Anything Can And Will Happen

"I have always felt that the moment when first you wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty...absolutely anything may happen." - Monica Baldwin, Catholic nun and memoirist

I love this thought. Anything may happen on any given day, in any given moment. In other words, anything is possible. Mornings usually give us the opportunity to "try again", no matter what we are facing. But I've learned that I can actually start my day over again at any time, and, personally, I love this trick!

I struggled in the past when dealing with disappointment or anger and I didn't know how to fix that. Once I became agitated over something I would feel as if my day, week, or month was ruined. I was allowing my negative thoughts and experiences to affect my entire being and it was dragging me down considerably. Then someone suggested that I just start my day over again at any time of the day. It seemed silly to try that but when I gave it a shot, it worked!

Now life is going to happen to us no matter what. It is all about how I handle what comes my way. So, when I become overly angry or upset, I take a moment to breathe in AND out, ask God for help, and I remind myself that "absolutely anything may happen" in the minutes or hours left in the day I am in. It usually works out better than I expected. If I remain caught up in the negativity, I miss out on living in the present moment and that is not the way I choose to live these days. I don't want to miss out on something because I'm obsessing in my mind about events that occurred earlier in the day.

So, each morning we have a new beginning. But if you find yourself struggling, remember you can start your day over at any time. Just remember to pause, breathe (in AND out), and do the next right thing on your list of things to do. It may just help you get to where you want to go! Blessings!
