Bertha…woke me up with this phrase several times during the night…
You can have anything you want…the trick is to forget what you don’t want…
She says…I’m not seeing the proverbial forest of my dreams…because I keep looking at the trees of my reality…
Ahhh…busted…it’s so easy…for me…to focus on what is currently happening…to my body…to my bank account…to my relationships…the things I don’t want…that…I totally don’t see what I want…
So…today…she is challenging me…to pay attention to my thoughts…and…when I am focused on what I don’t want…to gently…ever so gently…shift my thinking…not necessarily to something that I want…that may be too big of a shift…but to something that makes me smile…something that makes me happy…she reminds me that finding something to appreciate is the perfect way to do that…
Okay…just for today…I accept the challenge…

What a positive message. The idea about shifting our minds to something that makes us smile is a good one! I am going to remember this post today 🙂
Thank you so much Christy. I hope you have smiles all day!
