“Today expect something good to happen to you no matter what occurred yesterday. Realize the past no longer holds you captive. It can only continue to hurt you if you hold on to it. Let the past go. A simply abundant world awaits.” ~ Sarah Breathnach, Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy

Start your day right by flushing your self of the negatives. Then smile. Keep your back straight, hold your head high.

You may be down right now, but a little push in the positive direction serves to kick start what can be a long, depressing, stressful day.

You can get by when you change your attitude towards living each day.  Live in a space of thankfulness.

Others have shorter life spans, and fell short of counting their blessings.

Took this photo right before sunrise (which only peeked a bit through heavy clouds) at Sta.Cruz, Davao del Sur. You can view more of my seascapes here.
