Howdy Folks and Good Day!
As you might have noticed by all the typos in yesterday’s greeting, I was pretty
tired when I wrote it. For those of you
who are interested, there’s a corrected version on-line at:
http://www.sfpnn.com/PNNs/PNN2007/04192007.htm .
I have to admit, I wasn’t too happy to discover all those typos, but I was grateful. You see, my body was sending me a message. I knew I was exhausted. I didn’t feel well and had been pushing myself, but I wanted to fit just a few more things into my day. My body wanted rest… relaxation… rejuvenation. My body wanted me to listen and it was trying to get my attention through sheer tiredness.
Although I canceled some of my activities for the day, I still pursued others – at least SFPNN. My body allowed me to finish my work and then it said, “Enough. You’re going to bed--whether you want to or not.”
So I did.
And when my friend called the next day to see if I was feeling better I was happy to report “YES! I’m feeling great.”
She was surprised I had recovered so quickly. I wasn’t. But I was grateful... I was especially grateful my body sent me the signal loud and clear that I was fighting something off and needed to get some rest – whether I wanted to or not. I needed sleep.
Because I obeyed (after a little resistance) I was rewarded with renewed health. That’s how it works. At least how it’s supposed to work!
Our bodies are miracles in action. They not only contain our spirit, they allow us to see, hear, feel, smell, and taste. Our bodies allow us walk, talk, think, work, play, and even recreate! They can grow and get stronger. And they can heal and rejuvenate themselves.
Our bodies have infinite wisdom programmed into them. They know what we need. They know what’s healthy for us… not only physically, but emotionally, intellectually, spiritually, even romantically. Our bodies are fine-tuned instruments designed to carry us through life. They truly are miraculous.
But we have to listen. When we listen, our bodies tell us what they need, what we need. Our bodies even give us feedback or personal signals. Our job is to obey our body’s infinite wisdom without letting our mind or ego convince us otherwise.
When the body says it needs to rest, it’s in our best interest to rest. (The signal is, “I’m tired” or “my eyes hurt.”)
When the body says it wants to eat healthy, it’s in our best interest to order the salad instead of the fries. (The signal is: I have more energy when I eat salad, I break out when I eat fries.)
When our body says there’s too much stress in this job, it’s in our best interest to find a more positive work place. (The signal is tight shoulders, headaches, stomach aches, sore neck and back, and depression or lethargy.)
Our bodies are meant to give us pleasure, not pain; health, not illness; guidance, not confusion. Our bodies are fine-tuned instruments which need regular maintenance and tuning. It’s up to us to take care of them and allow their music to help direct the symphony of our lives.
So please take care of YOU...and your body.
With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

Thanks to Ellie Braun-Haley

TWO
A girl was visiting her blonde friend, who had acquired two new dogs,
and asked her what their names were.
The blonde responded by saying that one was named Rolex and one was
named Timex.
Her friend said, "Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like
that?"
"HELLLOOOOOOO......," answered the blonde. "They're
watch dogs!"

It started so simple, so
innocently… Tom fulfilled a promise to write the stories he said he would tell.
A man, two dogs and a forlorn tree… Who could have known it would turn into the
intriguing series known as "The Christmas Tree Chronicles." Don't be
fooled by the name, these twisted tales take you year round!
It doesn't stop there,
though.

