Coat of Many Colors Upon going to sleep at night and waking up in the morning I take 5 intentional minutes to clear my restless mind. I start and end my day by appreciating the pillow my head lies upon, my bed and covers, my husband beside me. I am conscious of the wonderful feeling of being snuggly and warm. Then I start bringing in thoughts of the wonderful blessings my life is filled with. My wonderful family, experiences and events, people I come into contact with, my pets, my job, my home, opportunity to learn and grow etc. Realizing just how miraculous and wonderful my life is. My sleep has been much more restful since I started this practice and I wake up periodically throughout my day and practice thoughts of gratitude for many different reasons. Surrounding myself with loving thoughts and appreciating my life. I am wearing my coat of many colors. I wear my coat of many colors with pride and practice remembering that I am wearing it. Throughout the day as the mundane frustrating fearful things come up I become aware of my coat of many colors. Junebug you inspired me this morning, thank you!!! Junebug your girls are precious! Wow..I am looking forward to getting to know your story. Upon sleeping and waking it is good practice to think about your coat of many different colors (as you did when you thought about your precious girls) and as we travel throughout our day and start to feel guilty or bad about something remember your girls and how they appreciate the simple things in life. Appreciate our coat of many different colors. Let's live life simply as possible, because when we take care of ourself by eliminating thoughts that sabotauge our feeling good effort we are better equipped to reach out and assist others...ZUMBA!!!!! TOWANDA!!!!!!!!!!!
