Today's Thought

You are reading from the book Today's Gift.

Happiness is not a place to travel to. It's a way of getting there. --Anonymous

Those of us who climb mountains find joy in reaching the top. However, the climb would not make much sense if there were not things to enjoy on the way up. If we groan and complain, it will be hard to feel joy at the summit. However, if we are able to enjoy each day's journey, it makes all the difference in the world. In the midst of each chore, we can notice the sunset or the unique and beautiful surroundings of each day.

Each of our days is different. Happiness is not a goal we are struggling to reach some time in the future. It is a gift we can give ourselves today. If we enjoy some parts of each day of our hike, we will also feel joy at the summit.

What form will my gift of happiness take today?

I think this is a great reading for today. I know sometimes I get caught up in the 'drama' of the moment and I forget to simply enjoy the journey.

"Happiness is not a goal we are struggling to reach some time in the future. It is a gift we can give ourselves today. If we enjoy some parts of each day of our hike, we will also feel joy at the summit." I'll do my best to remember this message every day!

Hope everyone will have a peaceful, addiction free day!

I'll be going to my son's for Thanksgiving dinner. Even though his fiancée and I don't exactly enjoy each other's company (if you know what I mean) - I'm very grateful they invited me to share the day with them.

"The unthankful heart...
discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and,
as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings! " - Henry Ward Beecher

Happy Thanksgiving, Teddie. Whatever you choose to do today may you enjoy it and be grateful. I know I'm doing as I choose and am grateful that I am able to do as I please.

May all you "lurkers" also have a great day.
