Celebration of Goodness
What do we do to celebrate the Good in our lives?
How
do you express your Gratitude and Joy?
What
do you say to others?
How
does it show?
Is there a smile wherever you go?
Do
you sing out for joy?
Are
you willing to really feel appreciation?
Is
there a sense of awesome wonder?
I am noticing there is less joy for folks as they age.
Even
a withholding of happiness seems to be the norm.
People
seem cautious about letting others see how good they feel.
Maybe
there is the belief “Whatever goes up, must come down.”
When traveling to Hawaii for retreats and sabbatical, the airline
is usually filled with happy folks.
Yesterday,
people seemed down, quiet, depressed and even arguing at the rental car line.
It
was not the customary experience waiting for the plane, in the air or on the
ground.
So I
ask myself, why not celebrate the Goodness in life?
These may see dark and difficult times.
The
good news of Olympic good seemed overshadowed by the bad new of misbehavior.
The
good news of a pregnancy may be over dramatized fears of responsibility or
possible defects.
The
good news of essential good health may be overtaken by fear of some potential
future problem.
Children are often overlooked for all the good they do, by focusing
on one bad grade or mistake.
Adults
may be criticized for the one exaggerated error rather than praised for their
positive efforts.
Family
members may have their helpfulness be taken for granted and forgotten without
appreciation.
Seems
like early training was often to focus on what wasn’t right instead of
acknowledging the Good.
Turn toward the Light.
Look
for what is right.
Seek
out what you value.
Clear
out what you devalue.
What we focus on, we create more.
Where
we turn to, we reveal more.
How
we give appreciation, we have more.
When
we live with forgiveness and love, we inspire more.
This is our time to simply choose our future experience.
We
can personally return to the ways of innocence and gratitude.
I can
choose to quickly clear the negative and choose to be positive.
Let
us each seek to de Light and step out of the Dark.
Love is the way I live in Gratitude….Celebrating the Goodness.
Loving
us all,
Betty
