Peace Love And Happiness CAN WE ??


Can We Eat More Than our Hunger?
Can We Drink More Than What We Are Thirsty Of?
Can We Sleep More Than What Our Body Wants?
Can We breath More Air Than What We Require?
Can We Laugh more Than Our Heart Will Let Us?
Can We Hold Sand In Our Hand?
Can We Acquire and Never Loose It?


NO WE CAN NOT But..........
We Can Love More than What We Are Doing Now.
We Can help More People Than We Are helping Now.
We can Bring Smiles TO More People Around.
We can Share and Feed The Hungry.
We Can Love More and hate Less.
We Can Laugh More and Cry Less...


So Concentrate on What We CAN And Stop trying to DO What WE CANT.

The Miser, Use What Talent You Have Inside Before you Forget That You Have That Talent


A miser sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of
an old wall and went to look at daily.

One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it.


The miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations.

A neighbour, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there.

It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."


Moral : God gives us many talents and gifts which we may be happy to possess but never use. It could be a great voice or a gift for acting or dance or drawing. Are we not just like the miser, cherishing our gold but not putting it to use?

By The River........


She was 20 and he was 26. They met by the river one May afternoon. She was from the city and he lived in the small town of St. Anne. She was a city girl who loved the outdoors; simple and carefree. He was a young man who nursed his grief, who loved to be alone and who shut himself off from seeing the real beauty of life. They were complete opposites.

"Hi!" she said. She is petite and looks younger than her age, unusually pale but there was some glow in her small eyes. She's wearing a brown leather hat. He's sitting at the big roots of a mango tree at the riverbank, waiting for any fish that will bite his bait.

He looks up and frowns as he sees the unfamiliar face. He looks back at the river and says, "Ello".

She sits beside him. "Mind if I sit here?"

"You're already sitting there", he says without looking at her face.

She just shrugs her small shoulders. "My name is Gessana", she says after a long silence. "What's your name?"

"Arthur."

After that they remain silent, and after several more minutes she tells him that she will go home now. Her cousin might be looking for her. He just nods.

The following afternoon, she finds him again in the same spot.

"Hi! Please, do you mind if I sit here again?" she happily asks.

A simple nod is his answer. She's wearing a yellow dress and she looks very fragile.

"Where do you stay?" he asks her after she fully settled on the big stone beside the big roots where he sits.

She smiles. "Keanne is my cousin and she invited me to spend my summer vacation here."

He nods again.

"I like it here, the place, this river, and the quiet environment." She closes her eyes and leans back on the mangoes' bark.

He looks at her then looks back at the water.

"Is that all?" he asks.

She opens her eyes. "Hmmm, it is relaxing in here, I like the green grass and the feel of the rough mango bark on my back. The warm stone I sit on. Everything!"

"Nature lover, huh?"

"Hmmm, sort of. How about you?" She looks at him.

He shakes his head negatively. "Nothing."

She frowns. "Nothing?"

He nods.

"Hmmm, hearing it is something new!" she says jubilantly. "But honestly, a person has always something on himself; beauty, joy, cravings, even loneliness and desperation. There is always something in a person's life."

And that was the beginning. They became friends, sharing that something and nothing.

But he lives in his dark past. She's the light that comes to lighten his world, but summer will end after two weeks and his world will be dark again.

"But you don't need to think sadness before it grips you", she says as they hold each other's hand under the mango tree at the riverbank.

"You will not enjoy life if you think of getting hurt someday. You will not feel what real love is if you restrain yourself from loving that special person wholly. Will you reap full trust if you sow only half? Interruptions come in a person's life and we can't stop them, nobody can. Someone we love might disappoint us, incurable sickness will embrace us, and some people will leave us behind. Well, it's natural. We don't know what's in store for tomorrow, so while we have the now, let's embrace it joyfully, thanking God for giving it to us, even for a short period. What matters is the lesson it teaches us, that there is always more to life than increasing its speed."

"Yeah, I guess so."

The following day is a cloudy day for him. As he cleans his closet, he sees the picture of the woman he loved before, he was about to marry, a woman whom he'd given all his devotion and understanding, a woman he adored, yet left him because of some foreign ambitions - unattainable if she remained in their small village. The grief and bitterness flows back to his heart like a strong current of the river.

She's been waiting for him for two hours already yet even his shadow isn't there. But she still waits... till the darkness envelopes the day and it's time for her to go home. Every day she waits for him at the riverbank until the summer is over; the summer of her heart.

September.

"Where does she live?" He is sitting in the living room of Keanne's house. She's looking grumpily at him.

"Please", he begs.

"Heaven."

He frowns. "Please tell me. I need to go to her and tell her how sorry am I."

She shakes her head. Then some small pearls of tears roll onto her cheek.

"She already passed away, two weeks ago. She had bone marrow cancer. You saw how pale she was? Of course you didn't see it, because you always looked down at yourself."

He sat by the river and wept silently, but tears would not return her from the grave. Then, he remembered what she said.

"Always enjoy the present because it was God's gift to us, and it's the only thing that we have now."

Do Not

Do Not
Undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different, that each of us is special.


Do Not...
Set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you..


Do Not...
Take for granted the things closest to your heart
Cling to them as you would your life for without them life is meaningless.


Do Not...
Let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past nor for the future
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.


Do Not...
Give up when you still have something to give
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other.


Do Not...
Be afraid to encounter risks
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.


Do Not...
Shut love out your life by saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly.


Do Not...
Dismiss your dreams
To be without dreams is to be without hope
To be without hope is to be without purpose.


Do Not...
Run through life so fast that you forget
not only where you have been but also where you are going.

I wish To be Forgiven

Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like You

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 .

We 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."

ONE 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.

Smiles

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.

This 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.

What we think, we become.

we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men.
It then appears that we are among the privileged."

But love, to some extent, protects you from age."
