the secret

I've been watching a motivational movie called 'The Secret' that has inspired me. Some of you may find it hokey. Some of you will try to be open-minded. Some of you may be interested. Some of you may be inspired to rent the movie. Some of you will feel like I do – empowered.

The secret is this: the law of attraction. Your thoughts attract things to you. If you think about your poor health [like me], you will continue to have poor health. If you think about debt, you will continue to have debt. If you think about all the things you don’t have, you will continue to not have them. We must focus on the things we want – the strong body, the wealth, etc. It is easier said than done. I’ve heard an author call it the power of intention. I got frustrated when I tried to intend to be healthy. This is the same idea but the speakers in the movie made more sense to me.

We must Ask for what we want, Believe it is possible, and Receive what life offers.

We must have Gratitude for the positives already in our lives.

We must Visualize our goals and desires.

if you can, see the movie. it is empowering.

singing

singing is one of the things i do to lift my mood. today i felt like a song about friends. the only ones i could think of were 'you've got a friend' by james taylor and 'friends' by michael w. smith. i wanted something upbeat. i made up some words to the tune of 'zippity do dah' [please excuse my spelling].

zippity do dah
zippity ay
my o my what a wonderful day
plenty of sunshine headin’ my way
zippity do dah
zippity ay

friends make me happy
friends make my day
my o my what my friends they do say
talking and playing every day
friends make me happy
friends make my day

sending happy tunes your way.

please share songs you like. i'd like to add to my list.
