Today I would like to start with a short prayer.

Holy Father,
I give thanks today for my life and loving family. I thank you Lord for all the good in my life and for the tribulations that make me a better person. I am grateful for your love. 
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen
Okay, now that we have that done we should all take a moment to ground ourselves and just breathe.  Breathe in the fall crisp air.  Smell the sunshine! No, I'm not tripping but things smell different when the sun is shining and life is good.  Smile! It's free and contagious. Smiling will also cheer you up if you're not just feeling yourself.  As we travel through this life together we should always try to be kind.  Everyone is fighting a battle, we just don't know what that battle is.  A smile may mean the world to someone! Always look for the silver lining.  Be positive in all you do and if it doesn't work out, that's okay.  I have a saying “if not this then something better” and it hasn't failed me yet.  Be patient.  Patience is a virtue we've been told for years but I think patience is to teach us to enjoy what we have because what we have been patient for may not always be what we were hoping or praying for.  So on that note, dream your dreams, pray everyday and be happy with who you are. You and I are exactly where we are meant to be!
