They may be hard to see but if you're willing to look you'll see that even in bad times gifts abound!

Here they are in short form:

1. Gift of Choice: You have a choice, even in bad times...which road are you going to take? Your response to bad times is always YOUR choice. Will you see what's wrong or what could be very right?

2. Gift of Starting Over: You get a chance to go back to square one and ask yourself again, "What do I really want?" And then you give yourself another chance to go for it!

3. Gift of Perspective: You get the opportunity to see where you have given away your power, either to a person, idea, and/or belief. Who or what hasn't been serving your HIGHEST good? You also get a chance to remind yourself of what really matters. Has your attention been on things that in the end really don't matter much?

4. Gift of Faith: Has the pressure made you forget to have faith in your creator (God, Universe, etc.) and that whatever happens is always for your highest good? What might the Universe be trying to tell you?

5. Gift of Power: perhaps the greatest gift you get from making it through rough times is the gift of knowing your own power, courage and strength. After all, if it weren't for "bad times" you would never know all the good stuff you're made from! And that's a gift! nn

After all, there’s plenty going on in the world, in celebrity lives, in the constant push of the media, to keep one engaged or preoccupied. Which is great, if such brings you joy. But if, on the contrary, you find you are living someone else’s life via trending, or depressed and distressed by

I have a new cell phone. I didn’t want a new cell phone; I was perfectly happy with my 2020 cell phone, but it wasn’t happy with me. Its connector charging port was ailing. Failing, actually, the service tech told me. And besides, it was an old phone, what did I expect? Old? This to a woman who is more than content, read “thrilled,” to wear outdated fashions just because she likes them. And would willingly keep computers way past their supposed “shelf life.” Sigh.
