Today is a day of color... color can mean many things. Hot pink - is it really hot?... green with envy - are you really green?... icy blue - is it really cold? Yes, we can use color to describe our life and moods. With that in mind, what color is our world today? The answer is it can be any color that we wish it to be. You and I know a little secret. It is a secret that we can share with our friends. Things in our life are not always as they appear to be and that is our secret. Everything that is outside of ourselves is an appearance. Appearances are facts and facts are continuously changing. How we perceive those appearances depends upon how we feel on the inside. If we are sad, then our little world might feel a little dim. If we are happy, then our world is bright and cheery. It is all up to us... it has always been up to us. How we perceive our world is based upon our choices... being sad... being happy. So let us choose to be happy for this day and all the days that will that are to come. We can have a world filled with brilliance if that is what we wish. We can create a life filled with success if that is what we wish. We can be filled with love and light if that is our choice. In the end, there is only one person that can direct our lives and that director is us. There is no one outside of ourselves that can direct how we should feel. There never has been anyone other than ourselves to direct our life's play. So today... just today... let us be color... let us be light... let us be energy! Can you feel it? All that great energy is moving all about us... in, around and through us. We shall allow ourselves to go with the flow... that wonderful flow of energy that is life... for we are the manifestation of that energy and oh, what a perfect manifestation we are. Do want to dance? Our thought for the day is: 'What you see is not all that I am and can be.'
