Happy Today Tune Into Joy
I don't want to charge into this day. I don't want a challenge. Challenges are made in my mind. I don't want to see how much I can get done. Things may get done, but not at the expense of my aliveness. I don't want to look for what's wrong - what can be improved or fixed. I want to enjoy today. I want to unwrap each moment like a present. If I don't look at the joy that is always already present, I will forever be looking to fix something in order the get that joy. I can't make joy or get joy, but I can perceive the joy of presence. Happiness requires effort or the confluence of circumstances to meet my ideas of what is good or right. I will not be seduced by the normalcy of harried thinking. I am here now and that is more than enough.

Happy Cinnamon Toast Day
When I was young I loved cinnamon toast. It was a comfort food. We used margarine, white bread, sugar and cinnamon (that was probably years old.) I loved it. I anticipated the first bite as the smell of the treat wafted though the kitchen – then that first scrumptious bite.
Today I had the new improved version of my childhood treat. Ezekiel bread, organic butter, relatively fresh cinnamon and local honey. Wow how delicious. The smells and taste seemed the same yet I enjoyed a much healthier adaptation of my comfort food. Try it. Upgrade the ingredients to your old favorite childhood recipes.
Honey and cinnamon have many health benefits, there’s even a honey and cinnamon way to lose weight. http://www.benefits-of-honey.com/cinnamon-and-honey.html

Happy Surrender Day
How do I surrender? Everyone wants to let go, but how do you do that? Here’s a process to help you let go and to have an easier day.
The EZ U Process
Get out of the School of Hard Knocks!
Step 1: I admit that today, in this moment, my life is a struggle.
Step 2: I am willing to consider the possibility that my life can be easier.
Step 3: I dedicate my mind and heart to discovering an easier way to perceive and create my life.
Step 4: I am willing to be aware of any conscious or hidden need to suffer or struggle.
Step 5: Anything other than ease is fear.
Step 6: I release my need to control and fix this situation.
Step 7: I relax my body and become aware of my body’s needs, then attend to them.
Step 8: I face my emotions.
Step 9: I surrender my situation, problem or feeling to GUS (God/Universe/Spirit). Imagine yourself looking at a vast star filled sky. Take your mind off the situation and go to this image of expansion. Lose yourself - just for a moment - in the grandeur of the universe. (Use any image that works for you such as a blue cloud filled sky or the ocean)
Step 10: I write down any reaction or feeling I have as a result of letting go (or reflect silently).
By this time you should feel more present and lighter. Happy Surrender Day.
