A New Day Thought

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 6:11 am

I've been thinking . . .

a new day thought.

On a Friday morning, I’ve been thinking about the wonder of a new day.
Like the sun, we can open our eyes on hours filled with opportunity.
With a fire behind us, we move into the morning spreading light as we move.

We can use that light to repair what was once broken.
We can follow it to a path that’s more true and familiar than the one we’ve been following.

We can warm the lives of the people we love in a short moment.
We can put a glow where a cold heart has been a dark and lonely space.

A new day is a chance to make a new way for ourselves and the world.

On this typical new Friday morning, I’m letting the old days and old pains fall away from me.

I’m only keep the new ones.

    What a great post! That’s such a powerful thought, healing yourself, freeing yourself.

    This is a post that I’m going to come back and read more than once, the kind of knowledge that heals your own heart.

    Sometimes we forget that we control our own destiny! Sometimes it seems like we are controlled by all the other stuff, but that’s not true.

    Shine little light, shine!

    Hi Vicky!
    It’s great to wake on a Friday feeling inspired. Yeah!

    I’m glad you’re feeling that way too. It sure is easy enough to forget that we have a fire inside us that change the world in so many ways.

    You inspire me.

    This is remarkable! Eventhough it’s seven days after u first posted this..today is friday morning! This is such a blessing to me because ironically I pretty much feel the same way. 37 years old and just recently begun to understand life, as Vickie H. stated freeing myself, healing myself. God is good, thanks Liz, thanks Vickie, and most importantly Thank You God!!! GLORY!!!

    @lashunda That is so wonderful! I feel validated in the sense that another person right about the same age feels the same!

    God Bless you too and Liz for starting these important and introspective conversations :)
