Quit being sad. Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you. ~Rumi :)

I LOVE this quote cause it really helps remind me that we are all surrounded by blessings, good deeds, opportunities and abundance being planted all around us waiting to blossom, unfold, discovered and recognized by you!

Many times I get sad thinking about all the problems either I have or more importantly all the problems my family, friends, businesses and world have around me.  It's natural and very compassionate thing to do, but if I get caught up in it and let it effect my mood, attitude and way of being then I'm screwed.  Another words, getting sad over the problems doesn't really make me happy, feeling good or be all the things I want or have to be for myself and others.  

It's okay to sympathize and feel compassionate for others and what's happening around us, but it's better to look around, see, hear and experience all the goodness in our lives, our children, family, friends, health, home, work, businesses. Even better to experience the everyday things in our lives, like sunsets, long walks, smiles, laughter, joy, facebooking ;-), the little things that add up to be great things....You know what I mean, count your blessings, look around, and you will see what I'm talking about.

It's easy to get caught up in our problems, issues, frustrations, seriousness, making a living, making a life, and losing our perspective.  But take time everyday to give thanks and look around you right now at your life and make a choice to see and hear all the good, gifts, and blessings dropping their blossoms around you, and watch how your life goes from sad to happiness, problems to opportunities, mundane to  amazing, fortunate and down right GREAT in no time at all!!

Thank you my family, friends and supporters for listening and thank you so much for being a part of my everyday blessings as well...

In Love, Light, & Luxury,
