It is so easy to be overwhelmed by the depressing news of the the world. That would be a terrible mistake.... God gave each of us many gifts to bring the good, the true, the beautiful and the loving to our world. It is good to start with a smile. How we get up in the morning is one of the most important acts in our day. If the first thoughts are tense worries, about money, tasks, tests, commitments... we will be carrying a heavy load all day long and wonder why we are tired and lacking in enthusiasm. A better way is to realize what a gift this new day is... to thank God for this gift that no one else can give and which is a sign of the love of the Creator of the Universe for one of his precious children. The second task is to smile at the face in the mirror. If you cannot smile at yourself, the world will be deprived of the wonderful gift you have to give....
Go now and be today's sunshine... no one else in the world can do that
