny Day is something to be very grateful for.

Thinking of being grateful reminds me of our family Thanksgiving Day tradition. One particular year the message was used on a placement to help us list and remember things were thankful for. 

Already mention the Sun, but it makes a big difference in how we feel. When the day starts with Blue Sky and Sun, it is exciting.

I enjoy walking outside and feeling the warmth of the Sun on my face. I love how the blue sky frames the Sun in the sky.  I am grateful for the Sun and the Blue Sky and the clean crisp air we breath.  Finding what your grateful for makes a difference in how you feel.   

People are generally happier when they have gratitude in their hearts. We cannot be bitter, resentful, or mean-spirited when we are grateful. Grateful for today.
