DANCE LIKE NOBODIES WATCHING

Each Morning when we wake we are faced with 2 choices, to be in a good mood or to be in a bad mood. To choose the later is to set our ship towards rocks but to set our mood as a good mood, we can dodge the rocks and sail peacefully on.
I am reminded of a story I read in a e mail once.
A gentleman who owned a restaurant always chose each morning to be in a good mood. He was very positive, always had a good word to say to everyone and was very popular. His philosophy was that he chose how to react to situations, he chose how people would affect his life and his bottom line was that he chose how to live his life.
One day he forgot to latch the back door to his restaurant and robbers came in a shot him while they were emptying his safe. He was found quickly and rushed to hospital and after 18 hours of surgery and intensive care he returned to his restaurant after his recovery.
Someone asked him about what had happened. He said that when he was lying on the floor his first thought was that he should have locked the back door but he then dismissed that and decided to live not die. The paramedics were good to him, telling him he would be fine but when he got to the emergency room the doctors and nurses were grim and he got scared because he could see in there faces that he was a gone man then he heard a nurse yelling at him “are you allergic to anything” and he yelled “Yes”. They staff all stopped working on him while they waited for him to reply. He said I am allergic to bullets and over the laughter he said “I choose to live now operate on me as though I am alive not dead”.
I choose from hereon in to
Work like I don’t need the money
Love like I have never been hurt
And Dance like nobody can see me

THANKS
Throughout my life, I have never really developed many “good” habits. I am a fairly undisciplined person, of course I blame this on being a Scorpion, my upbringing, my mother, my school and various others, cough cough.
I am going to begin giving thanks more often, in fact I might go as far as to think of someone to give thanks to each morning. Whether I actually verbalize this to them or whether I just send it to them telepathically, I will begin each day giving thanks to someone. Watch out, it might just be you and if it is, you will know it is for a good reason and that I am sincere in my gratitude. I have noticed a lot of takers around me, take, take, take and never giving a thought to thanking someone. I will be more grateful and bless what is I have. One of the first things to enter my senses upon waking will be one of gratitude.
