To See Things Differently

When we are willing to see things differently, they have a way of showing up differently.  When we believe and our minds are open, there are no walls and all things become possible.

 

Around the Corner I Have a Frined

 

Around the corner I have a friend
 In this great city that has no end,
             Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
             And before I know it, a year is gone
             And I never see my old friends face
             For life is a swift and terrible race,
             He knows I like him just as well,
             As in the days when I rang his bell.
             And he rang mine but we were younger then.
            And now we are busy, tired men.
             Tired of playing a foolish game
             Tired of trying to make a name
             Tomorrow I say! ‘I will call on Jim
             Just to show that I’m thinking of him.’
             But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
             And distance between us grows and grows
             Around the corner, yet miles away,
             Here’s a telegram sir,’ ‘Jim died today..’
             And that’s what we get and deserve in the end
             Around the corner, a vanished friend.
             Remember to always say what you mean.
             If you  love someone, tell them.
             Because  when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.
             Seize the day. Never have regrets.
             And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have
             helped make you the person that you are today.  You                                                           

Thank You…

I wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who reads my blog and my twitter posts, and who likes and comments on them.  I just now noticed that most of the comments (on both sites) have gone to spam and I’m sorry I didn’t notice them sooner.

I’m not a computer wiz and time is a big issue, however, you are all in my heart.  I don’t want to be just another blog with quotes,  although they are wonderful, but instead try to post ideas and thoughts beyond just quotes.  I sincerely hope that through my posts and my book that the world is a more positive place one person at a time.  If you like what I do please share my sites…

PS.  I love animals and use them frequently in my posts pictures.  I hope you love them as well

Just Love Them

Before becoming a Mother, I had a hundred theories on how to bring up children.  Now I have seven children and only one theory.  Love them, especially when they least deserve to be loved.  Kate Scamperi

 

 

Do You Believe in Miracles?

From:  Velinda Peyton

I do!  I’ve been the recipient of them and I’ve seen them.  I know miracles exits.

 I’ve read that all you have to do is believe, ask for a miracle and it will come.  Miracles are like prayer.   You have to ask and be open to them arriving.  Maybe not the way you thought, but miracles the same. So I asked!  Continue reading Do You Believe in Miracles? →

You Have to Hold Out for Something Beautiful

A wrong relationship will make you feel more alone than when you were single.

A lousy relationship is never better than no relationship.  You have to hold out for something beautiful.

Love is the Definition of Success

“If your definition of success has little or no measure of
love in it, get another definition.” ~Robert Holden

Native American Prayer

I give you this one thought to keep
I am with you still – I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awake in the morning’s hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not  think of me as gone
I am with you still in each new dawn

“I have one theory in life.  I never want to say the word I should have.  If I do it and I fail, I tried.  If I do it and I succeed, better for me.  I tell my children the same thing.  Never go through life saying you should have.  If you want to do something you do it”

“I believe that everybody has a little hero in them.  You gotta look in and it is there…it will come out”

I wish to Change My Life, So Please Change Me

 If love is not in your life, it’s on the way…prepare.

 The love you pray for is trying to reach you at every moment. 

“Please heal my romantic wounds that I might give and receive true love.  Teach me how to let love in and lit it stay. Remove from my mind all judgment and from my heart all fear.  Release the chains that bind me.  Help me not to miss my own life.  Do not allow me to escape my good.  Soften my heart”

 May I begin again?

I wish to change my life, so please change me.
