I am blessed with the knowledge each day, that my life is filled with love; that I have great love in my life. Like the new growth on trees in Spring, I am abundant in my love and in my life. I bless the love and the loved ones I have in my life, today and everyday.” – Pamela J. Leavey

Reflections: Seeing Rainbows

By: Pamela Leavey On: February 29, 2012 at 1:24 pm

When I look to the skies, I often see very magical formations in clouds like the one below that looks a bit like a rainbow colored lightening bolt seen through the the bare trees:

When I see rainbows, my heart lifts up to the heavens in a sort of communion with the universe that fills me with joy.

It’s so important to find joy in the little things in life, as I have noted here in my Daily Affirmation today, and my Food For Thought post yesterday.

We go through life sometimes in a very numb state of mind, in that we forgot to look to the skies for rainbows or stop and smell the flowers.

I learned a long time ago that in being in the moment, you place your heart and soul in alignment with the opportunity to experience and feel joy. To be in the moment takes constant work and practice on living with an open mind and an open heart.

Awakening to joy, seeing rainbows is a great balm to the soul when we learn to look to even the littlest things to fill our hearts and minds with love and gratitude.

Daily Affirmations: Grateful For The Little Things

Today, I will take time to be grateful for the little things that make each day special. Crocus blooming early in the garden, the river glistening in the sun, the birds singing in the trees, the ever chaging cycles of Mother Nature which inspire and awe me each day. ~~ Pamela J. Leavey

Today, I look to the colors of nature to remind me of how colorful and rich my own life is. I have been so blessed throughout my life, with the gift of not only colorful family and friends, but also a colorful and diverse life that has filled my soul with so much appreciation for all the colors of nature and inspires bountiful creative energy. I am grateful. ~~ Pamela J. Leavey
