Another day of life

(Life is beautiful, Life is love)

Tomorrow smile at someone
That you've never seen before.
Take time to think of others that
You feel compassion for.

Tomorrow tell somebody
How they brighten up your day.
Let random acts of kindness
Put your feelings on display.

Tomorrow hug your children
Somewhat tighter than before.
Be sure to think of all the things
You can be thankful for.

Pat your dog a little longer.
Hug and kiss your husband/wife.
Thank God for granting you
Another day of life.

“What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it-would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.” — Ralph Marston

Be Thankful
Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,

If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something,

For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.

During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,

Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge,

Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes,

They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary,

Because it means you’ve made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings.

A Creed To Live By

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.

It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Don't set your goals by what other people deem important.

Only you know what is best for you.

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.

Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.

By living your life one day at a time,you live all the days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have something to give.

Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.

It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don't be afraid to encounter risks.

It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find.

The quickest way to receive love is to give love.

The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;

and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't dismiss your dreams.

To be without dreams is to be without hope;

to be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been,

but also where you're going.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Can You Sleep While The Wind Blows?

Years ago, a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast.
He constantly advertised for hired hands.
Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic.
They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the Atlantic, wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops.
As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received a steady stream of refusals.

Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, approached the farmer.
"Are you a good farm hand?" the farmer asked him.
"Well, I can sleep when the wind blows," answered the little man.

Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help, hired him.
The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man's work.
Then one night the wind howled loudly in from offshore.
Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand's sleeping quarters.
He shook the little man and yelled, "Get up!
A storm is coming! Tie things down before they blow away!"
The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, "No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows."
Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot.
Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm.
To his amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered with tarpaulins.
The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops, and the doors were barred.
The shutters were tightly secured.
Everything was tied down.
Nothing could blow away.
The farmer then understood what his hired hand meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the wind blew.

When you're prepared, spiritually, mentally, and physically, you have nothing to fear. Can you sleep when the wind blows through your life? The hired hand in the story was able to sleep because he had secured the farm against the storm. We secure ourselves against the storms of life by grounding ourselves in the Word of God. We don't need to understand, we just need to hold His hand to have peace in the middle of storms.

GOD BLESS US ALL!

Priceless Moments Part 1

When your jaws and cheeks ache from too much laughing.
Realizing you can do something you didn't know you could.
An unexpected compliment from an unlikely someone.

When that meeting or event you didn’t want to attend suddenly gets canceled at the last minute.
The good pain of stretching your legs after sitting down for a long time.
Seeing a room lit up by the soft glow of Christmas lights.

Receiving a surprise hug from behind by someone you were looking forward to seeing.
Hitting all green lights while driving when you are in a rush.
Randomly catching a glimpse of your reflection in a window or mirror and liking what you see.

The feeling you get once you have decided to make a change in your life, and have actually made decent progress in doing so.
Walking around your house and admiring your work right after you finish cleaning it up.
When a stranger tells you you're pretty.

Having heart-to-heart talks with your mother.
The moment when you crawl into bed after a long, tiring day.
Cracking up so much while you're trying to tell a funny story that you can't even speak, and everyone else can't help but laugh along with you even though they haven't got a clue what you're laughing about.

Seeing someone smile in their sleep.
Hearing someone sing cheerfully to themselves.
Hearing a song that seems to be written about exactly what's going on in your life right now.

Spending two minutes on hair and makeup that looks like it took you hours.
When you receive more than you expected. Like money, food, love, etc.
Mothers who know just the right thing to say.

When the thing you need to buy just happens to be on sale.
Seeing the whole arch of a huge rainbow.
When a child laughs.

Knowing deep down that you made a difference in someone's life.
A big hug from a good friend.
Thinking about someone and then seeing them randomly.

Accidentally overhearing someone say nice things about you.
That weightless feeling you get after a good cry and knowing you'll be ok.
Checking someone out and almost getting busted, but not getting busted.

Waking up to the smell of a home cooked meal. You were still asleep, but someone special knew you’d be hungry soon.
When a little kid or baby let's out a big adult-sounding burp by accident.
Watching a dog or cat chase it's tail.

Getting something cool (and unexpected) for free.
When you finally yawn after an airplane flight and your ears pop back to normal.
When someone comes back and thanks you because they truly loved something you encouraged them to do.

The contagious effect of other people laughing hysterically.
When you accidentally say something that rhymes.
Friendly neighbors who wave to you when you drive by.

Turning the page of a calendar and seeing a month full of things you have been looking forward to.

The warm coziness of your own bed after returning home from a long trip.

The best things always comes in small packages.

What A Perfect Monday

Think About It

Just Random Thoughts

Blackberries & I-Phones

As you all know by now, I take the train to work everyday.
As usual, i happen to stand at my li'l corner and everybody else is in their own world.

Casually this 2 guys walk in. They are not Malaysian from the way they speak. And you know if its Arabic. From what i concluded, they might be guys from Myanmar or Bangladeshis or Nepalis, you know people from that region. What shocked me was one was using a Blackberry and the other an I-Phone.

Every Tom, Dick, Harry, Susan, Mary and Jane is having either one of the 2 mentioned.

Its so easy to lure the human mind when a new product is launched. Well, the proof of it happens to be the Blackberry and I-Phone.

The question arises.: Do we buy it just to fit into the crowd or is it a necessity?

This is definitely my all time fav for 2010

A li'l reminder what we are worth. Often we forget ! ! !
