A Thought to Give Special Time To

Presuming you found your special spot and have become used to going to it and sitting quietly I will share with you some further ideas on taking time to meditate. So many people today can see their private thinking time as equal to church time. Certainly one can find God in all the majestic purposes: mountains, seashore, blue skies, babies’ smiles, starry nights, butterflies and so on.
Sometimes good thoughts come when you are not in church–for some it always happens this way. Good thoughts are important for your well-being. No one ever said you had to find peace and happiness in church only.
Go to your special spot. Get comfortable. Breathe deeply in and out for a few times. Go over the good things that have happened today. Feel good about them by saying to yourself, “Oh I am so glad that happened” or something like that. Look at each one and see why it made you feel good, who you were with, and where it happened. If you feel like it you could even right it down.
Now do the same thing with anything that happened that you could have handled better. Perhaps you forgot to say “Thank you” for a kind word. Maybe you answered someone back with a sharp reply. Also look closely and see what happened, why and with whom.A pattern will begin to emerge. Do this for a few days and you will begin to figure out the next steps in this process. Remember what is past is gone, what is future hasn’t happened yet. We only have the now to make things better and meditating on our lives is the first step to making the world a better place for you and all you come in contact with.
So it is good to go to your special place and to think over your day or week or past time.
