Day 244 of 2023- Last day of August

 Hey Friends! 

We are at the last day of August. Lets celebrate everything that you have done this month and prior. Take the time at month end to truly reflect how the month went. What are the things that were difficult this month? What were some of the things that others did for you to make your day or make you smile? What are the things that you did to make others smile?

Its such a good time to truly remember what has happened and then you can move on. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 243 of 2023-Up early again

 Hey Friends!

I am an early riser and I know many people like to sleep in. I love the mornings where I can wake up and just have sometime to myself.

Here is a great quote to smile when you wake up.

“Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you’ll start to see a big difference in your life.” — Yoko Ono

I like to smile but have not tried to smile every morning when I wake up. Its a great way to start the day.

Have a good Wednesday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 242 of 2023- Be quiet in the mornings

 Hey Friends!

When you are up early in the morning, do you best to try not to get on the screen right away. Take a moment or two to reflect, pray (if you do) and give thanks. Reflect on how you would like the day to go and things you would like to like to get done by the end of the day. Just be quiet and still for a few moments before you do anything else to begin your day.

Have a great morning!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 241 of 2023- Happy Monday!

 "Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else"-Fred Rogers

Friends, as the new week begins and as August ends remember that the end is also the beginning. 

Have a great week!

Day 240 of 2023-Almost the end of August

 Hey Friends,

We are just a few days away from the end of August and less than a month away for a new season to begin. I love summer and now as we head into fall, there are so many things to look forward to. Soon it will be the end of the year but for right now, lets just think about ending the month strong and the things we would like to do in the next few days and month ahead.

So with August ending, think about all the things that you are grateful for this month and spend sometime reflecting on something that you wanted to do for the month but have not got a chance to do yet. How can you get it done or get it started at least in the next few days. Is that something doable for you?

We all always have things pending but if I have learned something that is this time will not come back. Use the time well to do what you want. Take that one small step, just one and see how things go. 

I am looking backwards and forwards in my life and while I can't always look back and stay there, I know the times forward will be better only because I did look back. 

Have a great Sunday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 239 of 2023- Your mind

 "The mind in not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be ignited."-Plutarch

Friends, use your mind wisely not just on weekends but also on weekends. Although there is always time to relax and use the time to mindlessly to be on your device, there is also time to use the mind towards your goals and things you want to do for yourself. 

Enjoy the weekend!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 236 of 2023- New word

 Hey Friends! Good morning/evening wherever you are.

Today I came across the word Idée Fixe which means an idea or desire that dominates the mind; an obsession.

I like using different and learning words. For me, waiting for my next kindle book to become available is becoming an Idée Fixe .

Think about new words that you can learn and use. Expanding your vocabulary is a great way to sharpen your mind. 

Have a great day!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 235 of 2023- Did you know

 Hey Friends! 

Hope you all are having a great day so far. Did you know the phrase "wear your heart on your sleeve" is commonly used. I have read somewhere that it originated in the middle ages. Its a great reminder to be open and honest about how you feel. 

So wherever you go, just keep reminding yourself to wear your heart on your sleeve and be open and honest always with yourself with everything. 

Have a great evening/morning where ever you are.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 222 of 2023- Early Morning

 Hey Friends! Its really early here and I love waking up early. It helps me get so much done before the day gets started and I can really focus during this time. 

Use the early morning time to take a few deep breathes, be grateful and pray (if you do pray). If not, just take the time to reflect and try to relax your mind. 

The early morning time can be very useful for getting a lot done but also think about focusing on you and spending quality time with yourself. Have a wonderful morning!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 221 of 2023- Have a good evening

 Hey Friends! Happy Tuesday!

Getting ready to go on vacation and will be posting some affirmations and quotes over the next 10 days. But the thing about vacation is its great when you can go free of mind, but in my case, I really can't and need to log into work. I still intend to make the most of it and enjoy my vacation. Time away from home gives a chance to chill and relax. 

So hope you enjoy the rest of the week and make the most of each day!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 220 of 2023- Severe Weather

 Hey Friend! Hope you all are having a great Monday. 

So there is a severe weather warning in our area and it made me think that when there is a severe weather the recommendation is to always seek shelter, stay indoors and don't go out in the storm. 

When you are in some sort of personal storm, its good advice to "seek shelter" till you know what to do about it or get some help. We can't help the storms that come, but we can do everything in our power to be safe from it or take action where we can from the things that are in our control. 

So here I am staying indoors till this weather passes and once the rain stops, I will safely step out. 

How can you be safe with the storms in your life. Let it pass or "learn to dance in the rain".

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 219 of 2023- When you just don't know

 Hey Friends! Hope you all are having a great Sunday!

So when you don't know, you don't know. Its okay not to know. A lot of times, I don't have the words or know what to say. If you find yourself in that situation, just say I don't know or think to yourself that you just don't know and that's okay.

Have a great evening!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 218 of 2023- May you

 Hey Friends! Hope you are enjoying this Saturday wherever you are.

Enjoy!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 217 of 2023- No plans no problem

 Hey Friends! Happy Friday,

So what's happening this weekend. I am in rest mode and have no plans. Its okay to have no plans and to use the time to relax. 

You don't always need to keep yourself busy and find things to do. The best weekends are sometimes the ones where you have no plans but to be with yourself. So if you have nothing to do this weekend, I day great! Enjoy it and use the time to be with yourself.

Have a great weekend!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!
