DANCING AND SINGING IN THE RAIN !!


Life’s not about waiting for the storm to pass …
It’s about learning to dance in the rain!
Vivian Greene

Truly understanding the power of gratitude can change your life forever.
Here are the words to the poem cited in the video featured in my last post (below). I thought it would be interesting for you to have them. You can copy them if you so do wish

Any day that I’m vertical is a good day,
That’s what I say
And I give thanks for my health.
If you ask me, “How are you?”
I’ll answer, “GREAT!”
Because I’m saying so, it makes it so.
And I give thanks I can choose my attitude.

When life gives me dark clouds and rain, I appreciate the moisture that brings a soft curl to my hair. When
life gives me sunshine, I gracefully turn my face up to feel its warmth on my cheeks. When life brings fog, I hug my sweater around me and give thanks for the cool shroud of mystery that makes the familiar seem different and intriguing. When life brings snow, I dash outside to catch the first flakes on my tongue, relishing the icy miracle that is a snowflake.
Life’s events and experiences are like the weather –
they come and go, no matter what my preference.

I might as well decide to enjoy them
for indeed there is a time
for every purpose under Heaven,
Each season brings its own unique blessings …
And I give thanks.


And it is raining right NOW!!!
SUZANNE
