THE STATUS QUO

Good Morning!  Just back from walking the dog.  Poor baby kept getting salt in her furry paws.  Good thing I just bought very warm mittens just so I could walk her and not feel the cold when I wiped her paws.  Feels good to be back in my nice warm house.  Cold today but the sun is absolutely glorious!  Gives you the illusion that it is actually warm out.  I love seeing the sun no matter what the temperature is.  I can't turn winter into summer but I can make the best of my day.  So for today's thought, "If at the moment things can't change - make the absolute best of them."  I cannot possibly turn today into July but I can enjoy the warmth of the sun on my face and the way it shines on the trees and the snow.  I love listening to the quiet and even the occasional car.  We are all guilty of this but we should not wish time away.  Even when we are looking forward to something we need to really take one day at a time and concentrate on the present moment.  Tell me how hard that is to do!  I know!  I'm right there with you.  It is something I am trying every day to do.  But getting back to not being able to change a situation.  Do your best to find something, anything good about it.  I've talked a bit about my day job.  The day to day of it is well,  let's just say not particularly fulfilling, however; I have lots of time built into my day where I can take a walk, tend to other things I need to do while still there!  Who can say that?  I have a wonderful friend at work who I look forward to seeing every day!  Who can say that too?  Look at the bright side of where you are in your day, in your week and in life.  The change you want will come when you are ready and when the Universe sees fit for you.  Trust and believe!  It's what we all have.  So on this cold cold day, look to the sun and feel it's warmth upon your face and look at the beautiful sky but please remember to take care of your furry friends today!  ~Love, Amy
