Life is not always what one wants it to be,
but to make the best of it, as it is, is the only
way of being happy.
Did any one of us expect to be doing, today, what we each are doing?
I like many thought about having children, a particular kind of home,
a certain career, but I don't think none of us we really anticipate all that
life has wrought? Divorce maybe, money struggles was certainly not
something I wanted in the big picture, but it happens.
Have a bit of closure knowing life is measured out according to our needs.
The choice to be happy with what is, is ours to make, every moment.
Make it happen.
Today's experiences, feelings and faith will move you
a step closer to lasting happiness.
~Quoted by Barbara Grizzuti Harrison~
To have a crisis and act upon it is one thing.
To dwell in perpetual crisis is another.
The mixture of the calm with the storm is not haphazard.
Quite the contrary. Your growth is at the center of each.
Trust its message
Always be aware of the people around you. Acknowledge
them if it is right and you feel comfortable. Be thankful
for all they could and are offering you.
Life indeed presents us with an assortment of blessings; some bring us
immediate joy; some invite tears; others foster fear. What we need help in
understanding is that all experiences are meant for our good, all bless us in
some manner. If we are able to see the big picture, we'd greet all situations,
large and small, with a thankful heart.
Each morning, when we all awake,
is blessing number one.
To be human is to have doubts and fears. But as faith grows,
our doubts and fears lessen. The good days will increase in number.
Look forward with hope, never backward.
Make that your best effort every day.
Self pity may beckon today. But remember, fortunately, you have
learned you do have other choices.
Be alert to the opportunities to share yourself
and cherish the freedom that is offered.
