I received this from www.wellforjourney.org.
A friend of mine is the founder. Check them out.

I have shared some of their quotes in the past. I was saving htis one for Good Friday.

HOW TO FAST:

Fast from judging others; Feast on Christ dwelling in them.
Fast from pessimism; Feast on optimism.
Fast from words that pollute; Feast on phrases that affirm.
Fast from anger; Feast on patience.
Fast from worry; Feast on Divine Providence.
Fast from complaining; Feast on appreciation.
Fast from bitterness; Feast on forgiveness.
Fast from anxiety; Feast on hope.
Fast from yourself; Feast on a silent heart.


(Adapted from a Lenten offering by Rev. Jeffrey S. Dauses)

I love the final one. I definitely need to fast from myself. Being silent with God restores my soul and calms my anxious heart. I think if we start with that one, some of the others will soon follow.

Life is about attitude and choices. We can choose to do any of the above. Why not make the Godly choices?

Because it ain't always that easy. Is it? But we have to give it a whirl and at least keep trying.

That was awesome Dotsie!

It IS so true that 99% of life is how we look at it. What we chose to believe, what we chose to focus on.

Why does it take so many years to get wise? Ha.

chatty, I'm grateful for all the little sayings, quotes, prayers, pictures,etc. that fly around the internet. People who may have never been privy to this information now have it at their fingertips. It would be interesting to learn how many lives these emails have changed.
