The Next 10 minutes...How will you spend it?

Hi, I am so glad to be back posting. I have been writing about health, and a lot of other subjects, and yet, this is what is important to me. Blogging about the wonders of the world, and how each person fits into the grand scheme of things so intricately and  perfectly.  We need to just stop for a moment and realize how magical and miraculous we are and how wonderful life is.

I have a clock pictured here. It is almost at the ten minute mark. When you think of how infentisimal a mere 10 minutes is, it is somewhat mind-boggling. And yet, every increment of 10 minutes can make such a difference in our life.

We think thoughts and say words that go our into the universe and they do determine our very existence. Ten minutes spent growling at your circumstance, a problem, or at others, means 10 minutes of your own vital force spent in making worse your condition of which you complain or are upset. Every thought spent in hatred, envy, jealousy, etc., comes back to us like a boomerang. It flies back and  hurts us-Not the other person from which the thoughts centered upon. It doesn't destroy anyone else's luck or good fortune as we perceive it. It hurts only the person from which the thought or feeling came-you.

Does that make any sense then to waste one precious minute or even a nano-second angry at another or envious of anything they have? NO! It is a waste of YOUR precious forces within and your time which is irreplaceable.  Nothing you do can get that back.

So what should we then do? Rise up at each moment, every minute, and consider the NOW a gift to be treasured, and held sacred and fill it only with gratitude and joy. Use your thoughts, words, and feelings as building blocks to build your future starting at this moment in time.

See what the next few months will bring to you if you stop for a second before you think, speak, and feel some negative reaction to something or someone. Remember, as I posted before, it's the feeling you put into your thoughts and words that makes a difference. So choose wisely. Feel joy as you think good thoughts, and let every word you say be for good. Make that your choice starting today for all your minutes to come. It may take awhile to get into the habit, however, it is so worth the effort to begin doing so for the sake of your happiness and your health. Anger and envy takes a toll on the body.

Love, joy, and peace bring vitality and well-being to body, soul, and spirit. In one of my previous posts, I wrote that "Cheerfulness is a Life-giver," so Live in joy!

Have a most blessed day,
Donna

Earth Month

This post is dedicated to Earth Month and the upcoming Earth Day, April 22nd. I can't help but bring attention to this event. In order to truly Live in Joy on this beautiful planet we all call home, our home has to be the best we can possibly help to make it.

The scripture in Genesis 2:14, says."Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it."

That word "keep" is a very special word. It means to care for something so gently and so completely. It means to make sure that no harm comes to it, to cherish it. That was the command that God gave to man. That was man's responsibility, our responsibility.

Let's all take notice of the things that are happening to our "home" which is the only one we have, and do what we can to "keep it." What we do to the earth, we do to ourselves. By making sure we do our part, we will not only live in joy here, but we will give our children, grandchildren, and future generations to come a beautiful, safe, healthy world in which to live and enjoy life as we have had the priviledge of doing.

Here are some links to help you to Live Green in order to take care of our home:

www.yourlifeandhome.wordpress.com - A blog to inform of the developments in environmental issues, more links, and tips.
emailto: adoptsolar@gmail.com - Contact us if you have any questions or comments. We'd love to hear from you.

We can stop Global Warming and keep the earth beautiful; however, we can only make a difference by working together and making changes NOW.

God bless you,
Donna

To Live in Joy-Take Time Off

When our complex lives get us running into grooves of constant daily activity, we are prone to miss the bigger things of life. We are apt to forget to look up into the sky and watch the stars at night or even notice that there is a sky-to watch the birds or the clouds, or even notice the beauty of the leaves budding as they are doing now.

Stop to truly listen to the birds. Their singing in the morning is delightful and cheery this time of year. Go out in your back yard or on your balcony and watch the trees swaying in the March winds. Pause for a few moments and notice everything around you. One can not live without his soul taking pause, or as Whitman put it, "Where one can loaf and invite his soul."

We need changes from our duties and cares of everyday life. They are necessary for our health and vibrant living.

More tomorrow...

Look up at the beauty of the stars tonight,
Donna
