A Holiday Muse

The Ten Signs and Symptoms of Inner Peace

1. A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fear based on past experience.

2. An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.

3. A loss of interest in judging other people.

4. A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.

5. A loss of interest in conflict

6. A loss of the ability to worry. (Curious idea huh? The “ability to worry” like it is rehearsed!)

7. Frequent overwhelming episodes of gratitude.

8. Increasing tendency to let things happen rather then control everything

9. An increased susceptibility to love, like it is a verb, and the uncontrollable urge to extend it.

10. An appreciation of the talents, strengths and gifts our Creator and creation has bestowed
upon us.

My comments:

And who is the enemy of this path to a harvest of contentment? 24/7 Cable News! Turn off the lathered up news that is all story and little information. Send the radio ranters home for the holidays. Walk the dog, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, write a letter. Take back the Tower of Babel from the Babylon of Media mavens and usher in an era of silence. Prosperity will spring forth from more silence and less rant. It always has.
