To ReLearn ~

Sometimes, it's perfectly fine to realize and know that you don't know what everyone else seems to know. Admitting it gives you the chance to know. 

Finally... my much later post. ;)

A Blessing Amidst Heavy Showers

Now, isn't it nice to receive a generous offer of a lift back to where you came from, when that was the least you expected coming your way that day? It is indeed, especially after you had mentally prepared yourself to endure the unwelcoming circumstances of the weather you were caught in. An offer like that sure doesn't come by often, and to have had it, makes me feel that He somehow cared for His child a little more that moment despite the fact that I should have been elsewhere for that time of the day. And for that... I am sorry.

My much later post that I was hoping for, landed in the new hours of a new day instead of the same day. So maybe, just maybe, another one... much later today.

An Early Morning Treat ~

Smile... Make that one of the first thing that you do when you awake from your night's rest in the morning. This is the least you can do to treat yourself to something at no cost at all should the day turn out to be a sour or bitter twist later on. You get the high possibility of having this after having done so: You face the day with a better attitude.

It's the least that can be the most rewarding sometimes.

Another post much later today. This one's meant to be for the 12th - fatigue caught up with me that I knocked out a little too early than expected. Oh well... the treat can come in handy at the moment... ;)

Make Me... Me ~

For as long as I am breathing, and am capable of thinking and doing the things that my mind wants me to do, I am tailored to action by the influence and inspiration of something... or someone. 

Always.

Shaping You ~

What we are is God's gift to us. 
What we become is our gift to God.

                                                             
~ Eleanor Powell ~

If the above holds any bit of truth, I ask myself this, "Is He pleased with what He sees of me?"

Is He? And what do I do about it if the answer is, "No"?

Rise and Fall... and to Rise Again.

Words from yesterday.. it doesn't need to be all perfect. And so the possibility of imperfections.. came to life. The quote catch speaks with a little harshness. It goes..

Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it. 

                                                                            Salvador Dali

You can let the words bring you down, or, you can ignore them and continue to make the best of your day.

I want to think that I have more to be thankful for than to be bitter of. I will miss today for the better moments of it.

Close Those Eyes ~

When you've stepped into the hour or the moment that you've been waiting for, know that the hours or the moments after that, doesn't need to be all perfect. You let yourself fall, because you learn to get back on your feet when you hit the ground. 

You need a heart to carry on, to push you forward, even if you might be tempted to let yourself give up all hope. So close those eyes, find your strength, and let the wind lift you up... so when you finally open them, you find yourself soaring high above.

This Time Around ~

If for the first time you missed the chance.. when another one comes around.. grab hold of the chance.. don't miss out on it.. you won't have a lifetime of the same kind of chance to come dropping at your feet. 

I am going this time, because the next time around, it won't be with the same people. I know I will have a good good time. =) 

Don't We?

I was asked a question, and the words that came out as an impromptu reply were, "In life, we're always waiting for something."

Now, if you happen to find that response to be faulty, well, I believe that for the large part of it... it carries a lot of truth.  

Living The Moment ~

To be and to feel young and energetic is simply glorious.. it's the prime time of your life. If you still feel that way when you step into your thirties.. you did the right thing by taking good care of your body when you were in your twenties. If being in your forties still finds you with the same kind of feeling.. my, life still fascinates you in many ways. Then, if that's still the case when you're in your fifties.. well then.. perhaps you are just really deeply in love with life and that you just really have a good level of self-esteem about yourself. 

I love the fact that I am not all alone breathing on this planet, because having all that youth and energy won't mean much if there was no one else to celebrate it with whether it is simple and ordinary, or a little more elaborate and loud in nature. 

Yes.. live for the moment.. because once it gets snatched away.. it's gone with time.
