"Goodness matters, for goodness sake!"
(Happy Musings is a newspaper feature syndicated by King Features that I create each
day to remind us all that “Life is wonderful!.”
As I woke
up this morning with the remnants of a mildly disturbing dream lingering in my
head, I thought that it would be nice to have a perfect bedtime story to read
to myself every night before dropping off to sleep. It would set things right for the mind. Naturally a prayer or two are helpful as is
the practice of counting one’s blessings.
But I thought that a magical bedtime story would be wonderful, one that
went deep into oneself and planted the perfect thoughts.
Then I
wrote it.
Here it is:
There is a
wonderful plan of which you are a part.
It is to bring goodness into the world, into your country, into your
town, into your home, into your life.
You, like all people, are the container of this goodness. You have the ability to spread goodness
wherever you go and wherever you are.
The plan includes
you, but is not about you. It is about
goodness, and the more you realize this, the better you feel. The better you feel the more goodness you
spread. When you think of yourself,
think of goodness. When you think of
your work, think of goodness. When you think of the people around you, think of
goodness. When you think of the
circumstances in your life, think of goodness.
This is why
you are here – to be good, think good, do good and feel good.
What could
be better than that?
That is my
story. I’m going to read it every night
and see how it affects my life. I invite
you to do the same and then let me know how it affects your life as well. It is based on the absolute truth.
Smiles, Sally
“Life is
wonderful! Don’t forget it.”
