Harvest Life Gracefully: Communication by Jane Jonas
Being able to communicate in a positive way is needed, when you harvest life gracefully.
As most of you know I am a survivor of abuse. Abuse has caused me not to trust. The abuse caused negative thinking. When someone said or did something that I did not like, I would think that they were out to get me.
In order for me to calm the fear of "they are out to get me" I needed to learn to express to the person how I felt about what they had said or done, and then I ask for clarification of what was meant by it. I soon realize most people were amazed that I interpreted the words or actions as I did. Then I would realize that my fear was groundless. But how would I know if I didn't express myself? This is a way to build trust.
Lets us remember to ask our higher power for the courage to ask for clarification instead of sitting in our fear. Sitting in fear is not the way to harvest life gracefully.

Harvest Life Gracefully: Never Too Late
Harvest Life Gracefully: Never Too Late by Jane Jonas
The wonderful thing with harvest life gracefully that it is never too late to begin again.
How delightful and joyous to know that we have the freedom to choose to begin again when we make mistakes or find ourselves on the wrong path. Who to know today could be the turning point of a new and more insightful way to harvest life gracefully.
Do you know that it is never too late to become more spiritual and turn to our higher power? The higher power waits for us patiently.
Do you know that it is never too late to let go of your burdens and put them in charge of our higher power?
Do you know that it is never too late to make amends to the people that we hurt or caused harm to?
Do you know that it is never too late to forgive the people that has hurt us?
Do you know that it is never too late to change what is needed to change?
Do you know that it is never too late to harvest life gracefully?
If we learn anything today let it be the knowledge that it is never too late to begin again: we are welcome to do so without shame!!!

Harvest Life Gracefully: Acceptance
Harvest Life Gracefully: Acceptance by Jane Jonas
To harvest life gracefully does not require you to like everybody but to accept everybody. I don't believe that is is humanly possible to like every single person you meet, because there will always be somebody that will say or do something that we disagree with. I bet I affect some people in the same way. In fact I know I do! The differences in people will make for variety in our life and it would be helpful to welcome and appreciate it. Just like we appreciate the variety of flowers in our gardens.
It is only necessary to accept people who are different than us, we don't have to like them, regardless of our beliefs, race, color or background. The differences in people will spice up the adventure in living if you would only allow it.

Harvest Life Gracefully: Caretaker
Harvest Life Gracefully: Caretaker by Jane Jonas
Does this sound like you? Are you are caretaker? How about this? Would you think that you knew what was best for everyone. If only they would follow your advice then they would be fine. Then when they did not follow you will be become frustrated and angry feeling rejected?
Understand this! In order to harvest life gracefully we must remember that we are not in charge. Do you like it when people try to control you? If you are like me you would probably resent it. So I am sure that people will resent us if we did the same. We are powerless to change anyone but ourselves. I believe that if we are too busy in other people's lives, it is because we are running away from ourself. Would you not agree?

Harvest Life Gracefully: Know Thyself Be Honest
Know Thyself Be Honest is a step to harvest life gracefully, we spend so much time thinking and not enough time feeling. Constant thinking will leave you physically tense by the end of the day. This usually will cause for restless nights. This is a sign for you to stop and examine your life. Were you thinking about hurts or guilt's? Maybe you are thinking about unfulfilled needs from childhood. Working on this slogan "Known Thyself Be Honest" will free yourself to harvest life gracefully.
Maybe it is time for you to examine your life, by keeping an journal or talking to a trusted friend.
