Celebrate your life and hear your spirit sing.
..Elisabeth L.

"What's to celebrate?" some people ask.  We all get our fill of the cynics.  Their negativity can weigh down our spirits.  But we don't have to let them control how we see our lives or theirs.  To keep our own perceptions positive, it helps to detach from the naysayers.  We will improve our chances if we consciously focus on gratitude for even the tiny blessings rather than on whatever might be wrong.

Becoming grateful is the strongest, safest means of feeling good.  Not only does it readily alter our mood, but it changes our perspective on every detail of our lives.  To be thankful rather than "thankless" is a small price to pay for unqualified happiness coupled with serenity.

We've all known people who radiate a singing spirit.  They love life, themselves, and others.  We seek their company.  We can be like those people for the travelers sharing our journey.  It's simple, "Be With Who You Are" and share your many gifts and talents.
 
 
Hope is the thing with feathers
that perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
**Emily Dickins

For me, knitting is me humming. 
We often hum and sing to ourselves because it makes us feel content.  It is the melody itself that makes us feel good and fills us with hope - words and thoughts do not matter.
Hope is the melody that keeps us going, the hum that continues even when there are no words to the song.
The melody may be calm or exciting, but most of all it brings with it beauty and a sense of peace.  Hope can overcome the need for words and thoughts and promises.
