A Special and Grateful Month 3/31/23

   I am happy to post some-thing in March be-fore it end-ed. 

   Please celebrate with me. This month marks 12 years since this posi-tive place in cyber-space opened its doors. I like we are connecting today.  

   This place is almost adolescent. Wow. 

   Thank you, for dropping by.  I appreciate your comments. It makes what I do here worthwhile.

    This anniversary has me re-flecting on the past dozen years while tending to this inn.  My duties helped me grow. Oversee-ing this place takes patience.  

     Writing for this inn makes me slow down. Required if I want to take in the treasures life offers. 

    Many curse the darkness.  That easy.  Vexed by politics, the war in Eastern Europe, or the shaky economy, many ex-press our fear and anxiety.

    Yes, negativity surrounds us. It is in the news. The pollution of gossip exists at work or among neighbors.

    When tempted to go in a negative direction it is best remembering how we fill our minds affects our mental health.  Or lack of it. 

"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." 

    What thoughts do you entertain?  It is best to let positive emotions ruminate within us.  We benefit our well-being when we let optimism take root. Research shows we will live longer, too. 

    Consider the many positive qualities that reside within us. 

    When was the last time we were mindful of our loyal nature, how we are devoted, dedicated family members, and hard-working employees?  These facts are the truth of who we are. 

    News institutions would see their audience grow if they shared the good that many do.  Kind acts are performed daily, and hourly, by us and many in our community, county, and state.

    It is easy to curse the darkness.  Preferred is lighting a candle. 

“How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world.”  William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
