J'aime la vie!

 

J'aime la vie!  I feel that to live is a wonderful thing!

Coco Chanel

"To live is a wonderful thing"

Do you believe that?

                                                                  Of course you do!

Let's help others believe it as well

The next time the person at the checkout stand says: "How are you"

Or and someone in the office tears their eyes away from the screen long enough to say:

"How's it going"

Give them more than a grunt and a shrug.

Give a shout out to life!

To living

To being alive

Being happy about life is contagious!

so spread it around

 

Be the sun behind the clouds!

T

The bit of spring to fill the air

Spread the news-

We are all alive-

that is a wonderful thing

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

Life- The Ultimate Special Occasion

 

Occasionally, the impossible happens.

Faith Baldwin

Occasionally, the right words come just when you need them

Occasionally, help comes along 

just in time

Occasionally, we should reserve the right to still believe in fairy tales

And that occasion is every day of our lives

and that's poetiquejustis

What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead.

Hebrews 11:1

Getting Snippy

 

To have peace and confidence within our souls- these are the beliefs that make for happiness.

Maurice Maeterlinck

There comes a time when it is OK to be snippy

 

Snipping the people out of your life who are toxic

Shearing off the unnecessary busy

Clipping the anxious thoughts right down at the root

Today can be a grand opening for you!

 "The more you have, the more you are occupied.
The less you have, the more free you are."
Mother Teresa

Go ahead- get snippy!

 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will

Romans 12:2.

Ode to a Pop Tart Generation

 

All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast

John Gunther

It used to be this

Or at the very least this

Now it is this

Or this

Or this

You may not have a lot of choices in your work day

But you sure should be able to make a good choice

about where it begins

Carve out a few moments of peace

to start your day

It is the first step in being in control of your life

and that's poetiquejustis

.....but in the morning there is joy.
Psalm 30:5

Because

 

 It is a far, far better thing that I do....

Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

Because I lived yesterday

Today will be a different day

Far and away from yesterday

Because I loved yesterday

Today will be a better day

Far and away from yesterday

Because I believed yesterday

I am a better person today

Far and a way from yesterday

Today is not just another day

It is far and away from yesterday

and that' spoetiquejustis

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those
who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 34:18

Today's Takeaway

 

“A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there's nothing left to add, 

but when there's nothing left to take away.” 

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Adding on

Adding up

Adding in

Will we forever be deciding if our life  is too hot, too cold, too hard, too soft

or is anything ever

just right?

Don't confuse what is going on around you

With what you already have within you.

and that's poetiquejustis I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
Philippians 4:12
