A good look at Life




Life can seem ungrateful and not always kind
Life can pull at your heartstrings and play with your mind
Life can be blissful and happy and free
Life can put beauty in the things that you see

Life can place challenges right at your feet
Life can make good of the hardships we meet
Life can overwhelm you and make your head spin
Life can reward those determined to win

Life can be hurtful and not always fair
Life can surround you with people who care
Life clearly does offer its up and its downs
Life's day days can bring you both smiles and frowns

Life teaches us to take the good with the bad
Life is a mixture of happy and sad
Take the life that you have and give it your best
Think positive be happy let God do the rest

Take the challenges that life has laid at your feet
Take pride and be thankful for each one you meet
To yourself give forgiveness if you stumble and fall
Take each day that is dealt you and give it your all

Take the love that you're given and return it with care
Have faith that when needed it will always be there
Take time to find the beauty in the things that you see
Take life's simple pleasures let them set your heart free

The idea here is simply to even the score
As you are met and faced with Life's Tug of War

A Life of Gratitude

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. Johannes A. Gaertner To live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we are supported by the world around us. Such a life provides less space for our suffering because our attention is more balanced. We are more often occupied with noticing what we are given, thanking those who have helped us, and repaying the world in some concrete way for what we are receiving. Gregg Krech Explore This Website

Recognize The Possibilities

“Only if you’ve been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.”  Richard Nixon “You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.”   Thomas Merton Explore This Website

Thrive & Grow

 In your heart, keep one still secret spot where dreams may go and be sheltered so they may thrive and grow.  Louise Driscoll   When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better. Pauline R. Kezer Explore This Website
