If this minute sucks...

take a breath.  Our lives can change in the next second.  What I am learning is that the way I think influences what happens in my life.  If I am feeling negative, that is what happens next.  If I remain positive and grateful, that is what happens next.   Sometimes, I think life is just one long test.  But what I know for sure is that with the right attitude (and I know it is hard to maintain sometimes!) things can turn around in the next second or minute.  So, take a breath with me.  It is good to breathe even and especially in the worst of times, but when things turn around and are good, the breath is magical.
