have a fling!!!
"Tomorrow is the most
important thing in life.
Comes to us at midnight
very clean.
It's perfect when it arrives
and it puts itself
in our hands.
It hopes we've
learned something
from yesterday."
-John Wayne
"Gratitude comes from the root word gratis, which means pleasing.
The most obvious interpretation is that when you are pleased
with something, you are grateful. A second interpretation -
the more radical one, and therefore the one we prefer - is that
when you are grateful, then you are pleased, not by the thing,
but by the gratitude.
In other words, in order to feel pleased, be grateful."
"Have grateful flings." -John-Roger and Peter McWilliams
Today in Bohemia, let's have a
"grateful fling"...
I love the word "fling", don't you? It sounds so joyful and full of motion
and unfettered and has a hint of wild abandon...
On with the "fling"...
I am so grateful for:
*warmth
*family
*beauty
*flowers
*soap bubbles
*gum bubbles
*imagination
*hot showers
*rain on the tin roof
*sunshine on my skin
*snow on purple mountain majesty
*things glossamer and whispy
*laughter of children and babies
*desserts
*tastes; like chocolate, coffee, oranges
popcorn, honey, lemons, bananas...
*musical variety
*diversity
*God's glory
*the awesomeness of God's creation
*the love of a good man
What's listed on your "fling" today? I'd love to know...
Spring blessings on you and yours...
