The Universe Is Always On Your Side: Are You On Your Side?

Leave a comment

“Imagine a game, similar to what we played as children. Let’s play  hide and seek. Only in this version, you hide yourself. You take on a disguise and then you forget that is what you did. You have amnesia for who you actually are. You only remember the disguised persona.

Think of it this way. You are the ocean. You pretend you are a droplet of ocean. Then you forget you are the ocean. You only think you are the droplet. Separate from the ocean. Limited by who you are and what you can do. You forget you are the powerful ocean. Imagine!

Yet, that is what many ancient mystics and philosophers allege. We are source, playing a game with ourself. We hide that we are source so we can find ourself once again, sometime. We make the game challenging so we have fun discovering who we truly are.

The Universe Is On Your Side – Always Working In Your Favor

If true, this means that everything that happens is for a reason. Everything is designed to wake us up to who we actually are underneath the disguise of self. This means, everything, no matter what it is, IS a blessing. It’s helpful to us even when it doesn’t seem it.

Every little thing right or wrong, every big joyous moment or horrendous disaster is all for our good. It’s there to help us; allow, and accept and remember, who we are inside. When we fight these moments or circumstances or people we remain unaware. Asleep.

When we learn from them and embrace them we have an opportunity to wake up, to become aware. Even if this is not actually the case in the universe, it is a great reframe to evolve and transform yourself. It helps us remember to look for the good in all things.

When You Want Something The Universe Conspires To Help You 

If the universe cares enough to fashion all the experiences so you can wake up to the truth, what about you? Do you care enough to wake up? If the universe is on your side, what about you? Shouldn’t you be on your own side, too? Seems that makes the most sense.

If you can find within yourself a way to be happy and contented, to feel grateful, no matter what is occurring around you, then you are becoming free and beginning to be able to design your own life. You aren’t the victim of any people, events, or circumstance. Get that?

You no longer are the victim! Whatever life hurls at you, you can handle. You are bigger than any obstacles. You can go with the flow. You adjust and continue. You find or create a way. You don’t blame, or excuse or whine, you celebrate and live joyously and victoriously.

Be Mindful Your Self Talk Is A Conversation With The Universe 

I say, recognize who you are. Wake up. Learn from everything that happens to you in every moment of the day. You always have choice points. You can react from prior conditioning or you can learn to respond from awareness. You choose which you prefer to live by.

Make your life the life you want by appreciating everything you have, don’t have and all that happens to you. Imagine that it is the Universe’s way of getting your attention so that you delight more, find the good more, and feel grateful more often. When you do this, you are able to celebrate everything. When you can do that, you are truly free! So celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

You Can’t Create Abundance! Anyone Who Says You Can Is Lying

Leave a comment

Anyone who tells you that you can create abundance lies! Either they are deliberately lying to you or they are misinformed. You cannot create abundance. The notion is wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! You have been duped, if you think you can.

Abundance is our natural state. It is the condition of the universe we are all born into. You cannot create abundance. You can demand it, declare it, intend it, accept it, allow it, invite it, and resist it but you cannot create something that already is! However, you do create.

You create limitations. You create resistance. You create not having. You create excuses, whines and blames. You create reasons and needs and wants. Consider this. The universe already is abundant. That IS what the universe IS. According to this you have everything.

The Secret To Having It All Is Believing You Already Do

You already have everything you want and need. However, if you don’t have it in your physical reality THAT is an indication you are resisting having it. What resists persists. If you don’t have money and wealth now, then somehow you are resisting it.  Get it?

It is already there for you. Perhaps, you haven’t declared it, or allowed it or accepted it or received it. You resist having it or you would already have it. This is great news because it begins to inform you what you need to to enjoy what you already have.

Your wanting and needing it may be pushing it away. Your doubt, worry, fear, sadness, anger depression, may be  keeping it from you. Abundance is yours already. If you don’t have what you desire, perhaps, you have to let go of that which keeps it away. Let it go!

You Tune Into Abundance – You Don’t Acquire Abundance

Drop it and allow. Celebrate having it. Appreciate having it. If you really did have it you would feel good about it, wouldn’t you? For you to ‘manifest’ it in the here and now you ought to be feeling good; as if you already have it. Act As If! Celebrate and enjoy. Give thanks.

