B is for 'Be.' It is okay to just be. I don't always have to be doing, it is alright to just be in the moment and enjoy it for what it is.  |

G is for Gifts. We all have our own special gifts. Sometimes we don't recognize them, for the most part they are God given. They are not all the same, what is good for me, may not be good for others. I know there are a lot of things I can't do, but try to be grateful for the things i can.  |

"O"...is for Open...Open mind...Open heart....Show some kindness & Open the door for someone...and the opposite is true too...I also need to know when to not open my mouth...restraint of tongue is not always one of my strong suites...So I need to stay OPEN to that still small voice inside of me for guidance.
