I used to wonder if I would ever be really happy.
Then one day I realized that happiness doesn't just happen TO you. You have to participate. If there is something that you love to do, someone you love, people and activities that make you smile...then be with them, do them, surround yourself with them.
Every day, stop for a bit and marvel at this amazing gift of life you have been given with beautiful nature to bring peace to your heart. DO NOT dwell on the negatives. Instead, make sure that you allow yourself to be thankful and joyous about what you DO have.
I AM HAPPY. YOU CAN BE TOO.
Thought: HUGS CAN HEAL.
Be yourself. It is difficult to believe someone loves you unless you are showing them who you really are. Then you will know for sure that it is YOU whom they love, NOT some facade.
..............
There are people that you know who are leading lives of desperation and hiding it from you.
They need reassurance from those who care about them because they feel unlovable. YOU can make a difference in how they proceed in their lives.
So many children and adults feel left out and odd. Who is there for them to talk to? Not the ones who put them down or ignore their presence. Too many adults are wrapped up in what they want and in what they are doing. Children can innocently be self absorbed and (sometimes) cruel.
Take it upon yourself to be that person who is kind.
People need to hear encouraging words!
Please, give someone a kind word today. Words can heal wounds and improve the world we live in. It will make YOU feel better too if you are kind to others.
Tell the checker at the grocery store how well they do their job. Tell the child next door how nice he is. Let your neighbor know that you notice them. Thank people for their kindness.
BE that person.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ENJOY LIFE!!

CookieZeal : To a loving spirit! on October 3I was tickled on how much you and I view those who are in ordinary paths, such as the grocery store. In fact, my sister and I are doing a card line with jobs as the theme.
I was thinking about the ones who gather the carts to the store. What they think about. What makes them 'blend' into such a mundane scenario. And it is where I have the chance to realize..." Ah HAH! So this is my opportunity to be kind, to pray for them..that they go beyond the call."
I ask the Lord to give them a 'nudge' of love so they sense esteem which can only come from a greatfuture-minded God!
Nice page, my dear friend!

CookieZeal : You are loved! on June 1All souls await our appreciation and many appreciate that, but you are one of the few who pick out something very intricate, yet overlooked, and bring it to the table.
I love your spirit, your place in this universe that happens to cross this moment in time and cyberspace with me! Oh. I'm so picked out!
