How To Get More of What
you Say You Want
Research and my mother have found that
the things that give the most joy tend to be simple and peaceful. Too often
though, they go unnoticed and therefore unappreciated.
Last week
when I looked more closely I could see that I finally had what I'd been
looking for:
A movie that
taught me something
An “I love you” from an almost adult child
Dinner with
a “family” of beautiful people
A doctor’s
good report for my brother/friend
The sound of
my son playing his guitar
The sight of my daughter making homemade
cranberry sauce for 200 homeless folks
Watching my dogs play
A sermon
that turned my old thoughts upside down
A call of
appreciation for the work that I have done
Letting go
of an old pain
The embrace
of a new friend
I didn’t buy, seek, or need anything
more. I was filled with joy.
Start making your list of the joy and
peace that you have right now. Look at the list and say thank-you, for what you
give attention to expands.
Leave trouble alone and grab a
handful of joy and peace.
Be you, be well, be
peace.
