Is there one thing in your life that you enjoy doing? Focus on that one thing. What makes you smile? What little thing gives you hope?
Or is there something you have an interest in..but haven't tried? In this big wonderful world..there is something that makes valley girl curious.
What season of the year do you like? If it's spring/summer..do you enjoy gardening? Take several little pots of bright flowers and arrange them
artistically..sit down in the dirt/grass and focus on putting small rocks around the flowers.Remember as a child how you could get totally involved in some simple task and it would take on such concentration that the rest of the world
seemed far away?How about stitchery?Bike riding?Leaf/stamp/coin/whatever collecting?
I believe we are very IMPORTANT,each and everyone of us on this earth..BIG in the sense of importance...but we can find peace and happiness
in the SMALL things in life.Maybe you like numbers..so plan out something in life through numbers.
Or animals,or playing the accordion..play for the people at a seniors home.Try something to give yourself total focus.
Also,give of yourself to others that are having more problems in their
lives than yourself. There are many.Try something..it could lead you to a wonderful new path!
I have an inspiring story of my late mother-in-law and her life journey
through terminal illness,depression and HOPE.
Another time...I have gone on & on here. :)
