Thought of the Day: Holiday Everyday

Image
How do you feel when you’re about to set off on a holiday? Can’t control the smiles, can’t hold in the anticipation of discovering new landscapes, and the promise of exciting adventures! How exciting would life be, if you set off on your morning commute, everyday, with that same holiday feeling! Set off with a smile, an anticipation of discovering something new, a promise of an adventure, and make everyday feel like a holiday.

MY EVER DEAREST

Across all these miles and far into the distance .You are out there somewhere And I wonder what you are doing at this very moment... Are you thinking of me? Have I even crossed your mind? I just wish that I could be near you, Instead of across all these miles. I'm sitting here without you, And I'm thinking about all the things we've talked about, I just can't seem to get you off my mind. In your arms, holding me tight is where I'd like to be, instead across all these miles and far into the distance.  How comforting is my heart when I am by your side. Yet, I can not explain the words that I feel for it is a feeling that I can not describe by words of mouth., but, of words of heart! And this is the way I can tell you how I feel.  Love is the greatest thing I have ever encountered in my entire life and I am so grateful for that love to be yours. You have given me a new feeling inside my heart and also have touched my heart in places that I never knew existed. If I cou...

How to Begin the Day

Image
For some people, particularly those suffering with depression related issues, getting up in the morning is more than just beating the will to snooze. What should you bother getting up for? How do you greet the day if you're upset, depressed, anxious or frustrated? You may be depressed, trapped or simply looking for some change in your daily routine. Knowing how to wake up and begin a new  day  is important to make life more fun and motivating. And it's easier than you think. 1 Get out of bed.  If this is hard for you then set an alarm clock and put it on a table or windowsill across the room so you'll  have  to get up to turn it off. Get a friend to call you and check that you're up, or a family member to wake you. Find a way of forcing yourself up so that the rest of the day will become easier. 2 Greet the day.  Take a moment to pull back the curtains, g...

Thought of the Day: The Final Analysis

Image
People are often unreasonable, self-centred: Forgive them anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you, but be honest anyway. What you spend years to build, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God; it never was between you and them anyway.
