  1. This is a good thing to think about. I tried to focus on the good things in my life. I tried to count my blessings every day from God. So I guess my focus is on God and how to live by his rules. Thank you for this

  3. I like the messages! It’s easy to lose focus with so much news bombarding us. To chip away at the nonessentials. I find prayer helps me focus.
    Thank you for your post.

  5. This is a great topic. Even eye doctors remind us to blink a few times and then focus on the eye chart. I don’t know why that came to mind , but it did. lol!

    1. Dear Linda,
      Thanks for writing. Oh my goodness! You are right. The eye doctors do tell us to blink a few times and focus on the chart. So taking time to decide what you want and focus on it is a good idea. You have great ideas.
