LIVE, LAUGH, AND BE WELL

"Love, laugh, and be well speaks to the idea of seeing the good in each and every situation. When we can find the good. shift happens."

Sandra Lindsey Smith,               --Life's Garden of Weekly Wisdom"

It is said that laughter is the best way to improve a person's mood. fearful, lonely, unhappy, going through a difficult situation, all can be helped with a little bit of laughter. I have a friend whose husband died, and she said what turned her around from reliving that fact, was sitting down and watching reruns of I Love Lucy. She said it felt healing to be able to laugh, and take her mind off of the painful sadness.

If you are anything like me, something may happen, and I feel that my life is crumbling around me; but after a little time has passed, I can look back to see the reason why that event happened. I went through a divorce at 48, and I realized that it opened a path for me to discover my wonderful new faith tradition, The Science of Mind. It was like having a wonderful family all around me. It breathed Spirituality back into my life.

Laughing often brings you back to life and adds to your wellness and healthy outlook on life. Feel the feelings of those low moments in life, and be aware of the people in your life who care about you. Think of all the people you have nurtured in your lifetime, and allow yourself to be nurtured as well.

"If you observe nature at work. you will see that the least effort is expanded. Grass doesn't try to grow; it just grows. Fish don't try yo swim, they just swim. Birds don't try to fly; they just fly."

Deepak Chopra,           "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success"

What do you do to bring joy and laughter into another person's life?

Do you allow yourself to be nurtured as you nurture others?

Life is short, use it wisely by living, loving and laughing hardily!

Light, Love and Laughter,

Rev Sandy Smith

 WHY WORRY?                                          "Worry is the dark room where negatives are developed."                                                                 Raymond Charles Barker,      -- The Power of Decision Oh that hamster wheel late at night, just spinning with all of the things that happened yesterday, and the things on your calendar that you still need to accomplish. Will the wheel never stop? How do you dismount from the wheel?  I have discovered that worrying about the past is pointless. If it was an accident, I cannot undo what happened. I may think of it as a learning experience as to what I might do the next time to avoid an accident. As to the future, it hasn't happene...

 RELEASE THE LONELY     "To have a good friend you must be one."                                         --  Ralph Waldo Emerson This time of year can magnify loneliness, especially if you have made a recent move. It's the time of year to let the people you love know that you care. If you are thinking about asking someone out to coffee, follow through on the idea. Life is too short to let the gift of your life go by, keeping yourself to yourself. Spread the kindness. If you notice that someone in your neighborhood has just moved in, try bringing some cookies by. Think of all the possibilities you have to make new friends and to make new memories. Life is a chance to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Life is a gift, that's why we call it the present. "The message of the Christ is unconditional love, non-judgement, forgiveness, brotherhood, peace an...

 GOD IS GOOD, AND GOOD IS GOD " Love leads the way. That saying is a reminder to keep in contact with our higher power and share the the load when we need to. When I find myself wondering what to do next, or I have a challenge that elbows its way into my life, those are the very times when connecting with The Creative Intelligence of  God giudes me  to the solution." Life's Garden Grows,      --Sandra Lindsey Smith Ralph Waldo Emerson says that, " Love is a synonym for God ." Other synonyms are Peace, Truth, Kindness, and many more. The Dahli Lama says that, " Kindness and Compassion are my religion."   It doesn't really matter who says it, the meaning is still the same; treat others the way you would like to be treated.  It is said that plants and animals thrive when they are spoken to kindly (A little food and water are also nice). I always speak to my African Violets and tell them how lovely they are, and how shiny their leaves are. All th...
