Its a beautiful day
Its a beautiful day. The heat may be unforgiving, problems may abound, money may be low, dreams may fade…
Don’t worry, its still a beautiful day. The fact that you are still alive, your families and friends are beside you, and God will never leave you no matter what you think.
You may cry, you may whine, you may tear your clothes and your hair but remember hope will never fade, it will always be there hiding until you have the temerity to open your eyes and notice the simple things, the little, inconsequential things of life. More often than not, these are the things that abound in hope and hope abounds in them.
There may be times that failure is more easier to accept than hope. It may seem that failure is more tangible than hope, which makes it all the more convincing. Don’t be convinced. Failure is just the culmination of your fears, of your lack of faith in yourself, lack of faith in the people around you who loves you more than you think possible. Failure is failure if you let it be. Take charge of your life and look at failure as a bitter pill to swallow. Accept it, and see it as it really is - A Challenge. Remember, failures are just challenges in wolves’ clothings. You just need to open your eyes and your heart and everything will fall into place.
You do not need to do anything, just open your mind, open your heart and the realization that it is always a beautiful day no matter what will come. Failures are challenges and problems are merely detours on your way to success. It is a beautiful day.
The Value of a Woman
I found this really enlightening poem about women and I would like to share it to all of you…
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don’t take “no” for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They’ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have the compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
The Sad Little Red Pig and the Lonely Little Girl
A lonely little girl living in a little shack by the mountain side once wanted to have a pet - it does not matter what kind of pet as long as she has one. There is one problem though; the little girl has barely enough to feed herself, certainly not enough to feed a pet. But she wanted a pet with all her heart that she is even willing to give her pet half of whatever food she gets. The little girl patiently waited for her pet to come, day after day, she would spend her waking hours looking out the window hoping, yearning for a pet that may never come.
On the other side of the mountain, a sad little red pig, shunned by others of his kind because of his funny red color cried himself to sleep every night. With no friend to comfort him, he wandered the mountain side and came upon the little girl’s shack. The little red pig wanted to knock but he was afraid. Very afraid. What if whoever lives there would turn him away? He could not face another rejection. He could not face being laughed at again. So he turned away without knocking. Just then, the little girl came to the window and saw the little pig slowly walking away from her door, from her life. She quickly ran outside and called the little pig.
“Little pig, I love your lovely color, will you be my pet? Will you be my friend?”
The little pig could not believe his ears, he could not believe his eyes. Is this a dream? The little pig slowly turned around and walked towards the little girl, “Are you for real?”, asks the little pig, “Do you really want me to be your friend? What are you going to do with an ugly red pig like me? You are better off with another pet, any pet.”
“But it is you I want, you have such a lovely color. Do you know that red is my favorite? And you are my favorite pig. Please stay with me, I am so lonely.”
A little tear fell from the little pig’s eyes and the little girl hugged the little pig, comforting him, and he comforting her. Both found what they were looking for and both knew they belonged to each other. The little girl and the little red pig help each other face each day, it does not matter if they have barely enough to eat, as long as they’re together the bad times turn into good times and suffering is not as unbearable as before. Together they face each problem, together they lived not happily ever after - life after all is not a fairy tale - but as comfortable as possible. They are content, they have each other. Never again will they be lonely, never again will they face problems alone. The little Red Pig and the Little Girl are no longer sad or lonely. They have each other and in their hearts and minds that make up for everything they’ve been through.
