WHAT WE TELL OURSELVES

     A Wise (but not old) Friend once shared something with me that I found to be helpful.
He had taken a class and learned about the messages we tell ourselves each and everyday.
This was about the negative messages we tell ourselves over and over again.   Well I knew this to be true for me so it got my attention right away.    He ask me to write down all of the things I tell myself,  example,  I should do this,  I'm not good at... ,  I could have done more work today,  etc...
The list could go on.   But the amazing part came when he shared with me that if I wrote down all of the negative things I tell myself,  the list may only be 10 things.  Of course even 10 things repeated could add up to a lot.   So I tried it,  and he was right.   The negative things I repeated  to myself was not a very long list,  and once I realized this it was time to replace those negative messages with a positive message.
And it works!!!!!!    We really do have control over our thoughts!!!  
Now that was GREAT ADVICE!!!!   Thank you D.K.

LOOKING FOR LOVE

   As I think about Love tonight I am reminded that Love can be found in many places.
For those of you out there who have not found the Love of your life,  remember to look in all of the places of your life and your heart.
Sometimes we can receive Love from a smile that we have given or received in the day. 
Each small action of kindness and Love has a profound effect in your life and the lives of others.  If we value ourselves and appreciate ourselves Love will always find us,  In Many different forms.
