Don’t Stop

Don’t Stop  (partial lyrics)

 (written by Christine McVie)

If you wake up and don’t want to smile
If it take just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You’ll see things in a different way

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be, better than before,
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone

Why not think about times to come
And not about the things that you’ve done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be, better than before,
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone

For your consideration…..

I knew this song as soon as it was given to us today. Quite frankly, because it is not my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. However, as I pulled down the lyrics, I realize how perfect they are for today’s message.

Don’t you just feel like “Christmas is over…really?” Where did it go? Whoa time to move on.

As we approach the New Year, we tend to look back and reflect. That’s ok to a point. But our message today puts emphasis on living today fully which includes holding HOPE for tomorrow. It stresses that this HOPE is not a one or sometime thing. We are asked to make it a way of life.

We are asked to believe in the Universe, our Guidance and ourselves. Make today the best it can be knowing that tomorrow will be even better if we choose to believe and live our HOPE.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

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

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

-Believe you can do it.

-Drink lots of water.

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

What made me smile yesterday…..

-An easy morning.

-A SKYPE call with Alex.

-Great pictures on Facebook.

-A fun day with Peanut and Shannon.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
