Beginning Today
Beginning Today
Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday.
It is in the past and the past will never change.
Only I can change by choosing to do so.
Beginning today I will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there,
waiting for me to make the most of it.
But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today .
Beginning today I will look in the mirror
and I will see a person worthy
of my respect and admiration .
This capable person looking back at me
is someone I enjoy spending time with and someone I would like to get to know better.
Beginning today I will cherish each moment of my life.I value this gift bestowed upon me
in this world and I will unselfishly
share this gift with others.
I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.
Beginning today I will take a moment
to step off the beaten path and to
revel in the mysteries I encounter.
I will face challenges with courage and determination.
I will overcome what barriers
there may be which hinder my quest for
growth and self-improvement.
Beginning today I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time.
Discouragement will not be allowed
to taint my positive self-image ,
my desire to succeed or my capacity to love.
Beginning today I walk with renewed faith,
Regardless of what has gone before,
I believe there is hope
for a brighter and better future.
Beginning today I will open my mind and my heart. I will welcome new experiences.
I will meet new people.
I will not expect perfection from myself
nor anyone else: perfection does not exist
in an imperfect world .
But I will applaud the attempt
to overcome human foibles.
Beginning today I am responsible
for my own happiness and I will do
things that make me happy . . .
admire the beautiful wonders of nature,
listen to my favorite music ,
pet a kitten or a puppy, soak in a bubble bath . . .
pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.
Beginning today I will learn something new;
I will try something
different; I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer .
I will change what I can and the rest I will let go.
I will strive to become the best me
I can possibly be.
Beginning today. And every day.
Just a thought, but as I often think of you
and realize how much God
loves you, sometimes I think we need to also love ourselves through His eyes.
God Bless .

Friday
May this day bring us many opportunities for kindness... ;-)
Several years ago I was at a train station in Amsterdam waiting in line to buy a ticket.
As I stood there I saw a young homeless man asking people for money so he could buy breakfast. It was early in the morning and most of the travelers simply ignored the young man or gave him a dirty look.
There was one exception though - an older, well-dressed businessman who looked as though he was from the middle-east.
When approached by the panhandler, the gentleman looked straight into his eyes and quietly asked "How much will you need?" I couldn't hear what the young man said but watched as the older man pulled several bills from his wallet and calmly placed them in the young mans' hands.
I don't know if the young man actually used this money for breakfast or for some other purpose.
What I do know is that I witnessed two completely different reactions to the same situation. I saw people who were either afraid or annoyed or distrustful. And then I saw this man who was not afraid and treated the homeless man as though he were a brother. I decided then and there that, even though we have to be careful in this world, I would rather be like him.
May this day bring us many opportunities for kindness... ;-)
Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like YouBe a friend. You don't need money
Be a friend. You don't need money;
Just a disposition sunny;
Just the wish to help another
Get along some way or other;
Just a kindly hand extended
Out to one who's unbefriended;
Just the will to give or lend,
This will make you someone's friend.
Be a friend. You don't need glory.
Friendship is a simple story.
Pass by trifling errors blindly,
Gaze on honest effort kindly,
Cheer the youth who's bravely trying,
Pity him who's sadly sighing;
Just a little labor spend
On the duties of a friend.
Be a friend. The pay is bigger
(Though not written by a figure)
Than is earned by people clever
In what's merely self-endeavor.
You'll have friends instead of neighbors
For the profits of your labors;
You'll be richer in the end
Than a prince, if you're a friend.
Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like YouFaith is knowing that one of two things will happen.
When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step into the darkness of the unknown. Faith is knowing that one of two things will happen. There will be solid ground to stand on or you will be taught to fly.
Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like YouWe believe that this is a beautiful universe
We are the decent people of the world. We are in the majority, for men and women are essentially decent. We live in all nations, we live under all the flags that fly.
Decency is not determined by our economic status, our religion, the language we speak, the color of our skin, or the ideology under which we live. Human decency is a universal quality.
We, the decent people of the world, often have our voices drowned out by the shouts of leaders who misrepresent the things for which we stand.
We the decent people carry enough weight to tip the scale for decency if we will make ourselves heard...
We believe that war is the great indecency, that it kills and destroys all the higher sensibilities of man and leaves only death, suffering, and destruction in its wake.
We believe that this is a beautiful universe and that it is made for love and not for hate; for peace and not war; for freedom and not slavery; for order and not riot; for compassion and not violence; for happiness and not misery.
We believe that there is only one war to be waged in the name of human decency, and that is the war against all the common enemies of man... hunger, disease, poverty, ignorance, crime and failure.
We believe that every child should have the chance to grow up in an atmosphere of faith, not of fear.
We believe that the ultimate decency is to help men and never harm men, to lift men and not degrade men, and to respect the dignity of all men as individual human beings.
We the decent people of the world stand for the kind of life that will be good for all of the people, all of the time, everywhere."
Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like YouYou are meant to be whatever you dream of becoming
Always aim higher than you believe you can reach. So often, you'll discover that when your talents are set free by your imagination, you can achieve any goal.
If people offer their help or wisdom as you go through life, accept it gratefully. You can learn much from those who have gone before you. But never be afraid or hesitant to step off the accepted path and head off in your own direction if your heart tells you that it's the right way for you.
Always believe that you will ultimately succeed at whatever you do, and never forget the value of persistence, discipline, and determination.
You are meant to be whatever you dream of becoming.
Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like YouHE's THE MAN
"HE's THE MAN"
I came to the point of being hopeless
No one to ask for help
I run, I scream and even cry
I cried but no tears fell from my eyes.
I want to die to stop the burden
Go back to the womb of my mother
To be safe and feel the unconditional love
Because this world hurts me a lot.
I have enough reason to rest in peace
Until I feel the tight embrace
He whispers, "Don't quit my dear, I am here to help..."
That simple line gives me enough strength.
Because He was undeniably powerful
helps me even when I am sinful
Saves me from being miserable
Opens my eyes to a new bright dimension

Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like YouONE SMILE
"ONE SMILE"
Smile is a curved, they say
That sets everything straight;
It can take all the worries away
And bring love instead of hate.
Just a smile can make a day
And sinners kneel and pray;
Gone are the frowns without a trace
As if thrown away like waste.
A smile can make you younger
While wrinkles make you older;
Laugh your heart out is better
And never let problems be a bother.
A smile can help gain more friends
Who will stand by you till the end?
It can help you find your one great love
Sent by our Father from up above.
A smile assures everything’s alright
And erases our fears and doubts;
It can make people feel glad
And forget things that made them sad.
A smile brings people closer
And break walls and barriers;
It can erase all our hatred
And let our care rekindle.
Just a smile… and what it can make
A hate-free world’s what it can create;
No more pain and misery to feel
Only love, peace and hope… for real.
Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like YouSmiles
Smiles
Smile a little, smile a little,
As you go along,
Not alone when life is pleasant,
But when things go wrong.
Care delights to see you frowning,
Loves to hear you sigh;
Turn a smiling face upon her,
Quick the dame will fly.
Smile a little, smile a little,
All along the road;
Every life must have its burden,
Every heart its load.
Why sit down in gloom and darkness,
With your grief to sup?
As you drink Fate's bitter tonic
Smile across the cup.
Smile upon the troubled pilgrims
Whom you pass and meet;
Frowns are thorns,and smiles are blossoms
Oft for weary feet.
Do not make the way seem harder
By a sullen face,
Smile a little, smile a little,
Brighten up the place.
Smile upon your undone labor;
Not for one who grieves
O'er his task, waits wealth or glory;
He who smiles achieves.
Though you meet with loss and sorrow
In the passing years,
Smile a little, smile a little,
Even through your tears.

Plant Seeds of Wisdom
Words are also seeds, and when dropped into the invisible spiritual substance, they grow and bring forth after their kind. "Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles" (Mathew 7:16). Farmers and gardeners choose their seed with the greatest care. They reject every defective seed they find and in this way make sure of the coming crop. To have prosperity in you home you will have to exercise the same intelligent discrimination in the choice of your seed words.
Next time I open my mouth I will think twice if that is the seed which I want to plant!
Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like YouThis is now
This is now. Now is,
all there is. Don't wait for Then;
strike the spark, light the fire.
Sit at the Beloved's table,
feast with gusto, drink your fill
then dance
the way branches
of jasmine and cypress
dance in a spring wind.
The green earth
is your cloth;
tailor your robe
with dignity and grace.
~ Rumi
