How Do We Want to Play This?

For your consideration…

We are asked today “How we want to play this out…this moment, this day, this experience, etc.?”

Life may be going according to plan. We may be having a great day or not. We may run into some difficulties or get unexpected surprises.

While the message in the image sounds pretty serious, our message did not come in that way. It came in sort of like a “shrug of the shoulders”… nonchalant. We are reminded that no matter what this moment or experience is, we have a choice on how we handle it. If the moments or days are not shaping up as we HOPE, we can change it around…or not.

We have a choice to let things continue to unfold negatively or we can change it up. We don’t have to go down the negative rabbit hole. How do we change things up? For every negative thought counter it with a blessing or pull out that thing, picture, or thought that we are asked to keep handy…you know the one that always makes us smile. Yes, for every negative thought, counter it with a positive. Heck, while we are at it, why just counter it? Why not think of lots of blessings and completely counterbalance the energy to a positive one? We have the power.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…

-Affirm…“I am loved.”

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?’

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Control the energy surrounding us.

What made me smile yesterday…

-A beautiful sunny day.

-Catching up with Alex.

-A pretty easy day for Bruce.

-A “The Great British Baking Championship” marathon.

-A good book.

Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
