Human beings have a powerful ability to make each day of life better.
It begins with our thoughts.
Most recently, one of many inspirational books on a bedside table, emphasized this and it was so good to think about it.
What our minds tell us is extremely important.
For example, if we start off the day with positive thoughts, along with, perhaps, a smile and humming a favorite tune, chances are the morning, and maybe even the rest of the day, will be good.
Throwing in a bit of gratitude for the littlest thing helps, too.
Believe me, this theory has been tested and re-tested and it works.
Today, for instance, delicious morning coffee, breakfast, and the fact that tulips, lilies, and roses are still alive in vases all over the house, contributed to a nice start to the day.
