Take a rest from all the trash talk around you. Turn off the broadcast television news. Don't pick up the phone when caller ID tells you it's Debbie Downer. X-out of your Facebook page. Just for today, take a break from the hype and hysteria of somebody else's problems. May you be focused on your blessings today.

No matter where I am - in the living room, upstairs, in the kitchen, or down in the basement, I am always asking myself: 'Now, what am I here after?'"
