Today's thought is:
Life
Make each day count! Give yourself to every dawn of renewed hope. Look for love, forgiveness, and righteousness. Don't squander this day on cynicism, hate, envy, fault-finding, pessimism, gossip, doubt, or anger. Let the days of life not add up to years, but to moments of joy and love and happiness.
Doesn't everyone deserve this? Don't I deserve this?
Today, I will take time out to cherish my life.
I was once given a lesson with an orange. It is a lesson I treasure and remember often. Whenever life gets crazy and I'm feeling rushed and overwhelmed I remember my orange. If for some reason I don't remember it, my friend gently asks me the question: Where is your orange? The lesson of the orange is to stay in the moment. When I stay fully in the moment, using all my senses than life becomes only moments which I can get through without being overwhelmed. Today I am grateful for the lesson of the orange.

hmmm I eat at least one navel orange a day... I always have one around 10:30 a.m. as a snack. Its one of the quiet little "me" times I take during the day to just sit and enjoy something purely because its wonderful. I love navel oranges, and that one little moment I spend each day eating one really brightens my day. I know that sounds goofy, but its hard to be depressed after you eat an orange because they are so dang good!
So, maybe I am learning the lesson of the orange, and didn't even know it!
Dang it, did I miss something? How is the orange the lesson?
I hope you never stop posting. I love your blog.
Have a grrrrrreat day!
You sure did hate the orange lesson at first ....am glad you came to love it just as much as I do. Amen for all the oranges in our life :)
Ha, an orange. I have not heard of this. As I look to my left here, below one of my monitors I have this beauty sitting there. It is bright and I am sure so sweet. It stands out from the dark mahogany of my desk. It is one of the brightest elements on my desk (just realizing this) -- yet all day I failed to recognize its presence.
Thanks for this share today, funny how my HP wants me to find His messages in my daily life through others.
It is good to learn from fruit!
I really like this thought of the orange. I left a comment here yesterday but it seems that blogger ate it - it was taking a really really long time to go through.
You sound so good rex - how many more days?
