My #100thankfuldays ~ Day 39


Give freely to the world these gifts of love and compassion. 
Do not concern yourself with how much you receive in return, 
just know in your heart it will be returned.
Happiness doesn't result from what we get, but from what we give.

We are meant to learn this great truth--that giving fulfills us,
while withholding and trying to get causes us to feel empty and even more needy. This truth runs counter to our programming,
which drives us to try to get something from others to fulfill our neediness,
only to end up even more needy, grasping, lacking, and unfulfilled.
We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.

Missives from my heart ~ May 2011

Silence is holy and pure. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. We sit next to each other in silence and as we go on our separate ways, we felt that it was the best conversation that we've ever had... The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning. rain or shine, i don't mind--as long as there are good deeds, heartwarming conversations, unmasked laughters, sweet embraces and comfortable silences to share, to thank for and to keep our hearts happy... i'm glad to have that living mantra of putting my faith in gratitude, happiness and positivity--no matter what the circumstances may be...the smiles in my heart only increased and never ceased... In running, good to keep in mind to divide my race into thirds. Run the first part with my head, the middl...
