I was in a "Martha" frame of mind.  I felt overwhelmed with all my to-dos: housecleaning, errands, baking, and holiday "shoulds".   

And I was failing the biggest "should" of all: being of cheerful mind. 
              ----G. Hill 

My thoughts were running roughshod. Negativity, an unwanted squatter, was taking up residence in my head.  Anne Lamott once described her mind as a bad neighborhood, unsafe to go alone.  My mind was feeling like a dark alley.   I was singing a pitiful tune. My mind energy was low.
         ------G. Hill

A chorus of birds reminded me I needed a better song. 
-----G. Hill

The dark alley of my mind needed more light.
-----G. Hill

"Open the window of your mind. 
Allow the fresh air, new lights, 
And new truths to enter."
— Amit Ray

I went in search of fresh air of truths . . ..

We have control over energy, frequency, and vibration. 
Through meditation, mindfulness, 
and thought/affirmation exercises, 
we can alter our personal energy.
              -----Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr.

Mindful Affirmations

 God has filled my life with good things.  Psalm 103:1-5
The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want. Psalm 23:1
 God bestows grace around me. 2 Corinthians 9:8

Rivers of good will run through us.  
We only need to remove the negative clutter 
To reach a reservoir of life force.

My mind took a drink of fresh life force, and it quenched my parched soul.
G. Hill

I have a place where I can nest,
No need to be in Sunday's best. 
No matter age or what may be,
I'm His child . . . eternally. 
     -----G. Hill
