Hey, before we begin...let your fingertips dance over to 'Polly's Playlist'...Beyonce is waiting to bring a smile to your faces. Ain't she dee bomb!
Today is all about making a commitment to YOUR happiness. What is it that makes your heart sing and dance for joy? - Is it a combination of things? Love - Family - Music - Art - Fashion - Food - Dancing - God - Children - Pets - Travel - Adventure - Sports, and the list is endless... I guess we tend to focus on the stuff that makes us unhappy, i.e. intrusive thoughts, unfinished projects, other people, etc. They kind of bully us at times, don't they? BUT this is the month of August, the last month of summer, time to kick up the heels, and keep the fake tan on for another month(o.k. you guys in Australia and New Zealand your time is coming!) Get out and enjoy all the fun stuff out there!
Life really is a mix of sweet and sour, isn't it? You need one to appreciate the other. If it was all sunshine, then we'd begin to take it for granted. Instead store up all your happy memories, write a list of all the people that make you happy in your life, the things that make you happy, keep it locked in a safe place in your heart, so that you can open it in times of strife, and know that there is always a safe haven, and people who love you. Sure, our friends in life come and go...But God doesn't. He's always there. So, if you feel you have nobody in your life...think again! I love you too, for taking the time to share this journey with me.
So, what are you going to do for yourself today? How are you going to love yourself?
*Do something for somebody else? That could give you a high, depending...
*Finish a non-completed task. Would that make you feel better?
*After you have listened to Beyonce strutting her stuff. Dance along with her. Put a ring on yourself, and commit to truly loving yourself more. You don't need a man to do it! When you look at that ring, or bracelet, or whatever, let it be a reminder of that promise you made to yourself TODAY!
*Buy yourself some flowers, or better still find some wild ones, somewhere...
*Put your walking shoes on, make a point of saying 'Hello' to folk, and if their eyes meet yours, SMILE! It costs nothing, and it creates MUCH.
*Check out all the free entertainment around you...Yesterday here in Victoria the city was wild with excitement. So many fun summer things going on, the Victoria Symphony were performing a free concert on a boat in the inner harbour, then there was the vintage car rally, all free entertainment. Check out what is happening in your neck of the woods - winter or summer!
* Invite some folk to join you for a picnic? or pack your own picnic and bring a book along...or listen to your music, while watching the world go by.
* Notice I didn't say 'GO SHOPPING!'
Yes, I have the zeal of a convert ha ha ha! No more shopping for entertainment. I've stuck to me guns! Thanks to the Pollyanna train of thought...I am learning that there is a life beyond the Mall. I know, hard to believe, isn't it?
So, if you like any of the above suggestions - putta a ring on it!
Cheery Byes!
