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 Lue
