identify 100 things that make me happy.

This was the highlight to my day…............................And now I just have to grow up!

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked
side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide
stopped in front of the first section and said, “This is the Receiving
Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received.”

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels
sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from
people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, “This is the Packaging and Delivery Section.
Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and
delivered to the living persons who asked for them. “I noticed again how
busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station,
since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for
delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a
very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there,
idly doing nothing. “This is the Acknowledgment Section,” my angel friend
quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed “How is it that there is no
work going on here?” I asked.

“So sad,” the angel sighed. “After people receive the blessings that they
asked for, very few send back acknowledgments .”

“How does one acknowledge God’s blessings?” I asked.

“Simple,” the angel answered. Just say, “Thank you, Lord.”

“What blessings should they acknowledge?” I asked.

“If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead
and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have
money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among
the top 8% of the world’s wealthy .”

“And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the
world who has that opportunity.”

“If you woke up this morning with more health than illness … you are more
blessed than the many who will not even survive this day .”

“If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation … you are
ahead of 700 million people in the world.”

“If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture
or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in
the world .”

“If your parents are still alive and still married …you are very rare .”

“If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you’re unique
to all those in doubt and despair.”

Lemons…......naturally!

Today, a friend called round who needed some advice. This person has never turned to me before for help and It made me feel really honored that he could do this.

It is never easy to open up to someone, whoever they are, but when they do, I feel that you should respect whatever they say and just listen. Sometimes I think thats all we need is just someone to listen.

And I want to add this to my list of 100 things because I helped a friend and that makes me happy. Simple really .

It’s Never Too Late To Have A Happy Childhood.

Walk in the rain, jump in mud puddles, collect rocks, rainbows and roses, smell flowers, blow bubbles, stop along the way, build sandcastles, say hello to everyone, go barefoot, go on adventures, act silly, fly kites, have a merry heart, talk with animals, sing in the shower, read childrens’ books, take bubble baths, get new sneakers, hold hands and hug and kiss, dance, laugh and cry for the health of it, wonder and wander around, feel happy and precious and innocent, feel scared, feel sad, feel mad, give up worry and guilt and shame, say yes, say no, say the magic words, ask lots of questions, ride bicycles, draw and paint, see things differently, fall down and get up again, look at the sky, watch the sun rise and sun set, watch clouds and name their shapes, watch the moon and stars come out, trust the universe, stay up late, climb trees, daydream, do nothing and do it very well, learn new stuff, be excited about everything, be a clown, enjoy having a body, listen to music, find out how things work, make up new rules, tell stories, save the world, make friends with the other kids on the block, and do anything else that brings more happiness, celebration, health, love, joy, creativity, pleasure, abundance, grace, self-esteem, courage, balance, spontaneity, passion, beauty, peace, relaxation, communication and life energy to…all living beings on this planet.
