blessings in disguise

Most of my major disappointments have turned out to be blessings in disguise. So whenever anything bad does happen to me, I kind of sit back and feel, well, if I give this enough time, it'll turn out that this was good, so I shouldn't worry about it too much.

Bring on the happy mood! :D

Around this time last year, I wrote a blog post entitled lift your mood with music. I wrote about the impact music can have on our emotional state of being. Click on the link above if you would like to (re)visit that post. In it, I shared one of my 'happy songs' with you. Today, I want to share another song that equally lifts my mood and spirits. Give it a listen and let its happy energy fill you!

give thanks...

Give thanks for sorrow that teaches you pity; for pain that teaches you courage -- and give exceeding thanks for the mystery which remains a mystery still - the veil that hides you from the infinite, which makes it possible for you to believe in what you cannot see.
