Silver-lining Thursday

You know that feeling …… when you see the silver lining in Everything!
The coffee tastes especially yummy, the avocado toast gives me a little energy boost and sharing a quiet morning with Riley as he monitors the activity outside …… from his throne by the window!
Nothing but good news here.
All of a sudden the morning stiffness vanishes and the sunshine has taken up residency. Or maybe it’s the second cup of ‘joe’ that I decided to indulge in …… well it really doesn’t matter because it’s
Silver-lining Thursday!
Hey, my mind is stuck in my 20’s. My body reminds me that is so not true but then I give myself some ‘self-talk’ and it’s back to planning a productive day. It’s funny how therapeutic a little quiet time will re-center me. A little spiritual indulgence reminds me of my strength.
The stiffness starts to melt away and I remember just how wonderful life is.
Yep, I have always been a positive person. Drives some people nuts. But I remember my mom that way and I guess it’s one of her traits that definitely was passed on to me.
When I was younger, retirement always conjured up thoughts of a declined life, and it can be for many. I admit I approached it with some trepidation. But once I embraced it, I realized a sense of freedom different than I had imagined. Granted, I may not spring out of bed in the mornings like in my 20’s but I find plenty of spring in my step and retirement has been so good for my soul.
I know that we all have our own messes. We all have some kind of pain or grief and the longer one lives, we will undoubtedly experience more of them.
And that is why finding the silver-lining is so fundamentally important to me.
You can change your beliefs at any age and should. Making healthy and happy choices is so empowering …… at any age. Don’t let the little negative voices in your head hold you back, (we all have them).
And yes, I am happy and grateful for all that I have and yet I know that it doesn’t diminish my faith by pursuing happiness, joy and more in my life.
It’s a Silver-lining Thursday and the music is about to get loud in here!
