Greetings to all of my wonderful Friends,
I hope you are all ready for Christmas and that you are relaxed and focused on all the positive aspects of this Holiday Season.

Think of all the wonderful things you can do to make this is Christmas to remember. Take time to call old friends and wish them a Happy Holiday. Bake cookies and take them to a friend or someone you love. This is a time to give, it does not have to be a gift of great value but a gift of love. I know that many people do not have the money to spend on expensive gifts this year and that times have been tough for many people. Give your time and your love to others this year.

Thank you to the People who Save Lives Each Day! It's Not Just a Job!
Many of us do not think about the many wonderful people who are out there helping save lives and encounter tragic life and death situations each day. I am amazed that they are able to stay positive through all the drama they experience each day. Today I would like to give thanks to these people.
Who am I talking about? Fire men and women Police men and women, Emergency Medical Technicians, Doctor's and Nurses. They are people who must have pretty big hearts to be able to handle the situations they encounter every day. I have asked a few of these people, what it is that keeps them so positive? How can you stay positive each day even though you may have to hold a dieing child in your arms, or watch a person being pulled from an accident and give all you have to try to save this person's life and watch them die because there was nothing you could do that would save them.
The Answers I got were quite simple here are a few of them: Love was number one, I was told by many people I spoke with. Self love and love of others.
Another answer I received was: "I do this job because I love people and want to help people." How is it that you are able to stay so positive I asked? "I stay positive, by knowing that I can not help every one and I realize there are reasons for everything that happens. But I will continue to help as many people as I can each day". I was told this you have to let go of the thoughts of who you couldn't save and think about the ones that you are able to save. I was also told that by Letting go of what happens each day that it is much easier to be happy in this Job and in life.
I give thanks to all of those people who are so committed to helping other people. May you be blessed each day!

The reason I wrote about this today is to remind each of you how important other people are in our lives and to realize that you to can let go of those things that are not positive in your life and change them by loving your self and loving other people and valuing how wonderful life really is

The Power of Prayer
When I first heard this story I was so amazed at how the power of prayer worked. I don't listen to the news very often so I was quite surprised when my daughter told me this true story she had heard on the news channel located here in Memphis. A 92 year old woman was returning to her car after shopping as she got in her car a young man jumped into the passenger seat and demanded her money, she looked him in the eye and told him no! he then asked again for her money and again she said no! I will not give you my money. The man asked once more and got this reply from the 92 year old woman. She told him she would pray for him and started praying. The old woman prayed for the man that he would realize that what he was doing wrong. She then went on asking for forgiveness for this would be robber that he would change his ways. She then told the would be robber that he to needed to pray. He replied that he would pray as soon as he got home. The Woman then told him he did not have to wait till he got home and that he could pray anywhere. Soon the young would be robber was praying and thanked the old woman for changing his life and that he would never do this again. The old woman reached into her purse and pulled out a ten dollar bill and gave to the young man and told him not to use it for booze or drugs. The young man then departed the car.

Wow! I felt a tingle go down my spine when I was told this story. I wondered if I could have been as brave and have as much faith as this old woman had. I hope I never have to find out, and if so I hope I remember to pray.

Positive Affirmations for This Week!
I love and approve of myself, I look in the mirror to see someone who loves me looking back.
Each day my life is getting better, better and better. All of my needs are met and exceeded.
Wonderful things are now manifesting through the loving thoughts I send out.
I am in gratitude for this magnificent body I now have it is healthy and all my organs and cells are functioning perfectly.
Money flows to me from out of the blue.
I now attract happiness through my happy thoughts.
I release all thoughts that are not part of my higher self and replace them with loving ones.

By Saying positive affirmations each day I have found that I feel better about every aspect of my life. I hope that you too will take time to affirm the positive in your life.

One of the ways I have found that helps me to stay positive is while sitting at a red light in my car I will say I love you to the people who pass by me. I am sure that they are not reading my lips and if they are I hope that they will pass the love forward. It just makes me smile to say "I love you"!

As always thank you for taking the time to read "Staying on Track by Staying Positive" I wish you happiness in all you create this week.
