      “ I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom. ” As I was riding on the bus headed for home , I was thinking about a conversation I had with my co worker today. We were talking about spending time alone.She enjoys being alone with herself and so do I. I hear people complain about being alone or being at home & how bored they get.I have to say , I never   very rarely get bored.There is always something I want to do.There are books ,crafts,journals ,blogs... so much to keep me occupied for hours & hours!Ofcourse ther are always things to be done around the house as well!I don't like not doing anything....ever.I must have a book or something else to do.I often wonder why that is? Maybe I'm over analyzing it.I just really enjoy the creative process. I take my crochet or sewing with me when I go out.Today I took my crochet project with me on the bus .I can do that with out becoming dizzy or nauseated which is the the case when I ...

The power of positive thinking can change and improve your life. So.. Keep your thoughts positive!!! ♥ “ You've done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination. ” A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. Whatever the mind expects, it finds. Keep as SMILE in your heart!

The elderly patients at my job frequently complain about  the hardships of old age ."Don't get old!"  they exclaim. I smile and respond , "Ok...tell me how to avoid it!!" .Today I actually got an answer: : " Laughter ! You might as well have one good laugh a day...it'll keep your heart young and you'll need laughter if you're going to make it in this lufe!" Sounds like good advice to me! A laugh is a smile that bursts. ~Mary H. Waldrip What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul. ~Yiddish Proverb “ That is the best - to laugh with someone because you both think the same things are funny. ” All you need in the world is love and laughter. That's all anybody needs. To have love in one hand and laughter in the other. Everybody laughs the same in every language because laughter is a universal connection. Yakov Smirnoff I just got one last thing, I urge all of you, all of you, to enjoy your life, the precious moments you have...

When emotions are managed by the heart, they heighten your awareness of the world around you and add sparkle to life. The result is new intelligence and a new view of life. Just be sincere in your efforts and appreciate the progress you make, not expecting to be free from unpleasant emotions all at once. Each success builds more power and excitement. It gets easier as you go. When long-standing emotional issues lose some of their intensity and importance, things won’t bother you as much. ~ Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution

"What would it be like if you lived each day, each breath, as a work of art in progress? Imagine that you are a Masterpiece unfolding, every second of every day, a work of art taking form with every breath."

When you carry out acts of kindness you get a wonderful feeling inside. It is as though something inside your body responds and says, yes, this is how I ought to feel. ♥ So many gods, so many creeds, So many paths that wind and wind, While just the art of being kind Is all the sad world needs . ♥ Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves . When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.

“What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.” I hope to make 2010 a better year for my family and myself. I don't like making resolutions because I don't keep them.I do think though that I have goals that I should try very hard to make happen. I know that there's a lot I can do  if I push myself and not let allow myself to get consumed by my anxiety,depression and feeling of hopelessness.One of the things I need to work on is my health ,especially my weight. I don't want diabetes to be the death of me.I have enough damage caused by it already. I also need to stop isolating.that is a big thing.There are so many things,I could go on and on. The main thing is to spend lots of time and  have healthy ,harmonious relationships with the people I love. Without them,nothing else matters to me. This year the most awesome thing was that one of my dreams finally came true. My siblings (2 of them) resp...
