Let your days unfold.
Do you ever wake up cranky? I think we all do. Some people I know just assume that is the tone for the day. It doesn't have to be. I am learning that if we just shake it off and focus on something else, the day has a fighting chance of turning out o k. We can use this technique during the day, too. Make a ripple, shake it off, see what happens.

Don't cut what can be untied
I don't know about you, but when I am mad or hurt or both, I just want to be done with the person or situation causing this. Sometimes, it is just easier to let go completely rather than to allow, or take the time to fix it. The problem of being done, is that I might be losing something worthwhile. I believe the saying goes: " Cutting off your nose despite your face." Another way of looking at this is to ask myself, would I want someone to do that to me. Generally, the answer is "no." I guess this all comes down to being patient and treating a situation or person the way I want to be treated and realizing there is good in everything (mostly.) Make a ripple, think it over, see what happens.

Thank a friend who believes in you!
The other day, a friend of mine told me I was awesome. I had just been bemoaning something I wish I had done in college. It made me feel really good, and because it was a text, I saved it. I have read that text several times, but I have not told the friend how much it lifted me up. Sometimes we forget how important these things are. I try to lift people up, but am not as gracious in thanking them for what they have done for me. Today I will talk to my friend and tell her how much it meant that she believes in me. We all know how it can turn a really bad day into a good one, and boost our self-esteem. Make a ripple, thank that friend, see what happens.

If something is in your way,
Find your way over or around it. It seems, lately, that certain people want to keep people from voting. It is a fact. It seems like certain people are wanting to limit educational opportunities for many people. This is too, a fact. What are we willing to do about this? I am expecting we will find new and different ways to deal with these small-minded individuals. Money, while providing power, does not always win. I am sure you saw the lines and lines of people waiting to vote. As busy as we are, we are still smart enough to know when we are being duped. Make a ripple, find your way, see what happens.
