My #100thankfuldays ~ Day 77

Image
Nostalgia can lead to regret for some  which is why they can perceive it to be bad,  but if you can use nostalgia to remind you  of what has led you to who you are today, or to remind you of good times and how you will find them again, you will appreciate life more. When it comes to remorse and correcting the past, there’s nothing I’d like to undo. Where you arrive at is because of all those things. I know if I change something then my destination might have been different and I may not have these significant lessons up my sleeves.  Learning life's lessons is what makes Life beautiful...★♡¨*•.¸¸✿♡★ 12022014

Certain things can happen and get us really down.  That's a process we must all go through.  No one is immune to pain and suffering, to sadness and emptiness. What's important is to hang in there. Remind yourself that things will always get better. After a storm, the sun will shine again. It may be a few minutes later, a few hours, or even a few days. But it will always happen. This does not mean that the negative emotions you experience at the time are trivial. They are real. They are important. They bring lessons. The sadness will pass. Give yourself time. ❤ *¨*•.¸☼ (Picture posted : George Harrison's original lyrics for Here Comes the Sun, 1969) 12102014

It is not what happens to you  but how you respond to what happens to you.  Be it sunshine or rain,  do you dry out and crumble into ruins or soak and nearly drown in the puddles of sorrow? Many positive souls have proven otherwise, and instead, either got up to let the sunshine nourish their souls or drenched in the rain to wash away the unwanted vibes. Nature will take its course in the same way that Life will unfold itself. We have a choice of either making a disaster out of every season or aiming to see rainbows after braving every adversity.☼•*¨*•.¸ 12092014

Believe in the power of prayer.  In most cases, it is the only one that works when all else have failed. ORATIO IMPERATA (DELIVERANCE FROM CALAMITIES) Almighty Father, we raise our hearts to You in gratitude for the wonders of creation of which we are part, for Your providence that sustains us in our needs, and for your wisdom that guides the course of the universe. We acknowledge our sins against You and the rest of creation. We have not been good stewards of nature. We have confused Your command to subdue the earth. The environment is made to suffer our wrongdoings and now we reap the harvest of our abuse & indifference. Global warming is upon us. Earthquakes, typhoons, rains, floods, drought, volcanic eruption and other calamities occur in increasing number & intensity. We turn to You our loving Father and beg forgiveness for our sins. We ask that we, our loved ones and our hard-earned possessions be spared from the threat of calamities, natural and man-made. We beseech You

Sharing with you some of my doodled notes from  my old notebooks during my bored days at school  (frankly, I'm not a lecture-freak!).  Nice positive checklist to reflect on for many years to come. Be Content. Live Simply. Exercise. Keep Healthy. Don’t worry. Be hopeful. Dream big. Cherish small things. Laugh loud. Let go of ego. Be humble. Cherish healthy and loving relationships. Cry. Listen to your heart. Experience pure joy. Forgive. Free your heart from hatred. Anger is the worst disease. Expect less. Give more. Learn from mistakes. Never be bitter. Be kind. Seek the good in others. Be trustworthy. Share. Keep the abundance mentality. Express gratitude. Be thankful. Meditate. Contemplate. Seek within your heart. Pray and be grateful to God always. 12072014

Isn't it nice to think that God is offering us each tomorrow to be regarded as a fresh start with no mistakes in it? Beginnings could happen  more than once or in different ways. You could think you were starting something afresh, when actually what you were doing was carrying on as before. It would mainly be founded on our choices: between going stale or embracing freshness, on wondering or start seizing, on wallowing or moving forward, on being hopeless or welcoming opportunities.✿♡¨*•.¸¸✿♡ 12062014

Love life, engage in it, give it all you've got.  Love it with a passion because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it. ~ Maya Angelou  Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out. But let's remember that what we will endure, achieve and be able to survive from will never see their significance if we don't have the humility to line them with gratefulness and compassion.★♡¨*•.¸¸✿♡★ 12052014

There's a lot of difference between listening and hearing.  In listening there is understanding  and in hearing there is a need to understand.  But remember, that a worthwhile conversation is having the art of listening as well as of being heard. The need to understand and be understood is an attitude of the heart which have the potential to turn a life around. A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. It is the art of hearing as well as of being heard. We must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world. Behind the need to communicate is the need to share. And behind the need to share is the need to be understood.✿ ♥ ✿ 12042014

Christmas doesn't come from a store,  maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more. ~ Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas As long as we know in our hearts  what Christmas ought to be, Christmas is. Life is unfolding by each step you take - but, it is fulfilled by every choice you make.♡☆♡ 12032014

December is my anticipated month of the year. From childhood until present,  through my best and tough times, I view it as a garden of the whole year-- where I get inspiration to do my recollection of the moments, to gather up and appreciate the lessons, to celebrate and be grateful for the attainments, and assess the totality of my decisions in the passing year, to serve as my guide to the choices that I will be making at the year's turn. Happy December! ★♡♡★ 12012014
