Is it good for you?

My hope is that life is better than you thought.

That if you have sorrow, you at least see the possibility of joy.

That if you have been at war, your journey home in peace is at least planned.

That if you felt short-changed, the potential for more is in sight.

That if your tears have fallen, they have been a prayer of sorts.

Put on some Keb' Mo'. Pour a glass of good wine or sweet tea. Do not worry, just for tonight, about the calories, the opinion of others, or the bills that may be piling up.

Think on the good things. Celebrate the births of children you may not know. Smile for no reason at all. Be grateful for something.... anything.

Whether your mood is "good" or "bad"... you are loved more than you know. Respected more than you think. More powerful than you realize.

And... dear one... wherever this finds you...you are a part of the creation of the wonder of it all.

You have my love and my wishes for brighter days.

Happy Monday.
