Every morning, when one wakes up, a decision can be made.  Either consciously or otherwise, a person will be feeling good or bad and can choose whether they want to think positively or negatively about the day at hand.  One can always choose to look up or down on any given day.  Looking up is my choice.  The reason for feeling that way is logical.  Looking up is the path to infinite possibility.  

And then, there is the sky.  Everyday, there it is, waiting to be discovered by anyone who chooses to do so.  I choose this option because there is beauty even in the deepest dark of night.  Without the darkness, the stars would not even be visible, let alone the moon. Look up and see for yourself.

So at the beginning and end of each day, I choose to look up.  And because of this I am gifted with the beauty of the many facets of the clouds and colors of the sky.  The sunrise in the morning and the sunset at night frame my days with this lovely creation of God.

Looking up is a mindset that feeds the soul.  “Up” is where we point, when speaking of heaven. 

And we all know where “down” is pointing.  Up is an attitude, a direction and a place.  

For years, everywhere I worked, I would ask my co-workers, “Did you see the sky this morning?”  And most of them would say no.  I could never give a worthy representation of the scenes I had witnessed in the sky.  Words could not do them justice.  How is it that people chose to miss this opportunity?

As far as I’m concerned, “looking up” can be part of a daily mantra, a daily prayer, asking for guidance in leading an upright, positive life.  Even phrases that include these two words are indicative of hopefulness.  

So this is why I am so hooked on “looking up.”  For those who aren’t, I challenge you to give it a try.  Then I can say that things are going to be “looking up”  for you.
