Hmmmmm

Something to ponder
especially in these volatile times . . .

Consider how hard it is
to change yourself
and you'll understand
what little chance you have
in trying to change others.

That is all.

Today is National Philanthropy Day!

Whether it is stuff you don't use,
money that you can live without,
time to share your talents . . .
GIVE it today.

Your kindness begins a ripple
that flows much further
than you could ever know.

Scars

My Facebook page's meme says:

Never be ashamed of a scar.
It simply means you were stronger
than whatever tried to hurt you.

We all have scars.
Some, sadly, are visible.
I tend to call them battle wounds . . .
from fights in which I've been victorious.
Some, more sadly, are not visible.
These are inflicted on the heart,
in the psyche,
on the soul.
Much more tragic.
But the victory over them is magnified ten fold.
You always have the option
to succumb to your wounds or battle through them.
Even when you are having a bad day,
when everything seems to be against you,
when bad luck might be your only luck,
remember
that you have been triumphant over every bad day so far.
Your track record is pretty good.
You are stronger than you think,
and braver than you know.
Go ahead . . . show those scars!

World Kindness Day

Today is World Kindness Day.

No matter where you are.
No matter what you're doing.
No matter who you're with.
No matter how you're feeling.
No matter the weather.
No matter the circumstance.

Be Kind!

The Big Three

I kind of really like this quote.
Sadly,
it seems a great majority of us,
can only juggle two of these.
We struggle so hard
to grasp and deal with all three.
Let's try a little harder, eh?

There are three constants in life:
change
choice
principles

Enjoy Every Second

Time is so fragile,
so precious,
so fleeting.
See what you can see.
Do what you can do.
Laugh. Love. Live.
Embrace each moment.
Revel in each victory.
Learn from each defeat.
Listen to every story.
Share what you have learned.

Relish your worth.

Absorb each minute.

Snuggle whenever you're able.

Enjoy every second.

Hey! I Know You!

Hey!
I know you!
You're that amazing person
who does extraordinary things
with great passion
paired with grand kindness
to be a better person
than you were yesterday
and to leave the world
just a little more full of love
than you found it.
Thank you.
For being here.
For being you.
