This week I heard a motivational speaker named Lori Salerno who has to be one of the most enthusiastic people I've ever met. She spoke on celebrating life. So many times we get so caught up in the seriousness of life that we don't enjoy ourselves even on our down time. Going to the gym, doing hobbies, or being with friends isn't fun because we are constantly letting other pressures, our work, etc keep us from really having fun. We need to realize that we create the environment we walk in everday. A fruit of the spririt is joy. Be joyful. There are too many things in this life to enjoy and too short a time we are here. Don't let life pass you by. Take advantage of the opportunities before you and celebrate life!

Yup,

You are so right Vicsy. We need to just chill sometimes. It's amazing how many burdens we carry around daily and wonder why we are so stressed out. We try to be the loner, to pretend we can handle it all cause we are "strong." But God says none, no not one burden belongs to us, or can be handled by us. He cries,...If you will just have the courage lay it all down at my feet, I will take it up and you will be filled with joy and a lightness like never before. Sometimes it boggles me how we just pile on the junk when it doesn't EVER make it better. The speaker was definitely right, walk in a spirit of Joy!

Thanx
