Random Thoughts

The sun is shining today after yesterday's deluge.

It's cold but just the sight of the sun warms me.

I'm having some random thoughts so I thought I'd write them down.

I love to laugh.  

Laughter really is the best medicine.

No matter what is happening in your life,

when you laugh you feel better.

So laugh!

I love to smile.

When you smile at someone hopefully they smile back.

It might be the only smile they see that day.

So smile!

I love to encourage.

Sometimes just a word or two can make a difference to a person.

If someone looks good, tell them.

If someone does a good job, tell them.

If someone lifts your spirits, tell them.

So encourage!

I love to listen.

Listening has become a lost art.

Ask yourself:

Am I thinking of what I want to say, or am I listening?

Am I thinking of what I have to do, or am I listening?

We all want others to listen to us.

So listen!

 

I love to cry.

A good cry cleanses the body and soul.

"Those who sow with tears reap with songs of joy."

The best tears are those shed with and for others.

So cry!

 

 I love to live.

The older I get, the more precious life is.

I wish I'd realized this when I was younger.

I'm thankful I realize it now.

It's not about how much I have.

It's not about what I do.

It's about relationships.

Laughing, smiling, encouraging, listening, crying.

Living!