Kindness Suggestion
Let
Them Know They Make a Difference
I have a rather unique work situation. I work because I want to, not because I have to for survival. (Although I have done that and got the burn-out to prove it!) In addition to other things, a good bulk of my work consists of editing, publishing and distributing Sir Froggie’s Positive News Network as well as writing articles for it and maintaining the website.
I love everyone I work with and we all get to do what we love. We all get along really well. There is no gossiping, no competition, no complaining, no whining about not getting a raise. In fact, no one who writes for SFPNN earns a dime from it. Not even a penny. What we do earn is respect for one another, valuable spiritual lessons, personal growth, and the gratitude of our readers!
Like most people, I often don’t tell our authors how much I appreciate them. But I do try to make a point of it. They deserve to know they’re special and they that they make a difference. Just like you do. And just like renowned author Ellie Braun-Haley did for me a few days ago when she sent the following:
TO: A significant difference maker...
with thanks
This story of the
Starfish was just sent to me. I know it well, yet it is so
simple as it points out to us the significance of our acts of service, no matter
how small. Remembering that we are indeed significant in the scheme of things
can make the difference for some individuals between happiness and loneliness.
I pray I can make a
difference each day in some way.
And I am grateful to
you, Jeanette, for the contributions you make to humanity through your work.
Jeanette, you MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE. Thank you.
Be well and let your light shine.
Reading Ellie’s note, I was overcome with tears of joy. THANK YOU, ELLIE! YOU make a difference, too! J
When people ask me why I do SFPNN even though it takes so much time and effort and I’m not earning any money out of it, the best way to sum it up is, “It’s a God Thing.” I truly feel as if this is one of the things God has directed me to do and I love it!
Sometimes days will pass without hearing from our readers. I don’t know if the messages I’m sending are getting through to folks or if I’m really making a difference. I think I am. I’m pretty sure I am. But there’s no review from my Boss, at least not the traditional kind. There’s no grading or point system. I just have to trust the process.
When I’m writing and putting together the issues I feel God’s
spirit move through me. I hear His words
directing me and guiding me. I recognize
His words in the words of our gifted and talented authors. (You
Guys and Gals
We all want to KNOW we make a difference…That our being here makes the world a better place. So when someone takes time out to tell us we do and shows their appreciation, it feels incredible!
When we recognize others for what they do and who they are, we also recognize the divinity within them. We connect with it. We allow it to flow through us. There’s an ancient Sanskrit word – Namasté – which basically means, “*The highest in me honors and recognizes the highest in you.” This is what happens when we let others know they’re making a positive difference in our lives.
Each time we show our appreciation and give others recognition, we raise our vibrations and theirs. We put a little more positive energy in the world. We allow more of God’s love and light to shine. And it just plain feels good to both the giver and receiver.
No matter who it is, let them know they make a difference.
Namasté.

TAKE THE SFPNN
KINDNESS CHALLENGE!
Living through the words of Gandhi, we must be the change we want to see in the world. We must also acknowledge those who are in the act of creating those changes. Therefore, we have two challenges for you.
Kindness Challenge # 1: Do something kind today and every day. It doesn’t have to be of earth-shattering proportions to make a positive difference. Simply saying “Thank You” or letting someone know they’re appreciated can have a tremendous impact. Find little ways to be kind and to make our world a kinder place. And feel free to tell us about your kind act!
E-mail: “KINDNESS”
Kindness Challenge # 2: Share something kind someone has done for you! People are kind to us in a myriad of ways on a daily basis. But we often overlook their kindness. Become aware of acts of kindness and acknowledge the person performing them. Then share their kind gesture with SFPNN.
E-mail: “KINDNESS”

Moments of Joy — From
This
song came to let me know it’s OK to take time out of a busy day to nurture your
soul. It’s not only OK, it’s pretty
essential.
give yourself
You gotta give yourself
The opportunity
To express your creativity.
That is the way I nurture my soul,
And let it speak to me.
The more I can allow it to have free rein,
Without much interference from me,
The me that I’ve identified me with
Up until this very day,
And be open to whatever comes through
And thankful for whatever part I played.

The
SFPNN Link of the Week – Recommended by
Sir Froggie's Positive News Network
is proud to present
The SFPNN Positivity Link Award to:
Every human mind is a great slumbering
power until awakened by a keen desire and by definite resolution to do.
— Edgar F. Roberts
Your vision will become clear only when
you look into your heart...
Who looks
outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.
— Carl Jung.
Over the last few weeks we have been out in the Universe, then back to earth and this week we are awakening the being that is within each of us.
I hope this presentation helps you answer a question someone asked me one time [and I keep asking my self periodically]. Who am I being while I am doing the doing? And does what I am doing reflect the being I want to be?
I hope you’ll share your ‘Awakenings’ with
us for SFPNN’s Soul Magic
column. You can learn more about Soul Magic at: http://www.sfpnn.com/soul_magic.htm
.
Mr. Marston also offers a daily inspirational message which you can reach any day from my SFPNN web site [http://www.sfpnn.com/aunt_bette.htm]. These daily messages are also available in the same visual presentation as “Awaken” if you choose to have them sent to you each day.
Let There Be Peace On Earth and Let It Begin With Me...
