Everyday is a NEW day!

This is the perfect example of how great God is. Everyday is a new day. If you have ever watched the movie "Ground Hog Day" with Bill Murray you know that living the same day over and over again would be pure torture. That is why God created day and night. We rest at night to renew our bodies, minds and souls. That way we can greet each morning with a fresh set of eyes. Have you ever started a puzzle, a really big puzzle, and after working on it you just can't seem to see any pieces that fit together. Once you take a break and come back to the puzzle you see it with new eyes and suddenly you see lots of pieces that fit together.
If you ever feel stuck in a rut, take a break. Get outside for awhile. Take a walk. Take a nap. Walk away from whatever it is that is bothering you. Next talk to God. He will be listening. You may just need to vent. This is a task that I have had to learn to do. Especially now that I am a single mother and I have no other adult at home during the "meltdown" times. You know; before dinner, before bed, in the morning before church. I have had to create a kid free zone for myself. I take a time out whenever I need it.
I was talking today to a gal who has ovarian cancer. She has two small boys and the cancer has come back after she had a complete hysterectomy last year. She said that she still finds herself getting short with her boys sometimes and then she stops and realizes that there is no good in it. She looks at life in a different way now. She lives life out loud.
Doug and I knew that his health was poor. But you would have never known it by the way he lived. We embraced every day with fresh eyes. I have gotten a lot of comments about the picture I chose for the blog. Everyone loves it. To me the picture says "Living Life Outloud". His expression, his pose, are awesome. Just as Doug was.

Have comfort in knowing that tomorrow brings a new day,

Live Life Outloud!
