ANNE BRENTAR’S MORNING EMAIL

Easy to do things when life is treating you kindly, right?  It’s easy to eat right, exercise, have a great attitude, be kind to other people, take the time to listen and encourage when the sun is shining and there’s a rainbow in the sky, right?  Today’s task is a tough one.  I admit I’ve been slacking.  Not so easy to write when things aren’t going my way.  But I’ve made a decision.  I know, you’re probably thinking your luck is anything but good when I ask you to take a seat next to me on this roller coaster called life, but here goes.  Come on along!  Today’s challenge is to continue to be that wonderful person that I know you are on days when your life isn’t going so great.  And by the way, if you never have a tough minute, you are indeed my hero or you have the best attitude of anyone I’ve ever met and I’d love it if you took a minute to write me and tell me how you do it.

You are the Best and good things are coming your way and today is going to be a day filled with some choices for you.  I’m asking you to choose the high road when your spirit just might be feeling a bit low.  You get to walk with your head held high when that’s the last thing you might feel like doing.  You get to be bright and cheery when you might not feel so cheery.  It’s onward and upward.  I did a test.  I will admit this has been a tough time for me (my “Blue Period”)–just like an artist.  Hey, no snickering.  Been spending some time on introspection–at least that’s what I was telling myself.  When you feel down, you might need a minute or two to yourself, but the best way out of the blue funk is to look outside yourself.  Find someone you can help.  Look for a great cause.  Get your friends involved.  What an amazing difference it makes!  When you change the focus to someone who needs your help, you can then focus on everything that’s you do have and realize how very blessed you are each and every day.  Think you’re tough enough to take the challenge?  I know you are–and so am I!  Make me proud!  Hope I make you proud, too!

PS  I promise that if you come back for tomorrow’s Morning Email, I will make you laugh or at least smile.  You make me smile every day!  Your are the Best!  Thank you!
