Wherever we awake
Everyday we have a choice
Look on the bright side

I have the little saying “Positive Thinking Area” which I clipped it out of a magazine long ago, hanging in the hallway of my home, and often times my eyes just happen to fall upon it at exactly the right time that I need to refocus my thinking to be more positive.
I have little quotes, poems, pictures, scriptures, etc posted and scattered all about my home as reminders to me to keep thinking positive and to look on the bright side of life. For each day I awake is a blessing to me and I don’t want to waste a minute of it entertaining negative thoughts.
Randomly in my head
Thoughts abounding
Think on these things
God’s word reminds me
I take thoughts
Captive in my head

Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8
Tis true
Life is made of choices
So think before acting
For what we choose determines
Our fate

What do you see?,
The sun shining bright
Glorious
Flecks of gold,
Streaks of light streaming downward,
Or darkness creeping?

Twas just a few words
They caused a mind to think
A seed was planted
Senryu
Words are also seeds, and when dropped into the invisible spiritual substance, they grow and bring forth after their kind. –Charles Fillmore
(So then, be sure the words you speak are good words)
I gave life to a word today
I released it in haste
It formed like an arrow
Piercing its target deep
In regret I tried
To take it back
But it still
Left a
Mark
I gave life to a word today
Releasing it with tenderness
It formed like an a heart
Hugging its target tight
Awaking lost dreams
To hope again
Happily it
Left a
Mark

Be careful how you speak and what words you bring to life as they all leave a mark and make a difference.
Did you ever stop to think
Your life is but a blink
Its here and then it’s gone
Like the morning dawn
So be it as it may
Treasure life today
Before it slips away
Rhyme
Think before you speak
Realize the value of voice
Your words have worth
They can wound and break a heart
Or uplift and heal instead.
