Rise And Shine
Rise and shine! What a great expression that is.
Don’t just get up in the morning, rise and shine. Make it a great day for those around you. This includes the new people you meet in the course of your day as well as those you know. A simple smile to someone walking towards you or a friendly greeting to the bus driver or sales clerk. It is easy to shine, to share your own happiness and talents.
I’ve always loved the stories of Winnie the Pooh and to hear him exclaim as he got up in the morning, “Ho hum, I wonder what great thing will happen to me today.” When we arise with that positive attitude in the morning, it is easy to rise and shine. We are ready and eager to discover the day and the adventures it will bring – and to greet it with open arms of enthusiasm.
