When I wake up and sit up and the first thought is: ';This day is gonna suck';... I stop, lie back down, take a deep breath and get up on the other side of the bed instead and think: ';Today is going to be a GOOD day.';
It always works!When you woke up this morning did you focus on the beauty of the day ahead or the struggle ahead?
Yes, both while I did my morning prayer (Gongyo) I would replace the word struggle with challenge. Without challenges to overcome, there is
no Happiness.
';True happiness means forging a strong spirit that is undefeated, no matter how trying our circumstances.'; quote from words of wisdom.';
I woke up from a bad dream. The actor Vince Vaughn was in my dream. He came to live in my basement so I could make some extra money. So I was glad I was doing something to make extra money but he ended up not being so good to have around. Then he came upstairs %26amp; peed on my blue carpet. I said something %26amp; he said that it was just water. I had to take my hand %26amp; put some of the pee on my finger %26amp; wipe it under his nose so he could see it was pee. I told him it would smell up my house %26amp; he would have to leave. Then I was worried about whether he had some place to go. Anyway, I did not wake up happy. I used to focus on the beauty but I can't do that anymore. I have bills to pay %26amp; health issues that have not went away as I looked up the beautiful sky.
No, I really drank a lot the day before. I didn't get to sleep until 4 AM, but woke up at 7 to take my dog out. The beauty of the world was too bright for me to look at because I couldn't find my sunglasses. So I covered my face with my hands and peeked out between my fingers until my dog did her business.
I didn't focus until I had that third cup of Coffee. (J/K
Walking out to the car I enjoeyed the sun, and the breeze and the mocking bird, and sighed as I got in my car and headed off to the dungeon where no out door light, air or bird song penetrates.
I didn't go to bed last night...I'm dealing the complexities of operating the kettle right now.
..and to tell you the god's honest truth...even that's proving too much for me...metaphysics I just can't deal with at this particular point in my life..
good to point out, I think I was struggling this morning but that is a good reminder, to look to the hills, instead of down in the dumps
I focused on my ongoing challenge to remodel a bathroom. It kicked my butt yesterday, but today I have a better outlook on the project.
I woke up to a flooded basement by stepping in the water. Today it was struggle, but I still appreciated the beauty of the day.
I usually start the day asking God to provide the direction for me. I have found he does a much better job than I have ever done.
It's a day, first, a struggle, second...
It was a beautiful day today? Well I missed it-thanks for the reminder to take time to look-I got bogged down in the day to day-shame on me

The struggle of reading about people following Paul instead of the Beatitudes of Jesus.
Today it was the struggle ahead.
Blast you IT and the 6 tickets of mine that are still open.
Very thankful to have slept well and had good dreams. XO
Sometimes they are the same thing.
The boredom ahead and what I could do to fix it.
yes and yes
God only knows
no I had to deal w/ the hangover