We give thanks for what we have! When you give thanks you allow room for more. You act generously, too. That doesn’t mean you have to give away your last dollar bill. It means you think and act more generously. Maybe you tip larger or compliment more frequently.

Happiness doesn’t come to those who aren’t happy! Happiness comes to those who celebrate life. It IS the journey not the destination. Abundance in all things IS already yours. Why live as a pauper? Live as if in the garden of paradise. Make your life grand.

Abundance Is A Celebration Of Life – Celebrate Everything

Don’t wait. Celebrate now. Stop resisting. Start living. Live fully. Allow, accept and enjoy! Encourage and give. Act like one who has it and you will discover the many more ways you already do have it. AND you will get more of it. Delight. Live joyously! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Who You Are Behind Who You Are?

Leave a comment

“The point of personal and collective evolution is to discover appreciation for who we are beyond our birth identity. The end goal, if one can say there is such a thing, is for self-appreciation; to value who we are, what we are, what we are capable of. We are priceless.

Yet, the game of divine hide and seek, has us pretending to be powerless, pauper victims of events and circumstances. How beautifully, we have hidden who we actually are. The path of enlightenment is letting go of the facade and accepting the reality.

The reality is we are ONE.  We are immense. We are unconditional love and acceptance. We are not separate. We are one, disguised as many, playing a wonderful game. We have hidden and obscured the truth from ourselves, so we might one day, again, discover it.

Embrace Who You Actually Are – Celebrate And Appreciate You

The journey begins when we realize we already have everything we think we need. We already are it. We lack nothing. We need nothing. We are all of it. We are source and we are source energy and power. We are creation and we are light and love. Denying it is our pain.

We feel separate, alone, worried, fearful, needy when we live in the ‘game identity’ believing that to be who we are. We are not that. When we drop pretending to be less than source and begin to appreciate who we are, we awaken to what is and to who is.

You and I are magnificent. We are one. We are the infinite. When we live as if we are, then we are. This isn’t about ego. This is about letting go of ego. Drop the charade and accept and love ourselves unconditionally for the beauty that we are. We are love. We are one

To Discover Who You Are –  Let Go Of Who You Think You Are

We are freedom. We are joy. We are all incredible good things. We are priceless! It is time to begin treating ourselves as such. Be grateful. Be thankful. Be delighted. Live, love, laugh, and accept yourself unconditionally. Transform and transcend. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Expressing Gratitude Transforms Everything! Don’t Wait Do It Now!

Leave a comment

“Are you keeping a gratitude journal? Are you writing in it daily? If you answered yes to both, congratulate yourself. You have another reason to be grateful. If you said no, then NOW is the time to begin. I won’t ask why.  Reasons and excuses don’t matter. Just do it.

Gratitude expands your ability to see opportunity. It helps you create and attract good things into your life. When you appreciate what IS and what you already have, you make room for more good to come. You transform yourself through the practice of gratitude.

To see everything as a blessing comes with practice. Tough times, pain, sadness, loss are blessings too. Most of us never view them this way, but they are. Instead, we are conditioned to see problems and difficulty. When you can see these as blessings, all is transformed.

Life Is A Priceless Gift – Appreciate Very Minute Of It 

You are free! You are open and available. You no longer resist. You aren’t married to having the outcome according to your dictate. You allow. You accept. You can receive all the magic and miracles because you aren’t trying to manage the flow. You are going with it.

When you go with the flow, expressing gratitude for everything all along the way, you ARE enjoying the journey. That’s what life is all about! Living fully, enjoying now. Delight in the journey! NOW is the only time we actually have. Become present! Live in gratitude.

Transform yourself. Keep a journal. Make a list. Write down 5, 10, 25 things you are grateful for each day. Express your thankfulness and you open up to so much more to come your way!Really,  write them down. When you do you’ll discover much more to appreciate. Live in unconditional acceptance and love. Delight in all. Have fun. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

What You Can Do When You Are Suffering And In Pain

2 Comments

“Today, I suffered from some extreme nerve pain in my back, hip and all the way down my left leg. It is so intense I thought to go to urgent care to get some meds to sleep and help manage the pain. Then, I realized, I was not the pain. I am bigger than any obstacle.

