Serenity

I work and work at positive thinking:

This is what I strive for in my day to day life:

• calm, gentle praying each day.
• thoughtful exercise with my partner and dog.
• reading thought provoking books.
• keeping up on world news.
• eating small amounts of healthy food.
• Minimizing fatty, sugary foods.

 












Try to keep peace and serenity in my spiritual life:

• Let go of worldly troubles.
• Accept people for who they are not what I wish them to be.
• Be brave in the day you have, accepting what is.
• Think before I jump to conclusions.
• Walk through life with mindful dignity and grace.
• Drink water and tea with healthy snacks.
• Thank God for all things.

 

This is my real life experience:

• Completely forget about others' cares or concerns.
• Mumble an all encompassing quick mention to God.
• Read Vanity Fair to find out what the zillionaires think.
• Play computer games, watch tv and be late to school.
• Be late to anything.
• Wish the dog could walk herself!
• Whine, complain, worry, whine.

As said by a wiser one than myself:

Snap Out of it!!!
