A friend sent me a link to this today.
Watch the video, be moved and inspired. Feel joy.
And buy a pack of Stride gum in gratitude.

It's a good Monday
The sun is shining, it's warm. I took the baby outside to play in the grass. Little guy knows what's good for him - fresh air and sunshine - you could tell he was in heaven and so grateful to be out of the house!
My middle child puked in the car this morning on the way to school - which created a reason for me to haul out the shampoo-er and clean the carpet, seats and floormats in the car. Then, since I had to air the car out anyway so it all could dry, I went ahead and Windex-ed the insides of the windows - something that NEVER gets done! So nice to be able to see out the windows now and scrape off all the stickers that my sons have plastered all over them next to their seats!
My phone rang 3 times already today. First was a friend I've been missing, second was a prospective client asking for additional information - sounds promising!!! Third was a reporter saying she wants to interview me for a story.
So, let's see : sunshine, happy baby, clean car, friend, money, publicity. And middle child is feeling better too....

Spiritual Needs and Happiness
Considering spiritual needs and happiness.
The need to feel unique, the need to feel a sense of purpose, the need to feel connected with others and with something bigger than me, and the need to understand where I fit in to the big picture.
Find ways to meet these needs in my own life and to look for ways to help others recognize and meet these needs in their own lives.
Celebrate the things that make me different, that make me special - even the littlest things.
Observe others and notice their beauty and uniqueness.
Work to identify my gifts and talents, and use them to the best of my ability as often as possible.
Look for ways to encourage others as they discover, exercise and grow their own talents.
Look for opportunities to make connections with others and with God.
Live a life that expresses gratitude.
Consider the issues that face the world and ask myself what I can do to make a difference in my small part of that big world. Don't live in a bubble. Keep my own challenges, problems and weaknesses in perspective.
Aim for this every day.
