DAILY TIP FOR A BETTER AND FSOUL FILLED DAY: THE THREE THINGS TO DO TO HAVE AN AMAZING LIFE!

I realized last night as I wrapped up my post that we really are in this together. We all are trying to make our days a little bit brighter. And with Joe Wilson vs.Obama, images of war, and the regular run down of car crashes and homicides constantly on your local news we all know it's needed.

So, here we go. I thought about finding a hope filled story to share, or a recipe that magically dissolves 5 pounds of fat, and although those may be posts for the future, I wanted to start off more simply. Today's 60 Second tip to a new you and a better day is a simple one. It's a lesson from Doctor turned Journalist, Allan K Chalmers, (perhaps the year 1834's version of Dr. Phil.) Regardless of his history, Dr. Chalmers most famous statement is your 60 second lesson of the day, "The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."

So simple, so true and so possible. Don't get me wrong, easier said than done for sure, but just because it takes some effort doesn't mean it's not worth trying. I am the Queen of excuses. I have been jobless for months, but always am "too busy," to get coffee with a friend, how is that possible? I don't like making plans or having something to do if I don't have work, but I need to stop and get out of the house. Maybe my "having something to do," is meeting friends for coffee, at least for right now. It doesn't matter what your something to do is, SO JUST DO IT!

Something to love could be seen as daunting for many, especially us girl, becuase when you see the statement most people read it as "someone to love," or at least I did. Then my mind quickly wanders to how I'm in my late 20's, watching my friends have babies and I'm not even married, but it doesn't say somebody, its says something. If that something is a person, that's great. I personally love to love people, but if it's not a person that's okay too. SO JUST LOVE!

The last is my favorite. I have so many dreams there isn't enough time in the universe to fulfill them all, but the quest for them has been the only thing keeping me going. Whether your hope is for a job, a new dishwasher or a new husband, whatever it is, don't give up on it. Hope is what keeps the world moving, it's what keeps us growing and reaching. SO JUST HOPE!

JUST DO IT - JUST LOVE - JUST HOPE - That's your 60 second lesson to a better day:) Try and see how it goes, I promise it will be worth it! See y'all Monday:)
