Do you remember when you were a kid how life seemed so simple? You would wake up to eat, get dressed and go play outside with the neighbor kids when you were not in school. Your parents would call you in for lunch and then you would go back out and play until dinner time. Relationships were built on true friendships and getting to know a person. Today we are much more advanced and we have a greater reach of friends and followers according to our facebook and twitter accounts. There are many people I speak to daily that say they just do not do the social media and opt to really get to know someone instead of trying to compete in the world of electronics and who is having what crisis and drama that day. Too much of one thing is not good, we have entirely too much social media time for ourselves and our kids.
Let’s get back to the simple things in life, when we can wake up each morning and sit at the kitchen table and read a book, talk with our significant other, or read with our kids without feeling like we have to check in with the world first.
When you go to work and have your lunch break, take a brown bag and go outside in our beautiful Florida weather and eat your lunch outside then enjoy a walk with a coworker or by yourself.
Call or write a snail mail to a friend to let them know how much you appreciate them instead of sending them a quick text or email.
We have so much beauty around us, let’s take time to enjoy God’s creation each and every day.

Did you ever think about that dress you wanted to get but you just could not swing it this week or the house upgrades that you want to do, but short of charging your credit card till it maxed out, you were not able to afford it? Those are the wants that in life we desire and make us say we are just not blessed despite helping others. The reality of that statement is so untrue.
Daily we are blessed with just waking up, breathing air and opening our eyes. There are days that we wake up feeling like we have not accomplished much of anything, but when we step back and look at what we have done and what we have around us, no matter how small it is, we realize, yes, we are blessed. We may not feel that the blessing is exactly what we want in life (for some the big house, vacations, fancy cars, etc) but at the end of the day, looking at others around us in our own city, we are. Think of the many that long to have a home and they can’t because they lost their job and they are just barely getting by. Think of the parent that wants to have a baby, but infertility is in the way or if they do have a baby, the baby for some reason is born premature changing their lives forever.
Today, take a moment to reflect on your many blessings and share them with those around you. A cup of tea or coffee goes a long way.

Do you ever sit down and write a long list of “to do’s” and yet at the end of the day only one or two things get done on that list? I am going to lose weight, I am going to eat better, I am going to volunteer time, I am going to …..whatever the to do is something always comes in between our good intention. We try to make our lists fit in our lives but we forget one thing, we are not our own bosses. What??? Yes God is our boss and if we change our way of thinking and how we want to accomplish things, we may have a better handle on our to do list.
Let’s start by being kind to one another. After all how many people got irate with friends that did not share the same political values during the elections. Some people are still harping on who won the election. If we want kindness extended to us, we must receive it first from God, then extend it to someone else so that we can receive it, it is a three-step process. So instead of having a “to do” list, let us think about having a “to become” list. You want to become the kind person that everyone asks something of because you joyfully will help. When someone asks something of you, become that person that will go the extra mile, not to please someone and get something in return, but to please God, be a blessing to someone else and feel great about it afterwards.
