Inspiration!  Look for it today.  Widen your viewpoint to take everything into account today.  John Ruskin said, “Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.”  This attitude can apply to both outer weather and also [...]

A diplomat says something nice that makes someone’s day today!  Could that person be you? Beauty inspires you and you need R and R. Spend time with your partner or people with whom time passes happily; you have that choice.    A persistent sense of running into roadblocks permeates the big picture, so spend time working [...]

You are the proverbial busy bee today, zipping around from thing to thing.  Paper work, details, arrangements, appointments! You can feel a bit critical of others who don’t seem to share your work ethic or operate with your efficiency.  Be grateful and be aware that others are doing their job. Albert Einstein said, “My [...]

This is wonderful day for men, authority figures and assertive activity.  A new outlook, purpose and enthusiasm is present, and you can go forward!  You also have a sense of humor about life and you’re willing to joke around.  Tell stories that encourage yourself and others.  Remember Abraham Lincoln’s words, “I feel like the [...]
