Why Can Angels Fly?

It is ironic or is it, how things/people/stories get shared at just the right time.  I once heard that there are no coincidences, they are just God's way of remaining anonymous. 

Well, at a meeting today I heard a friend share this quote that really struck home with me:

"The reasons angels can fly...is that they take themselves so lightly"

How perfect, how my last post was just talking about how we control our own thoughts and feelings, what a perfect extension of this.  The other amazing part of this was that on my way to this meeting, another friend called and we spoke for a few minutes and he mentioned how it is a daily struggle that we all have to question our own thoughts.  Which states how important it is to communicate with peers that we trust about any and all issues that we have going on in our life, as through we are able to release our sometimes crazy thoughts into the universe.  Granted, we are not always going to agree or like what that other peer may say, but just the fact that we are taking inventory and have the courage to tell another human being what we think, is very important into making healthy and better decisions each and every day of our life. 

Looking back, the majority of my anger or resentments come from my own thoughts.  The expectations of another person on how they should treat me or what they should say or me taking offense to what they did or said because I feel that it attacks my character.  WOW...if I would have had a better understanding of "taking myself lightly" these issues would never have surfaced and my life would have been even more peaceful for all who are in it.  

This goes back to my core attitude/belief...which is..."ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE"   Now I just need to keep on applying and practicing it more often, so that when I feel myself getting into an unhealthy mental situation, that I can quickly snap out of it by realizing all that I have in my life to be grateful for and not one person or thing can ever change that.  As I lay down to sleep here soon, I am going to write in my Gratitude Journal and say my prayer to God about all that I have to be thankful for.
