A Fresh Start

How do you get a fresh start?
-Everyday of our lives can be a fresh start if we wish.

-Each new morning is another gift from God when we can begin again to clean our house within and to live our lives better than we did before.

-Each new day is a fresh beginning to choose love, create joy, spread laughter, help others, and give something back to the world.

-Each new moment is another chance to share a hug, a smile, a compliment, or an act of kindness.

It doesn’t matter how many mistakes we have made, wrong turns we have taken, or days we have wasted. We all can begin again this morning, this day, and right now. God is there waiting to help us to live and love as we were meant to. 

There is an old saying that goes, "If you wake up breathing, you have another chance." Don’t waste your chance today. Make your fresh start now. Wake up this morning and say, "Good morning God! Thank you for my life!" Then go out and live it in joy, love, and oneness with Him. Open your heart, soul, and mind to the love, goodness, and delight that is all around you. Share all the wonder, talent, compassion, and uniqueness that is within you. Help to build a better world with the life you live in it. And seize each new day as a fresh start to live and love.
