"Open the Wings of your Heart"

It is often difficult to be open at this time of year.
We tend to reserve our loving,
Generous hearts for those closest to us;
Our friends and family.

Even then, a plethora of factors
Create a sense of reserve; a reticence toward letting
Others “inside the castle”.

Don’t let this happen.
Be sure to fling the doors of your heart open wide, so
That all you meet can share in your warmth, your
Laughter and happiness; you’ll find that you will
Have far more happiness once you share yours.

Don’t shut out the opportunities each day lets
You have to serve others.
Take in what the
Day gives you, good and bad, and make it
Into a good day, no matter what.

I know You can do it, I know I can do it.

We’ve all had our share of misfortune, and
We’ve come through it with flying
Colors; so why not use those as a
Template for surpassing all the
Unfortunate occurrences we
Face each day.
You know,
Of Course, the cliché
“When life gives you Lemons, make it
Into lemonade.”

You should learn to
Do that.

“Open the wings of your heart”
