Today, I choose to be happy without reason. No matter what the circumstances I know they will change. What remains the same is my inner intention which is powerfully focused and deeply ingrained.
I see beauty wherever I go. I accept life in all its grace. Everything I need is graciously bestowed. Money comes to me with ease. Gratitude brings greater peace as I allow myself to love for the sake of loving, to live for the sake of living, and to be because I am.
Blessings,
