Look Forward

 Thought for the Day:  If you think you don’t have much to look forward to…start thinking of new things!             

Looking Forward-Thought of the Day

 If you wake up each morning and think you have nothing to look forward to, then you don’t have anything to look forward to.  Our thoughts make us who we are. 

 

If you are not spiritual, it is more difficult.  If you are spiritual…sometimes it is still difficult, but you have hope. Hope of a better life. The belief that there is an opportunity to grow, somehow, from the challenges that you face comes from believing that there is a plan for your life.

 

Right now you are living one part of that plan.  There is more to come, and the learning that you can experience may be more than one type.  You may have already demonstrated more patience than you ever believed possible.  You may have decided that a little dust here and there is not the end of the world.

 

The question at hand is WHAT do you look forward to?  If your answer is a bit shaky, well, think of things that you can control.  Do you look forward to working in your garden?  Reading a good book? Working on a hobby? 

 

If you cannot remember the last time you did something that you enjoyed, then YOU need to change YOU.  The internet is an amazing tool that can allow you to communicate with people near and far.  You can communicate with people who are experiencing a circumstance like yours, or maybe their situation is more difficult than yours.  It is often said that if you put your problems up against three other people’s problems, you would take yours back.  There are many people out there who have challenges that are more difficult than yours, but somehow they seem to not be as affected.

 

Learn to look forward to each day.  Every morning presents a new opportunity for growth.  You can do this!  Send us your thoughts through Contact Us.  Let us know what gets you stuck. 

Let’s get you unstuck!

Thought For The Day

  • Keep Going
    "If you're going through hell, keep going."Winston Churchill When it feels like you are living your worst nightmare, you probably are. After all, for most people experience is what you get, when you weren’t expecting the result you were looking for. Everyone has a different level of spirituality. I personally think that being spiritual is very helpful when we are doing our…

  • The Relationship Between Humans And Loud Music
    While out walking our dogs with a neighbor on a warm, autumn Sunday morning, we discussed plans for the day. She mentioned she and her husband were going to the theater that evening to hear a New Orleans jazz trombone player and his ensemble. My husband’s ears perked up, as…

  • What is a probate and why do I want to avoid it?
    Many times, clients come into my office stating that they need to have Last Will and Testaments done and at the same time, they tell me they want to avoid probate of their estate after they die. These clients are usually very adamant that they do not want the government to get their assets, they do not want their families…

Testimonials

I would like to comment on Sally as an occupational therapist, from our experience with my wife Janet who suffered a very crippling stroke 15 years ago. Janet had therapy in the hospital where I could see no advance in her condition. After the hospital discharge we were recommended to another physical therapist in Port Charlotte, and this also produced no changes that we could see. Janet, my wi...

  • General Florida Medicaid Information
    General Florida Medicaid Information With all of the changes that are taking place in healthcare we need to realize that Medicaid and Medicare are changing too. What we know at this time is that Medicaid is continuing to remain in place for patients from age 0- 20, and will pay for rehabilitation during that time period, when prescribed by their treating medical professionals.

  • Managing Medications
    Managing Medications It is becoming more frequent to see medications distributed in blister packs, rather than in pill bottles. Skilled nursing facilities and other medical facilities tend to use them to avoid medication distribution errors. For the elderly, this packaging style can be very difficult to manage, if the person has problems with fine motor or hand coordination and/or arthritis. If you…

  • Do You Have Breathing Problems?
    Do You Have Breathing Problems? I think that we would all agree that breathing is essential to living.  When our bodies do not get enough oxygen, what happens? The most common reaction to a lack of oxygen is a sensation of panic, because our brain is very smart.  Our brains tell our lungs to respond with small, quick breaths to compensate for the feeling that we do not have…