I am not the thoughts but the thinker of the thoughts. This pain is here for me as a blessing to remedy what is out of alignment. It is a signal to me. BUT I am not the pain. Whatever anyone else choses is completely fine. This is my choice not a recommendation.

Use your own judgement. This is not medical advice. I went to the doctor who treated me and he said ‘Keep moving. Don’t sit.’ Standing and walking are nearly impossible. Sitting and lying down unbearable. It has made for a partly difficult day. Very intense.

Focus On The Goal Not On The Obstacle 

It nearly got the better of me. Then, I stopped and breathed and decided. I made a new choice. I determined to stop paying attention to the problem, the pain, and instead, focus on what feels good about my body in this moment. I decided to focus on what I want!

I focused on what felt the best rather than what felt the worst. I scan my body for where I feel the best, the most comfortable, and pay attention to that. Recently, I went on a grueling hike and engaged in some intense activities and used this principle to see me through.

I had to focus on where my body felt good while most of it was racked with pain. I focused on the beauty of the journey and where I was in nature instead of my physical limitations. I took my mind from suffering repeatedly and put it on more useful and delightful things.

Whatever You Focus On Expands And Grows Larger

It is all energy. Energy flows where attention goes. Attention goes where energy flows. I shifted where I placed my attention and allowed the energy of feeling good to take the place of feeling not so good. It is a moment to moment process at times. Still, I got relief!

Shifting from the pain requires me to stop and breath through it occasionally but I am managing. I’ll see the doctor again tomorrow for further treatment. When I determined the pain was a blessing rather than a problem I discovered much relief. NO, I am not ‘cured’.

The principle is to focus on what I am able to do. What I can do. Remove attention from the limitation and the ‘can’t’. Place attention on what I want, what I can do, and on that which moves me forward and gets me closer to my goal. Place the energy where it counts!

What You Focus On Is What You Get – You Create The Results

I’m not cured but I am moving forward, and learning I am not the pain. I am not the thoughts or feelings. I am the one beyond; who thinks the thoughts and feels the feelings. I can act in spite of mood, negative thinking or pain. I can focus my mind on what I want.

The mind is a tool and I am its master. It does not run me. I run my mind. Yes, I am sitting back, while typing this. Normally, an intensely painful position to be in. Still, I want to write this post and that means I go through it. I will be fine. I am fine. I AM! I am blessed.

I wanted to share. This is not about me, even while I share an experience. It’s about how to manage thoughts and take control of our thinking process to begin getting the results we want to get. It is learning to be bigger than problems and obstacles. Because we are.

If You Say You Have You Will Always Have What You Say

Sometime ago, I challenged my problems. I yelled, ‘bring it on’ and there has been no shortage of opportunity to learn and grow. Some repeated lessons, which I discussed recently. It is all good. I was and am happy to be able to shout, ‘bring it!’. They no longer detour me.

Problems, pain, negative thoughts and attitudes are all part of life. Someone once said, as children we aren’t responsible for the conditioning and negative programming we ended up with. As adults, however, we are 100% responsible for changing it.

This blog, my mission, is about this very point. You and I can change our old conditioning and create new powerful, positive, supportive conditioning that empowers us to get the results we want and deserve to get. We can make what we want happen. We truly can!

Change The Story You Keep Telling Yourself And Change Your Life

Your life can and will change! This is why I write this blog. I want you to know you can live life by your own design and on your own terms. There are things you can do, practices you can apply, principles you can adopt, habits you can create that will transform you!

When you do these your life will change for the better. Gratitude and attitude are a massive part of it. Inspiration and encouragement another massive part. Take control of your thoughts and feelings. Read and listen to positive messages. Visualize and affirm. Meditate and reflect. Create positive powerful daily rituals that serve you.  Be grateful and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

You Gotta Move A Lot Of Dirt To Get To The Gold!

2 Comments

“When you dig for gold you have to move tons of dirt. You’re not looking for the dirt. You’re looking for the gold. Still, you move all this dirt to find just a few ounces. The same is true when you seek to change and evolve yourself. You move the dirt to uncover the gold.

Sadly, some people focus on the dirt. They get caught up in the dirt. They revel in the dirt, talk about dirt, complain about dirt. Dirt, dirt, dirt. That is all they know. They don’t want the dirt but they perpetuate it. Instead of getting rid of dirt, they bag it and carry it.

