I have come to be an action taker and put things in motion so that if anything happens to me someone can continue the work I have started. \u00a0It is always great to make plans but remember things may change so sometimes it is best to go with the flow and do the things you planned to do tomorrow \u00a0today. \u00a0So many times we say oh I will do it tomorrow and in many cases tomorrow doesn&#8217;t come. Make today the day you go out and do the things you meant to do so when it is all said and done you can look back and say \u00a0I had an extraordinary day.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/spdSSI2rTKI\" width=\"300\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\u00a0I sat at my local Starbucks today writing this blog entry I had a moment to truly dial in to the message of this song. Many times we get so caught up in chasing money that we lose the true meaning of life and that is to love life and celebrate every moment and find people to share in the love and joy that is the gift of life. Today is the day the lord hath made be glad and rejoice in it. \u00a0Each day we are given is a gift from GOD who will direct you to achieve the life he has in store for you. He will sometimes put obstacles in your way to teach you lessons so that you appreciate the day he has made. \u00a0In sitting in a near tranquil state I received the message to take each day moment by moment step by step. As I took deep breaths in and out I became more centered and grounded and more grateful for the day.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OqEHaQ1RbME\" width=\"300\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\u00a0I have used this song before in several of my entries and today it really hit home as I realized that it is important to see GOD clearly, Love God more dearly, and follow GOD more clearly. It came clear as I heard of another person close to me being diagnosed with cancer. As a result I sat in meditation and took the messages to heart and acted upon them. \u00a0I went to the bank to turn my change from Change For The Cure into cash to turn into The American Cancer Society towards The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton the amount totaled $6. I then went to another \u00a0bank to do personal banking, and then I went to Starbucks to write this blog. As I entered Starbucks I thanked GOD for the day and all he is doing in my life. \u00a0In doing things today \u00a0and being grateful for the opportunity to do them I have been able to stay focused and grounded. In celebrating today and letting go and letting GOD I was able to accomplish some really good things like reassuring the lady in line at the bank that her decision to GO to church and then visit her granddaughter for her granddaughter&#8217;s birthday was te right thing to do. By asking GOD to look over me and guide me I was provided for today.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sp.yimg.com\/ib\/th?id=HN.608012054864661402&amp;pid=15.1&amp;w=152&amp;h=101&amp;p=0\" alt=\"philippines philippines flag philippines information about philippines ...\" \/>\u00a0When I was in The Philippines as a U.S.Peace Corps Volunteer I learned a saying that as long as we had rice today we are fine and tomorrow will take care of itself. \u00a0Many times we get so caught up on tomorrow that we lose sight of the beauty that is today. Take a moment today to look around and see the beauty in the nature that surrounds you. Look at what you have and be grateful.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c2WAQITmiBU\" width=\"300\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>This song illustrates the point of living for today so eloquently as it reminds us we can not go back and change the past and we can not control the future all we can do is live for the day. Make the moments \u00a0count so that when you lay your head to rest you know that you did everything to make sure that the day was filled with peace, love, joy, and prosperity.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4_HB6SvTtkk\" width=\"300\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>GOD&#8217;S presence is within us on a daily basis and GOD wants us to be fulfilled \u00a0so that we can celebrate life every day.
