A New Year:
Not typically a resolution maker (I gave up a long time ago) this year I succumbed. I found a recipe. Not one I aspire to replicate… just to think about (I have it taped on my desk)… and to share.
A Recipe for Joy by Abraham-Hicks
Seek joy, first and foremost.
Seek reasons to laugh.
Seek reasons to offer words of praise to self and others.
Seek beauty in nature, beasts and other humans.
Seek reasons to love. In every segment of every day — look for something that brings forth within you a feeling of love.
Seek that which uplifts you.
Seek opportunities to offer that which uplifts another.
Seek a feeling of Well-being.Know that your value can only be measured in terms of Joy.
Acknowledge your absolute freedom to do any of these things or to not do any of these things — for it is, without exception, your choice in every moment of every day.
Happy Choosing,
Gloria
