I found the image above on Google yesterday and sat here marveling at it's beauty for awhile. Lately, I've been looking at things very differently. When I see a flower I now SEE the flower and all that it encompasses. When I hear music I HEAR the intricate details of every note playing. When I hear someone singing beautiful words I now FEEL the emotion that is put into each word. When I read a poem I know without a doubt that God is the true poet. There are so many facets of life and it amazes me how for many of them I was not fully awake. But, today is different and yesterday was different and I'm sure tomorrow will be different as well. Now I am fully awake and aware. I'm aware that many people are in need in this world. I'm aware that cancer is not just a word, but indeed a life altering disease. I'm also aware that WE were not created to live in fear, sorrow, self loathing, or hatred of anyone. These lessons clarify and guide me daily. Just as the flower above gave me sweet joy just at the sight of it WE should do the same for ourselves and for others as much as we humanly can.
Today I Am:
1. Abundantly Grateful
2. Awake
3. Filled With Deep Rooted Love
4. Joyful
5. Uplifted
