"It's like Forrest Gump said,
'Life is like a box of chocolates.
You never know what you're going to get.'
But everything you get is going to teach you
something along the way." - Nick
Carter
Some of the things we get are not among our "favorite things," as Julie Andrews sings about in "The Sound of Music."
Some things uplift us; others upset us.
As we proceed into this week, let's set an intention to call upon the gift of hope whenever we get something that we would prefer to reject from our life experience.
May we keep our minds and hearts open
and trust that every "thing" holds potential to help us heal, grow, and deepen in love, compassion, and wisdom.
Also, sometimes what we first perceive as "bad" turns into a blessing of something "good." Can you recall such a time?
With love,
Charlene
