When we wake up each morning and take a breath we are inviting the gift of life that has been stowed upon us by our Greatest Friend.  The Creator of life has determined that we have this day to keep moving forward and growing in love.  That often stands in contrast to my head which tells me I have a list of to-dos to get done.  God’s message of life is simple–be love, give love, receive love, grow in love.  The circumstances that we face over the course of the day are opportunities to find love and find ways of being love.  Friendship is one of the beautiful qualities and experiences that we cannot live without.  I have learned more about love from my dearest friends just by their presence than all the books and stories of love.  When I am apt to beat myself over the head about something I think I did wrong, I have to stop and ask myself: “If this were happening to a friend of yours, how would you speak to her?”  This encourages me to see it through the eyes of love and compassion instead of my ego’s mind.  God is my ultimate friend which is why I have these dates every morning! 😉  My prayer for us today is that we be open to seeing how we can be a friend to ourselves in our conversation/evaluation of ourselves.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
