HOW TO MAKE A BAD DAY GOOD
June 2, 2018FIND A REASON TO REJOICE TODAY!
NOT AS HARD AS YOU THINK!
I get stressed, especially when I multitask and demand too much from myself! The Lord doesn’t give us more than we can handle – we do!
- Take a praise break! Can’t thiink of anything good about your day?
- relax your muscles
- breath deeply
- close your eyes
- say “Lord, thanks for loving me!”
- repeat until chest tightness relaxes
- REJOICE!
DANCING
May 28, 2018There is something so restful
about a rainy day!
My worries are washed away
and whether they return
or not
I REALLY COULDN’T SAY!
The music of the droplets
beckon me along
for I cannot simply sit!
Refreshed,
I must dance to their song!

HEAR THE MUSIC?
November 8, 2017My body may be broken,
But my heart and soul
Are still dancing.
I am my heart and soul!
This I share with the universe . . .

Just Dance!
June 15, 2017I saw the others in the room
dancing to a tune I could not hear.
I stood aside,
I watched and sighed.
Wishing,
Wondering,
They seemed to share a joy
I didn’t know.
They seemed to know a love
I didn’t feel.
I waited in lonely silence.
Then, I could wait no more.
With awkward steps
I left my hiding place
And followed.
At first my steps
Were slow and few
But then it happened!
I began to hear the music, too!
The more I danced,
The less I considered my shaky feet
For I had found something else.
I discovered joy!

TO HEAR YOU MUST LISTEN!
June 7, 2016Just Dance!
I saw the others in the room
dancing to a tune I could not hear.
I stood aside,
I watched and sighed.
Wishing,
Wondering,
They seemed to share a joy
I didn’t know.
They seemed to know a love
I didn’t feel.
I waited in lonely silence.
Then, I could wait no more.
With awkward steps
I left my hiding place
And followed.
At first my steps

The more I danced,
The less I considered my shaky feet
For I had found something else.
I discovered joy!

Leap
February 14, 2014I didn’t like the music
Until I began to dance
And that made all the difference.
