It is a Wonderful Life

photo(8)  Your life IS a wonderful life!  Give thanks for the abundance of blessings that are in your life, right now, today.  There is always something to be thankful for.  You and I have so much to be grateful for, and the best is yet to come!

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”  ~William Arthur Ward

Have you ever done that?  Wrapped a gift and then didn’t give it away?  I remember one time, I had wrapped a gift with the intention of giving it to someone, then my trip to visit my friend got cancelled.  We lived in different areas of Texas.

Christmas had come and gone, and it was months later before I found the gift in my closet, all wrapped and ready to go.  I took the present out of the closet, held it in my hands, and as I sat on my bed,  I felt sad that the gift I had picked out for my friend was still here… so many months later.

You know what I did?  I mailed it to her the same day… It felt really good to give my friend her present, even though Christmas had been over for some time.

When you express gratitude, it expands your heart space, making room for many more blessings in your life.  Not just this time of the year, but everyday, take time to offer up prayers of gratitude for the overflowing abundance in your life.

With much love,

Alice

Tomorrow is Their Big Day…

I truly do believe that dreams can come true.

Loving This Time of the Year

pic9 Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year. I buy my Christmas presents all throughout the year, as I come across something that I believe that special person would like. That also takes the pressure off of trying to do this one month before Christmas! Then, I spend one or two evenings wrapping presents while watching Christmas movies. It’s such fun for me! Decorating the house brings great joy to me as well. Even now, in my early 50’s, I just delight in the feeling that I have during this magical time of the year. That’s why you will see Christmas themed picture quotes all month long! 🙂

I believe the reason I enjoy it so much is because, for me, it’s an outward expression of what I feel everyday… I would like to share two quotes about Christmas that articulate how I feel…

“Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.” ~Calvin Coolidge

“Christmas, my child, is love in action. Every time we give, it’s Christmas.” ~Dale Evans

I wish you so much joy, peace, and love during this special time of the year. Take time to relax and enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee or tea, and as you do, take a minute to count the blessings in your life, because there are so many. Being here now, partaking in the beauty of the season, is definitely one of them.

With much love,

Alice
