Your perspective will determine your attitude when facing any situation. I decided to make an active effort, to find at least one thing a day that brings a grateful smile to my face.

One thing I try to practice, is writing to others each morning; seeking to brighten another’s day. Maybe by taking my focus off of my own challenges, I can have a healthier perspective. This attitude also allows for a truer understanding of what really matters… love.

Have you ever noticed how much easier it is to show someone love when you are feeling good, verses when you feel bad? This is where I am employing my next healthy practice. I am making a big stack of 3 x 5 cards, filled with notes to myself… one for each day of the month. You can call them what you like, but I settled on Notes to Self. Some of them are word for word bible verses, while others are verses that I personalized. I am also putting some positive affirmations to myself in the mix, written by some pretty wise folks.

So I thought to share them on occasion, for anyone else who needs a pick me up. If you see the words NOTE TO SELF on my post, stop in for a morning snack and something to brighten your day. I have enough cards to last through the holidays, so I got you covered through the rest of the year.

NOTE TO SELF #1

I am the righteousness of God, in Christ Jesus!

I took this from 2 Corinthians 5

Between this yummy treat and the note, one cannot help but have a brighter perspective for facing the day, in my opinion…

**Heads Up!** I am having a Sunday potluck in my lobby tomorrow. I hope you can join me, and feel free to bring anything you wish for the table. Everyone is welcome, so invite your friends if you like. Stop in… stay for a moment, or visit for a bit… either way, I hope to see you there.
