There and Here

"When we are not bored with here and longing to be there, When the life of things is breathed in and breathed out with every breath we take. when we live with the past of our world and into the unborn future without desiring to undo what is done, or avoid what must be, then we live in a timeless life now, a place-less life here" (R.H..Blyth)

Bloom

"People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong.Why not try and see the positive things to just touch those things and make them bloom!" (Thich Nhat Hanh)

With Faith

I believe I have posted this little poem before but thought it was deserving of posting it again

With Faith
For every disappointment that ever comes your way
there also will be happiness upon another day

Sometimes there will be failure in things you try to do
but with both faith and fortitude success will come to you

When life appears it's darkest and clouds obscure your view
you know that you are bound to find the sun come shining through

The faith that you possess in God is never placed in vain
it will sustain and be your guide life's finer things to gain.


wishing all my blogger family and friends a peaceful and loving (Resurrection day a.k.a.- Easter) <3

The Worst

"The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think,we do this because we're afraid we fear we will not find love and when we find it we fear we'll lose it we fear that if we do not have love we will be unhappy"

It is my belief that we create our own path to happiness we find it in many different ways, for me I find it in the simplest things and for me those lead to the big things. I do agree that the worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves because it somehow strikes a cord in the human spirit that your not deserving of love or anything good that you work for or that comes your way. but we are all deserving of LOVE and all the pleasures that comes with it emotionally and physically and metaphorically that is what makes us human and that is what makes us love.

" with gentleness overcome anger, with generosity overcome meanness, with truth overcome delusion"

Just a little quote that I have found and thought I would post as it hit the spot within me over the weekend.

" If you are patient in one moment of anger you will escape a hundred days of sorrow" Chinese Proverb

contemplating

From the beginning of the new year I have made no secret that I am on a self exploration journey which includes my mind, body, spirit, well being. as I have stated I ended up having some surgery that I have been journaling my expressions about and will continue to do so. I am finding out interesting things about myself and different things I would like to do creatively and new ventures I would like to also check into. Exploration of one self can be truly eye opening and can also make you question things in your life, I am not dwelling on the past for the past is completely that, the past you can not change it all you can do is learn from it and move on with your life, I have learned to take life one day at a time and embrace it embrace all that you feel and think and want to do. that is the joy I have been finding out while I travel on my journey. I admit it has been a little on the side line these past month since I went back to work. but I am going to make sure I write down my thoughts as I am feeling them so that when I gather them together I can express them here. So what I am now contemplating is to make the decision to go back to college but I can't decide if I want to do it traditionally like going back to a classroom or if doing it all on line ( especially cause in the state of Ca where I live they are always cutting education these poor college students I know cause my college kids are effected by it! ). I am in the research stages right now this is something that I want to do for me just to be able to say to MYSELF that I am a college graduate and with any luck and God's grace I will be done with this by the time I am in my mid 50's.!I There are also some other ventures I plan on doing for myself and as I take each step one at a time to get there it makes this journey I am on so much richer.
