contrast

The book I'm reading, which I will say more about later, talks about contrast being the concept that helps us learn and grow. If everything was the same all the time, there would be nothing to learn.

I'm keeping that in mind when I'm frustrated. My happy days  will be more happy compared to the frustrating ones. I will remember when I'm having a hard day, how much sweeter the easy ones will be. This will take practice.

Here's hoping we all can appreciate life's contrasts.

Some of the best days of your life haven't happened yet. – https://www.facebook.com/pages/Spiritual-Awakenings-%E0%A5%90/105433989565465

A great thought about looking forward to the future. It is wonderful to have a happy past to relive in memories. It is important and energizing to stop and enjoy the simple moments as they come: a cat curling up in your lap; a dog jumping with excitement to see you when you come home; a niece calling to tell you about something special to her; an outdoor barbecue in the summer; a warm fire in the winter; seeing a rainbow after the rain; hugs and kisses, etc.

Even better, imagining the fun things that could be right around the corner, some you haven't planned yet and others you may not see coming. Finding something to look forward to is a good way to keep a positive outlook.

May you remember yesterday with a smile. May you enjoy whatever is happening in this moment. May your tomorrow be even better than today!
