Have An Empty Tank?

 

The picture says:  An empty tank will take you exactly nowhere.  Take some time to refuel.

As we head towards December, remember that you need to take care of you.  Being burnt out is not a good way to celebrate the holidays.  YOU will be cranky, easily flustered, and unable to relax to feel the joy that surrounds many people.  Joy is contagious - only if you are open to feeling it.

You can read about self care in this previous post.

About Appreciation

 

The picture says:  Appreciation is the purest vibration that exists on the planet today. - Abraham Hicks

*************************

I was walking in the mall behind two women who were chatting.  One was speaking about her parents, sibling, and then her husband and children.  The theme of her conversation was that she does so much for each of them and that none of them have any appreciation for her and what she does.  In her terms, they expect her to do, to cater to them.

Being curious, I looked up the definition of appreciation in the Merriman-Webster Dictionary.  The definition is “ a feeling or expression of admiration, approval, or gratitude. I want to express my appreciation for all you've done. a small token of our appreciation”.

The lady was using the word appreciation correctly.  I felt for her.  What do we do when people do not appreciate us?  Do we walk away?  I think that sometimes we must walk away, for our own sanity and to start setting boundaries when people keep demanding from us with no thought to acknowledging our effort.  

What do you think?

You Want Directions?

It seems that there are days that are made for happiness and then, most days, someone needs to hand out directions for getting to the state of happiness.

How do you find happiness within your self?  Do you remember happy times?  Do you think of a song that is happy?  Do concentrate on a particular person?  Any of those things might work.  The thing is, to get to how you want to feel, you set a direction.  

Sometimes, you get there, and sometimes you go past what you were aiming for.  Our bodies naturally want to feel happy.  They want to drop off the stress from work, bad food, unhealthy relationships, and other common elements of self destruction. 

This is a good day to find happiness.

Blessings,

Judy
