Diary of the journey on the path least traveled..just letting the heart do the talking while the fingers do the walking while being different, being me… 🙂
Note; AI is not used here on the path under any circumstances!.. 🙂
Hello Diary,
Taking a brief break this Sunday morning, while preparing for life's challenges and storms, to share a few thoughts.. I started sharing a few thoughts back in 2006 using Yahoo 360 and I have seen many changes over time, some good and some not so good, but change is the law of life so I have adjusted the sails so I can continue down the path and follow my dreams, while dealing with the aging process as I am no longer 20 years old (when I thought I were nine foot tall and bullet proof) and work with others to hopefully make this world a better place for all creatures, large and small.. 🙂
As for the storms and challenges, climate and weather wise, they are predicting the possibility of severe weather the next couple of days and the possibility of winter type cold the end of the week, so making ready for those storms… 🙂
Then there are the social storms where elements of today's world societies, home and abroad, that will (and have) resort to conflict and adversity in order to deny change and impose their ideology on others, and sadly, as history has proven, all they will succeed in doing is sow the seeds of hate and anger, to lie dormant for a time and one day bloom again and history will repeat itself… 🙂
It is enough to add to depression, but not here on the path… and rather than ramble on, I will share some thoughts by Annie, the Seekers, Whitney and Mariah and others… 🙂
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victors cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit!
(Wade Watts)
Time flies, and memories fade.
People change and new friendships are made.
Only the true remain forever at our side.
Eventually the disappointment and pain will subside.
It is all about the journey and what has yet to come.
Life is what you make of it; you are what you've become.
Life is too short to hold onto regrets.
Forgiveness is key even though you may never forget.
Cherish the good and remove the bad.
Some people don't realize till it's gone what they've had.
Moving on is a way of life.
There will always be obstacles, pain, and strife.
You must believe that you are strong enough to fight.
You have to believe in yourself to do what is right.
Always do for YOU no matter what you do,
Because in the end the only one who has your back is you.
Never be afraid to take a stand,
And always be willing to lend a helping hand.
A little bit goes a long way.
All it takes is a smile to brighten someone's day.
Your chance to live is now, so what are you waiting for?
The world is yours for the taking and so much more.
Endless possibilities are forever at your disposal.
The chance to live another day is life's golden proposal.
Never let anyone tear you down,
And never let anyone steal your shine and make you frown.
So will you sit in the shadows and let darkness win again?
Or will you rise up and make the light your friend?
(Hollianne Boucher)
Hope is a feather floating in a bright blue sky
Hope is that sparkle that shines in your eyes.
Hope is a butterfly fluttering on the wind
Hope is good times spent with family and friends.
Hope is a newborn baby's cry
Hope is a Mother's lullaby.
Hope is the rainbow after a rain
Hope is the harvest of golden grain.
Hope is the light that keeps darkness at bay
Hope is the breeze on a hot summer day.
Hope is ever present and free of cost
Hope is the last thing ever lost.
Hope is staying positive when the going gets tough
Hope is seeking help when you feel you've had enough.
Hope is recovery from simmering sorrow
Hope is believing in a brighter tomorrow.
(Linda Hotger)
Well, I had better close for now… have more preparations to deal with and dreams to follow "The only thing that stands between you and your dream is the will to try and the belief that it is actually possible." (Joel Brown), but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin' and the creeks don't rise… 🙂
Hope all is well in your part of the universe, life is all that you wish for it to be and until we meet again… 🙂
May your spirit only know peace
May your heart only know love
May all your dreams come true
May your life's path be paved with happiness
And life is all that you wish for it to be….
May the love that you give
Always return to you,
That family and friends are many
And always remain true,
May your mind only know peace
No suffering or strife,
May your heart only know love and happiness
On your journey through life.
(Larry "Dutch" Woller)