When you begin to change and evolve you will encounter things about yourself you may not appreciate. You will find beliefs that don’t serve you. Memories of past hurts. You may be disappointed in a variety of ways, yet, this is all part of transformation and change.

The Future Can Be Better Than The Past And I Can Make It So

Remove the dirt that keeps your true self hidden. In order to discover who you are, eliminate what holds you back. Let it go. Drop it. Don’t wallow in it. Sift it for nuggets. Examine it and drop it. Don’t hang on to the dirt. Hang on to the treasures you find.

Since, you know you will encounter less than glorious thoughts and feelings, be prepared. Recognize these for what they are: opportunities to discover your true self hidden within them. Your obstacles, challenges, bad feelings, everything, are opportunities.

Remember, you get what you focus on! What you focus on expands. You get back more of what you put out.  They are not just opportunities but blessings! You are blessed. Go within. Appreciate yourself. Appreciate the journey. Appreciation always adds value!

Within In You Is The Light Of A Thousand Suns

Appreciate the dirt for it has kept you, the real you, hidden safe within it. It served its purpose. Now, let it go. Celebrate it! Learn from it. Learn from everything. Appreciate everything. Celebrate yourself. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Accept What Is As It Is And Accelerate Your Transformation

1 Comment

“Here’s a mindset that may seem difficult to adopt or except but if you do, I can promise you can get fantastic results. Here goes. Accept what is, as whatever it is is. Consider yourself lucky and blessed to have the opportunity to experience it. Feel lucky!

Whether what IS, is good or not so good, think of it as a game. Think of life, your life as a big, fun, challenging game worth playing. All of your challenges, all of your hardships, everything is there for you to have fun, to be fulfilled, to feel blessed and to transcend it.

It is a blessing! You are here! That is THE gift! What ever is going on IS a gift! You ARE alive. You HAVE so much to be grateful for. There IS so much in the world that is good. YOU ARE ALIVE! YOU GET TO HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE! Accept it. Feel it. Celebrate it! You ‘IS’.

Life Does Not Get Better By Chance But By Change

Stop disliking and start accepting. Start receiving. Start learning. Learn from your challenges and opportunities. Learn from those difficult people and events. These are ALL gifts to you. You ARE lucky to have included them in this life of yours. Get it?

You may not  presently choose to think so, but when you do your life will begin to transform. All of life, ALL OF LIFE, is an incredible, precious gift. Yet, some choose to suffer, whine, complain, blame and excuse. They choose to fear, doubt, worry, get angry and hate.

They, you and I, can always choose, otherwise. Whether we do or not is up to each of us. That is yours and my responsibility. Inside every hardship is an equivalent seed of opportunity stated Napoleon Hill and others. Everything is a blessing and an opportunity to grow!

If You Want Your Life To Change You Must Change Some Things

Thought leaders through out  history have said that you are blessed. We are blessed.  Consider all of life a game and any frustrations and  challenges are part of the fun of playing the game. If there weren’t any hardships to endure and overcome it wouldn’t be much fun.

You wouldn’t want to play against anyone other than a worthy opponent, would you? Teams want to compete against the best teams, don’t they? Masters at their craft want to play or compete against other equal or better masters. Difficult people are yours.

It is what is. Realize it is all a game.  How you go through it depends on your attitude. That is the single most important factor! Your attitude makes all the difference in what you experience. Develop a positive, powerful, optimistic attitude. Be bigger than problems.

Life Is Too Short To Worry About Stupid Things – Have Fun

When obstacles and challenges arise think, ‘Bring it! Is that the best you have? I can handle anything!’ Then do it! Go for it. Adjust and continue. Find or create a way. Remain calm and centered. Be the eye of the hurricane. Live life by your terms not someone else’s.

Be grateful. Be happy. Feel delighted and thrilled with the opportunities and blessings that present so you can grow and evolve and become so much better. Steel is hardened by the flame. Diamonds are created under intense heat and pressure.

The kite rises highest against the wind. Accept and utilize what is. Correct and continue. Have fun. Be curious. Be an explorer and an adventurer. Play the game well. Play the game to win and have fun! Enjoy. Be grateful. Feel it! Express it. Celebrate everything!”

Delight, have fun. Explore today!

