I want to offer a handful of them to you this morning.\u00a0 Each moment you are alive is a gem, shining through and containing earth and sky, water and clouds. ~ <i>Thich Nhat Hanh, Please Call Me By My True Names<\/i><\/p>\n<p>You wake up in the morning, and your purse is magically filled with 24 hours of un-manufactured tissue of the universe of your life. It is yours. It is the most precious of possessions. No one can take it from you. And no one receives either more or less than you receive. <i>~ Arnold Bennett<\/i><\/p>\n<p>When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive; to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love. <i>~ Marcus Aurelius<\/i><\/p>\n<p>To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy is to set our own conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them. ~ <i>Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. <i>~ Og Mandino<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Morning is an important time of day, because how you spend your morning can often tell you what kind of day you are going to have. ~ <i>Lemony Snicket, The Blank Boo<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Be willing to be a beginner every single morning. <i>~ Master Eckhart<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself. <i>~ Henry David Thoreau, Walden <\/i><\/p>\n<p>Outside, there was that predawn kind of clarity, where the momentum of living has not quite captured the day. The air was not filled with conversation or thought bubbles or laughter or sidelong glances. Everyone was sleeping, all of their ideas and hopes and hidden agendas entangled in the dream world, leaving this world clear and crisp and cold as a bottle of milk in the fridge<i>. ~ Reif Larsen<\/i><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a finger snapping kind of day. <i>~ Coco J. Ginger<\/i><\/p>\n<p>We are living in a \u2018one morning\u2019 world; we get up one morning and many things have changed! Tomorrow morning, there will be another \u2018one morning! <i>~ Mehmet Murat Ildan<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Breathe in morning, breathe out possibility. <em>~ Janice Taylor<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And&#8230;for those who want to let go of the excess weight, extra pounds; start with happiness.\u00a0 Make the journey a joyous one.<\/p>\n<p><i>For more #MorningHappiness, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/30757154492\/\" target=\"_blank\">Our Lady of Weight Loss: Facebook\/Kick in the Tush Club<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><b>Spread the word\u2013NOT the icing!<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><b>Janice<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>PS:\u00a0 Dictated but not read by OLWL.\u00a0 Excuse all typos!<br \/>\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<br \/>\nFor the best life, wellness and weight loss wisdom, visit Janice:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\/\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\" target=\"_blank\">Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a><br \/>\nsign up for the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/maildogmanager.com\/surveys\/OurLadyofWeightLoss\/optin1.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Kick in the Tush Club<\/em><\/a> e-letter<br \/>\njoin and chat: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/30757154492\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kick in the Tush Club\/Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Further my yesterday&#8217;s post, &#8220;3 Steps to Waking Up Happy,&#8221; here today a dozen &#8220;morning&#8221; quotes that can serve as morning affirmations, as well.
