No Comments on We Can Make Our Own Sunshine

A Horrible Day

No day is a horrible day, as all days have some ray of sunshine in them. Perhaps you received a speeding ticket because you were speeding to avoid being late for work. The ticket was your fault, as you should have gotten up earlier so you would not have been speeding. We cause much of our disappointment over things by overthinking and rehashing them. Do not let the old experiences in your life overshadow the wonderful experiences that you could have if you could just let go of the past and live in the present. A horrible day is an imperfect expression, as any day can have some sunshine in it if you pull up the shades on your current situation in life.

The Complainer

The complainer has problems with everything. If they order food, it is not cooked properly or is too cold. Some people enjoy hearing themselves complain about everything, even the most mundane details. When you are driving, the complainer will say Why didn’t you take that shortcut? ” or Why did you take the scenic route? Some people will buy something in a store and complain about it to see if they can get a discount, even when nothing is wrong. A store soon catches on to this type of person. Stop being a whining complainer, as that gets old quickly. If you are a complainer, remember you can attract more bees with honey than with vinegar.

A Day Is What You Make It

If you start your day with a good attitude, it will be fantastic and gratifying. If you think, “I cannot make it through this day, and nothing is going to work out,” you will be absolutely right. As the old saying goes, if you are given sour grapes, make wine. I think this is the day that the Lord has made, and let us rejoice and be glad in it. The Bible is a good book to read for guidance on how to have remarkable and memorable days. Get out with people and cheer each other up. Compliment them on their achievements in life, and don’t be jealous, for you have no idea what it took for them to achieve their dreams. It takes a lot of hard work and commitment to achieve our dreams.

Life Will Have Ups And Downs

Not everything in life is smooth sailing, as we will encounter many high waves to navigate. Pray to God for help with your day and ask God to give you the strength you need to accomplish your day’s goals. Faith will take you very far in life; without faith, you will be adrift on the ocean for a long time. Remember the joyous days and try to help others have joyous days. Call people, visit with them face-to-face, take them out to lunch, send a card, and cheer them on in life. You are never defeated if you keep trying; eventually, you will reach the top of your mountain. Stay motivated and remain connected to God and the people in your life.

Running On Empty

Do You Feel Like You Are Running On Empty?

Some days, we have too many irons in the fire and feel burned out. It is OK to slow down and work at a slower pace. After all, slow and steady wins the race said the tortoise to the hare. Try to keep a list of things that have to get done, and try to stick to the list if your health permits you to do so. I have my lawn mowers serviced at the end of the year so they are ready to run next year. If something needs fixing in your home, have it serviced ASAP so you will not have a mile-long list of things that need to be repaired in or outside your home. Do not commit to more things than you know you can handle, no matter how much someone pushes you. I know some middle-aged people who live alone, and they have to mow their lawn and keep everything repaired on their own, and they do not have time to volunteer, as they have too many things to do on their own. When you are happily married, you share in getting things done around your home; it does not just land on one person. Everyone does not have time to do extra activities due to health, and depending on what falls on their shoulders, they have to do.

God And Faith

If you do not have God or Faith, you run on empty, and the fumes will not carry you through life. You need God to carry on and sustain you. Without God and Faith in your life, you are nothing. God gives us a high-octane fuel that will help carry us through any storm in our lives. God completes me by giving me ultimate joy, hope, peace, love, and the promise of eternal life. God’s light shines on the whole world, so let your light shine brightly for the entire world to see. Faith has sustained me in many ways. One woman told me that she would not be alive without her faith. God is a constant friend for anyone who wants God in their life and reaches out to God in prayer and song. Thank you, God, for my many blessings. Rejoice and be happy with the Lord by your side.

People Who See All The Negatives And Overlook The Positives In Life

You are genuinely blessed if you are healthy and blessed with good friends and family. If people only dwell on the bad times in their lives and don’t remember the extraordinary good times, they are not living life to its fullest potential. Travel while you can, as traveling with your husband or a good friend is truly a blessing. Look for the beauty in God’s creation. Look at the majestic mountains, God’s great and small creatures, and how each has unique characteristics and different personalities. Every one of us completes God’s puzzle as our lives fill in the spots on the puzzle for a specific purpose while we are here on earth.

Trials And Tribulations

Trials And Tribulations In Life

All of us will have many trials and tribulations before we leave this world. Our health may get worse, and we begin to wonder why. The answer is, why not you? Because it will happen to all of us sooner or later. We may wonder if God cares about our well-being anymore. I can assure you that he cares about you 24/7. The devil wants you to lose faith and turn to him. Do not believe a thing the devil may say or tempt you with, as he will not lead you to eternal life. The devil will lead you to live in his hell until the flames of hell engulf you and devour your soul. We will have many more trials and tribulations than we ever imagined possible.

Watching A Loved One Die From A Horrible Disease

It is almost more than you can bear to watch a loved one being consumed by a horrible disease or illness day by day. The disease may come on gradually so that you barely notice it. As it progresses, it tears away at your loved one by degrees, and it leaves you helpless as to how to stop it to prevent it. You must pray to God for guidance and direction. Watching them being consumed by the disease breaks you down and tears you apart. They say that a lot of caregivers die shortly after taking care of a loved one. Dear friends are a blessing. Treat them with compassion and kindness; never desert or leave them in their darkest hours.

A Married Couple Loses His Spouse

I have seen many married couples who have lived for only six months after their spouse has died. Their spouse was like their lifeline to keep going and living, and without their lifeline, they could not bear to go on without them by their side. A couple that has been married for many wonderful and blissful years loves their spouse more than anyone can imagine possible. They feel like a man or woman without a country when they lose their better half.

General Trials And Tribulations

You may have worked at a job your whole life, and one day, your boss wants to talk to you. He says he is replacing your position with a person with a higher education, and then you are demoted to a monotonous job. It is a slap in the face to the faithful employee who has worked at their job faithfully for 25 years with no complaints at all. I have seen this happen often because they do not want to pay all the job benefits the older employee should be entitled to. The company will hire a young worker and not pay them as much. One man was told he had to train the new employee before he left the company. Good and faithful workers are very hard to find. Treat all of your elders with the respect and dignity that they deserve. Without them, your business would not be what it is today.
