Sometimes it seems that either you have too much to do or not enough to do. Unlike Goldilocks, you do not find the soup, the chair, the bed that is "just right." You don't favor having too much to do, nor do you favor having the day before you a long terrain with not enough in it. You are always looking for the right balance in your days.
When you are over-busy, you long for an idle day. When you have an idle day, you long for more to do.
It is not always easy to please yourself, beloveds. Make the most of the day you have. Decide that whatever the schedule of your day, you will enjoy it to the fullest. Have you forgotten about joy?
The grass always seems to be greener than where you stand. Dissatisfaction is rampant. You could just as easily have satisfaction. Why would you settle for anything less? Wring joy from what is before you now. Wring joy from life rather than displeasure. Why is it that what is right here right now isn't what you want? Are you always looking for something else other than what you have right now?
Keep Me with you. Let Me be the background of your landscape or seascape. Begin to look for Me everywhere and certainly in what is right before you.
Make today the best over-busy day you have had to date, or make today the best idle day you have had to date. Fill it with love. Fill it with Me. Acknowledge that every day is a play day. A little intention from you will go a long way. Make today a most wonderful day. Who is it up to really? You.
You star in this play you rehearse in life. You walk across the stage. You are the main character. You speak your lines. You listen. Your life on stage is colorful. Speak your lines with relish. You are ever new. Be joyful. Have alacrity.
There is no time, and yet there is no time to waste. This is the day to give yourself happiness. Perhaps this is the day to allow yourself happiness. What is to prevent it but some thought of yours? Perhaps think less.
I say you deserve happiness. I want you to have it. Why don't you?
Take this offering of today and make it wonderful. If this is a most routine day, you can still make it wonderful. Today if you wash dishes, enjoy washing those dishes. Whatever you are doing, decide to enjoy it.
Be My child who enjoys the sun and enjoys the rain. Be My child who enjoys.
Be not so grave. Daily life is not so serious as you think. Make daily life a lark. No matter how hard at work you are, make today a play day.
Decide in advance what kind of a day you are going to have. Isn't that what you have been doing? Have you perhaps said: "Just another day," as if you had a gripe with it. The day hasn't even happened, and you have already come to conclusions about it. The point is that this is another day. It is not the same day as yesterday. It is a whole new day ready for you to walk through.
Join Me in joy. Come along with Me. Talk to Me. Point out the sights to Me. Tell Me how much you like the world you live in and your life in it. Point out to Me what you like. Surely, you wouldn't spend Our time together pointing out what you don't like. Greet this new day with anticipation. It is before you now, and you have just one run-through. Make this day.
