Exhilarating

.

In the middle

of the word

Exhilarating

you will find

the root word,

Hilarious.

Funny isn't it??

Not funny looking, Ha, Ha, but just fun to be alive.

To elate and enliven, to make cheerful and excited

are all good causes to have an exhilarating day.

Wake up, go for a walk, smell the roses, enjoy good friends

and family, treat yourself to an attitude of gratitude.

"It's exhilarating to be alive
in a time of awakening consciousness;
it can also be confusing, disorienting, and painful.    ~ Adrienne Rich

When exploring new feelings, both good and bad, it is helpful

to have a support group handy to help you learn about yourself.

Have faith, whether you may believe it or not, many other

people have had similar feelings and they can tell you what to expect

and suggest what to do when those new to you feelings are experienced.

Select a support group that has been there and done that,

ones who are not confused, disoriented or suffering, but

ones who know happy, joyous and free, and exhilarating.

Know that drugs and alcohol may produce exhilarating feelings,

but when the habit, the addiction, becomes all consuming,

the feeling of exhilaration becomes one of despair.

Do not despair, change can be exhilarating.

"Winners take time to relish their work,
knowing that scaling the mountain
is what makes the view from the top so exhilarating. ~ Denis Waitley

Those who break a bad habit, quit an addictive behavior, are Winners and Miracles.

They are the Winners and Miracles who have conquered challenges

that may be greater than the scaling of the tallest mountains know to man.

Those people who know how to change will tell you that a loving

Higher Power is the most important part of their support group.

Learning the will of a Higher Power gives direction to the changes to be made.

Learning to do the next right thing in service to self, others and

your Higher Power is the will of a loving Spirit of the Universe.

Be kind, that exhilarating feeling works for both the giver and the receiver.

Be loving, that exhilarating feeling works for both the giver and the receiver, only more so.

Be patient and tolerant, some people need to change and they just do not realize it.

Be forgiving, remember how many fingers are pointing back at you

when you point one finger at someone else.

"Excess on occasion is exhilarating.
It prevents moderation
from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit." ~ W. Somerset Maugham

Today, be excessive; be kinder, be more loving, give more and expect less,

be better than the person your Higher Power wants you to be,

and go for the most exhilarating feeling you can find.

Happiness is a good exhilarating feeling.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves
