grateful

Today no matter where I'm going, no matter what I'm doing, no matter who I'm doing it with, it is my dominant intent to look for and find things that feel good when I see them, when I hear them, when I smell them, when I taste them, when I touch them.
It is my dominant intent to solicit from experience and exaggerate and talk about and revel in the best of what I see around me here and now.

Abraham Hicks

I got off to a late start writing today but I kept this quote in my head and new I would get back to it.  Sometimes your day doesn't go how you want it to go but you can choose how you want to perceive it and how you react to it.  I could complain about all of things that went wrong today but where would that get me.  At every turn I have an opportunity to see what I want to see.  I can call it bad or I can call it just what it is.  So much of our anxiety and frustration comes from our determination to find the difficult in life or to complain.  If we could refrain from harsh criticism for others and more importantly, ourselves we could live that peaceful life that we are looking for. 
It’s not that the world needs to change, it’s our eyes that need changing.  The world is occurring and how it occurs is up to our own interpretations.  The bottom line, you have a say so about your life and how it is for you right now. 

Today I am grateful that I can get back to this place and feel grateful.