Important Things To Do When Feeling Blue

1 Comment

“Remember, the tide goes out and comes back in. The cold becomes warm. To everything, there is a season. Thought and feeling management is based on creating supportive habits. Sometimes a break is nice. I tend to push through things. Sometimes, just allow.

Sometimes the contrast between feeling like it and not feeling like it can provide us with important insight and learning. Allow and surrender without giving up or giving in. Let go of how you think it should be and explore how it could be. Stop labeling and judging.

Look for tiny blessings that put a smile on your lips. Enjoy and delight. Morning comes. Whatever you focus on expands. Energy flows where attention goes. Attitude is everything. Where can you put your attention and focus that supports you? Find love, peace.

Listen To The Silence – It Speaks – Slow Down – Just Listen

What can you find that uplifts you? Look around. When blue, when stressed, when angry our focus constricts. Open it back up. Relax, breathe, move. Create some space. Step back a bit. Allow, let go. Stop and breathe. Breathe and focus on your breath. Listen. Listen.

Sigh. Hum. Sing. Breathe. Move. Walk. Notice, what else is around? Look around. Wonder, really wonder, what can you begin to explore and notice that is good and new? Go to nature. Sit. Imbibe. Listen, really listen. Look at the space. The empty spaces between things.

Do you realize there is more space than matter? Look at the space between branches and leaves. Between trees. Listen to the space between the notes in a song. Listen to the space between words. Create silence, listen to the space between your thoughts.

Silence Isn’t Empty – It Is Full Of Answers – Be Still And Know

Step back create some distance between you and the issue. Look at things from other angles, other perspectives. Lie down and look at the clouds. Look at the space between the clouds. Listen to a babbling brook; the sounds and silences in nature. Just listen.

Look for silver linings. Look for the good. Seek the good, however small. Seek what is new and different. Find anything to appreciate. Anything at all. ANYTHING! Large or small. Put your attention on the people, places, things, events, situations you are grateful for.

This changes everything. Keep the focus on what you are thankful for. That is where your energy will flow. That will change everything. It may start small, hardly noticable, or it may come in a flood. However it does, allow it. Celebrate it. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

What Is Critical You Learn From The Cold Or Flu

Leave a comment

Horizons bails-phil-koch

“A few blogs ago I shared what we could learn from having the cold or flu. One of the main points is, when things don’t feel right we notice it. It may be painful, but this is a good thing. Our body signals us that something is amiss and needs attending to. We need healing.

If we didn’t feel bad we might never know to take care of it. So it is good that painful symptoms get our attention. The issue, however, is to not focus on the symptoms and the pains, but on feeling well. I pointed out I learned to focus on feeling blessed and what was good.

By shifting away from the negative, or less than glorious or painful current physical events, and to positive or more healthy feelings, I could find in me, I began to feel better and heal more rapidly. The better my attitude is, the more my health swiftly improves.

Energy Flows Where Attention Goes – Your Thoughts Begin It

It isn’t easy to shift focus. It takes practice and conditioning. That is why I recommend daily practice. Find the good. Find the delightful and the new. Find the blessings. Shift away from the negative, the hurtful, the destructive to the positive and the productive. Get it?

Over time we develop the habit of shifting our attention. Remember our energy flows where our attention goes. After a long enough duration of daily practice it becomes automatic. Be thankful for problems and obstacles. They help you strengthen the habit.

Shift when things are personally painful. When you are sick. When you feel overwhelmed by bills. When you feel lonely or underserving of love, kindness or abundance; shift from less than productive, less than glorious, negative, painful thoughts and feelings to the positive.

Your Emotions Amplify Your Thoughts – Stop Feeding The Weeds

Stop focusing on what is. Don’t deny it. Acknowledge it. It is a symptom. Focus on what you want instead. Put your attention on what you want. Get it? Create what you want!! Don’t get caught up in what is wrong. STOP and focus on what is right! Promote that.

The same can be said about current affairs, the political climate, the economy, wars and the world at large. Don’t focus on the wrongs. Notice, these are symptoms. Something must change. Don’t deny. Shift attention from the wrongs to what the rights can and must be.

Attend to what you want to build. Don’t focus on debt. Focus on making money. Don’t focus on war. Focus on creating peace. Don’t focus on illness. Focus on promoting health. Don’t focus on restrictions. Focus on ensuring freedom. BUILD what you want.

