Lightarted Living: Best Day Ever!

Lightarted Living: Best Day Ever!:  

Best Day Ever!

 

Saying Goodbye for Good

When we cross paths again

I’m doing exceptionally fine.

I gently and confidently

look at you and smile.

We're done.

 I have no need to push my energy towards you;

I have no need to posture;

I don’t wonder if you’re watching me.

I have no need to give you another thought.

We're done.

All the angst of the past is gone.

I let it go.

All is well in my world.

I acknowledge you and move on

as I giddily step into my sparkling and bright future.

All goodness is before me.

Life is Good.

 

Who or What have You Let Go?

Cancer?

Spouse/Partner?

Poor Work Relations?

Pain?

Drugs or Alcohol?

Shame and Anxiety?

Kiss the past goodbye.

Put a smile on your face and move on!

Write on your heart that this is the best day ever!

Best Day Ever!

Gentling the Day

 

As the sun rises

at the lake

Good Spirits gather

to greet the day.

Gently, Gently

they turn their faces 

towards the sun

gathering cheerful rays

to warm and strengthen them

throughout the day.

Come on, come on,

just follow their lead.

Join forces with the sun

each time that you wake.

Let the gentleness of the day

keep you in a soft and warm embrace.

Just for a Day Renew Childhood in Your Heart

 

Renewing Childhood in Your Heart

Oh how I love to climb 

Up in the tree so high

Swinging and laughing and playing

All day.

Oh how I love to play.

Let's go out for a day of fun

Let's soak up the rays of the sun

 Let's fly high 

and live happily

just enjoying being you and me.

Just for today,

Come on let's play

And throw our worries far, far away.

Recapture the Carefree Days of Childhood

Go to a park 

and watch young children 

play unselfconsciously.

Let them be your models

for how it's done.

Then just for one day,

Allow yourself to 

take on an attitude of play 

and engage in a relaxing activity 

that's fun and playful.

For just one day, 

Suspend your worries

and get into the flow 

of a fun activity

that has no purpose

other than enjoyment.

Let the Good Times Roll! When Happiness and Good Times Return

 

Happiness

Relish Your Good Fortune 

Sometimes when you've been down so long you don't even remember what it feels like to be up. But sometimes--when you least expect it--happiness and good times show up on your doorstep. Then what? How do you act? What do you do?

Good Times

How to Act when Happiness and Good Times Return

Don't chastise them for being late--and don't call them liars and send them away again. Instead, treat Happiness and Good Times as honored guests--welcome to stay as long as they'd like.

Treat Happiness and Good Times as honored guests--welcome to stay as long as they'd like.

Take them for long walks through town to reacquaint them with your environment. Dress them up and show them off to everyone you meet. Let them shine.

Take them out with friends and loved ones to welcome them home.  Share their sparkle and let their fairy dust sprinkle on those you love.

Share the sparkle of happiness and good times with loved ones.

Sit quiet and let them whisper words of love and encouragement in your ear. Trust them to speak truth to you, and then help them build a soft nest to rest in your heart. Thank them for coming home to roost.

Let happiness and good times whisper words of love and encouragement.

Leave the Door Open  for Happiness

If you've been down so long you don't remember how to feel good, leave the door open for happiness and good times to return. Keep a positive expectation for the good times to show up.

Leave the Back Door Open for Sorrow, Grief, Anger and Misery to Go

When you've been living with misery for so long it can be hard to give it up. But don't be tempted to continue wallowing in it when your moments of happiness return. Willingly wade into the good times instead. 

There's a lot to make us all miserable right now. So it's even more important that we welcome those moments of happiness and good times when they show up. Let go of the false belief that you must remain miserable during these times.

Don't let the false lure of guilt about letting go of your miserable feelings take you in.

When you share your happiness, you bring others with you. Feel good about bringing a bit of hope and lightness to others. That's how we'll all make it through the dark times.

Keep a green tree in your heart

and perhaps a singing bird will come.

Chinese Proverb

Build a soft nest in your heart for happiness and good times to reside.

Thank you happiness and good times for coming home to roost!
