I hope that, through my blogging (and photography and scrapbooking), I have been able to pass on my appreciation of the beauty of words. As adults we all need to stop occasionally and look at ourselves and our circumstances with an open mind and a sense of humor, and remember to appreciate the simple things in life, which are often the most important.
Wish List
To our enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, our heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To ourselves, respect.
~~ Oren Arnold ~~
The love of God enfolds us.
The power of God protects us.
The presence of God watches over us.
Wherever we are God is and all is well.
Sometimes it is the quietest moment in your day that carries the biggest impact.
No matter what anyone else tells you, you really know what's best for you. Your friends and family mean well when they give you their opinions, but in the end, it is up to you.
Forgive quickly.
Kiss slowly.
Love truly.
Laugh uncontrollably.
Never regret anything that made you smile.
Don't you just hate it when you really need to update your blog and draw a blank? Well, one of the best ways to jump start those creative juices is to simply look at the calendar. How simple is that?
Every month, week, and day, there are some really strange, fun, and downright funny holidays and observances celebrated everywhere. In fact, you can even make up your own 'holiday' to celebrate on your blog with your readers - that's how easy it is to come up with days of posts at a time. But you don't have to make it up yourself. It's hard enough coming up with a post. Here's a blogging calendar I found that feature some of these holidays. The other nice thing is, it has room to jot down your own ideas and you can use it to literally plan out the year's content - or just a month or two ahead if you're not the planning type. This really helps keep your blog going without rushing to write last minute posts.
Download and check it out for yourself. I bet you can find a couple of posts just off those dates you can write about. In fact, you can write about them right away and schedule them. Your readers will have fun and marvel at how you are so on top of the holidays and seasons.
Be kinder than necessary . . . because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass . . . it's about learning how to dance in the rain.
The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just a little extra.
If you spend all your time organizing your life, you can miss the joys of experiencing life.
Believe in yourself -- in the power you have to control your own life, day by day. Believe in the strength that you have deep inside, and your faith will help show you the way. Believe in tomorrow and what it will bring -- let a hopeful heart carry you through. For things will work out, if you trust and believe there's no limit to what you can do.
~~ Emily Matthews ~~
A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
~~ Albert Einstein ~~
You have to Be the change you want to see it in the world.
~~ Mahatma Ghandi ~~
Practicality aside, we have to follow our hearts. Never giving up is a virtue.