Reclaim Your Time Attention Energy And Feelings From Negativity

Be glad you can! Be glad you can find good. There is still always more right than there is wrong, but sometimes our perceptions get screwed up. Focus on the blessings. Focus on the fact that you can create change! Even if you don’t know how yet, you can do it.

Be grateful personally and for the world. Find the silver linings. Find the hidden gems. Seek to uncover treasures buried deep. You can miss them if you don’t look for them. Find what there is to be thankful and be thankful. You can! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Marvelous is this moment!

What I Learned From The Cold And Flu That You Can Too

3 Comments

“What happens to most of us when we get a cold or flu? We get symptoms, body aches and pains. It can be an uncomfortable time. Bottom line, we hurt. What actually is happening during this time is our body is fighting the infection, working to heal.

My household got sick. It is plenty tough for each person. I noticed something I have noticed each time I have been ill in my life. Our thoughts, mine sure did, focus on what is wrong. We pay attention to what isn’t right. It is certainly natural because it is not the norm.

For many of us, we not only focus on what is wrong but we talk about it. When asked, we tell others we don’t feel good. Some people can get very descriptive. This only focuses attention on it all the more. Again, we become aware of what feels different from normal.

Let Go Of Negativity – Focus On The Good – What’s Not Wrong

It isn’t wrong. Get that out of your head if you are thinking that. Pain is a signal the body needs to, or is, attending to some things. So, if you find your thoughts going to ‘woe is me’ don’t feel bad or guilty about it. However, I’d like to point something out.

For the most part, a cold or flu is over within a few weeks. Ultimately, you will feel better soon. Some strains, nowadays seem to endure much longer but the bottom line is you will get well. You are in the process of getting well while you are suffering. This is important.

I noticed my thoughts tend to go to what is wrong too. This time, each time, I noticed that occurring I shifted to what feels good or right. What I can do as opposed to what is wrong or what I can’t do. I emphasize the things I can do and am grateful for. It works, too!

What You Say Is What You Get – Affirm What You Want

I can breathe. I can sit. I can move. I can speak. I can think. I can see. I can hear. I can feel. I can sleep. I can eat. I am alive. I can plan. I am able to rest. I can read. I can watch movies. I can listen to audios. There is so much I am so lucky I can do each day. I am blessed now!

It does work wonders. I am not saying I have no discomfort, but it is  an important learning point we can all benefit from. Many things in life can be wrong or uncomfortable. We can, and do, have challenges each day. These draw our attention away from normal.

If we focus on them, they don’t get any better. If we focus on how and why our relationship is broken, how lonely we are, how much debt we have, how much we aren’t where we should be, how we aren’t enough or undeserving, or how much life sucks, guess what?

When You Focus On The Good – The Good Gets Better

We continue to perpetuate it. Ultimately, it might get better. Things usually do in time but we keep it going with what and how we think about it. It is natural, it is painful. Our attention is drawn to it, just like when we get ill. Perhaps, similarly, it is a way for us to heal.

Perhaps, the challenges, the disappointments, and the less than glorious feelings are there because within we are attempting to heal, to correct, to get over these and move forward, but our thoughts keep us locked in, at least temporarily, but it seems as if forever.

What we focus on we get more of. Illness is a prime time to learn to shift focus. I am not saying it is easy at first. As with any skill you get good at eventually, it takes practice and conditioning. Still, it is an opportunity to learn to grow and make things better for oneself.

Focus On The Good – Let Go Of The Bad – Life Is Too Short Not To

Gratitude works wonders in all cases. That shift of focus can be miraculous. When challenged look for the positive, the good, that which you are able to do, feel grateful for and enjoy. Emphasize these as much as possible. As within, so without. Focus.

It makes a difference for ourselves in our personal experience. I believe it can also make a difference in our social, political, economic areas as well. If we can draw our attention to what feels good, and is working, we can better find solutions. We can help changes occur.

Exercise: Find all that is right, and good, in the photo at the top. Meanwhile, drink plenty of water.  When ill, stay hydrated. It is also a great time to get rest. It is a break in normal activities. If you can appreciate that too, you are further ahead. Appreciate anything and everything you can. It works wonders. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Delight in this day!
