A Beautiful Day

A beautiful day

begins with a beautiful frame of mind.

It starts with a grateful heart

and a positive thought.

It opens the door

to opportunities and possibilities.

It offers the chance

to see the incredible blessings

and beauty that surround you.

The 'wrong side of the bed'

need not ever exist.

Allow yourself the fortuitous moment

to believe you can.

Rise and shine, buttercup,

and have yourself

a beautiful day.

PPE

No. Ugh!

Not personal protective equipment.

I'm talking about Precious People Everywhere!

A subject I'm much better equipped to speak about.

Each of us is unique.

Each of us is inspiring.

Each of us is a marvel.

Each of us has a story.

Each of us has a journey.

Each of us loves differently.

Each of us shares subjectively.

Each of us oozes individuality.

Each of us matters.

Each of us make a difference.

Each of us has talents.

Each of us sees from our own perspective.

Each of us grows from our experiences.

Each of us is brilliantly beautiful.

Each of us envelopes hope.

Each of us can change the world.

Each of us is loved.

Each of us is love.

Each of us is precious.

Go out into the world and be your precious self.

And, while you're out there, 

be certain you take note of every other precious soul.

There are Precious People Everywhere!

Angels

When the world seems to be crumbling and hate does abound

I search for my Angels they are always around.

When my heartstrings feel that Godly tug

Perhaps it is simply an Angel's mighty hug.

When lost in the chaos and bitterness stings

I wrap myself in the comfort of Angel's wings.

When you are fearful from the onslaught of craze

Remember God put Angels in charge to guide your ways.

And sometimes those Angels aren't clad in white cloaks

But appear in the clothing of ordinary folks.

We've each got our halo, it dwells within our soul

When we get a chance to share it, that is when we're whole.

Rise up my Angels and guard me in grace

With you by my side there's nothing I can't face.

Clean and Bright

Very much along the same lines as:

"People in glass houses ..."

is this snippet from George Bernard Shaw:

Better keep yourself

clean and bright.

You are the window

through which

you must see the world.

Smudge-free.

Streak-free.

Curtain-free.

Just Clean and Bright!

Listen

If you listen closely,

you will hear the plea

in the silence of a friend.

If you listen closely,

you will hear the happiness

of a beautiful sunrise.

If you listen closely,

you will hear the joy

of the abundant blessings.

If you listen closely,

you will hear the healing

of a simple, steadfast hug.

If you listen closely,

you will hear the love

that pours so thickly upon you.

If you listen closely,

you will hear the rustle of Angel wings

encompassing you in safety.

Goody Goody

Good actions give strength to ourselves

and inspire the good actions of others.
