CHAPTER 8, PAGE 19

DON’T LET GO OF HOPE

Hope gives you the strength to keep going

when you feel like giving up.

Don't ever quit believing in yourself.

As long as you believe you can,

you will have a reason for trying.

Don't let anyone hold your happiness in their hands;

hold it in your own,

so it will always be within your reach.

Don't measure success or failure by material wealth,

but by how you feel.

Our feelings determine the riches in our lives.

Don't let bad moments overcome you.

Be patient, and they will pass.

Don't hesitate to reach out for help;

we all need it from time to time.

Don't runaway from Love,

but towards love;

because it is our deepest joy.

Don't wait for what you want to come to you.

Go after it with all that you are;

knowing that life will meet you half way.

Don't feel like you've lost

when plans and dreams fall short of your hopes.

Anytime you learn something new about yourself,

or about life, you have progressed.

Don't do anything that takes away from your self-respect.

Feeling GOOD about yourself is essential

to feeling GOOD about life.

Don't ever forget how to laugh

or be too proud to cry.

It is by doing both

that we live life to the FULLEST.

Good Morning !

There were lots of joys and sorrows at my house this week. I guess we all have them. The UPS and DOWNS of life can ‘make us or break us’.  I still have lots of HOPE left and that's what keeps me going.

On this rainy cloudy summer morning, I’m sipping the gooood coffee and enjoying every lazy moment of it. Thank the good Lord for weekends!

I’m off to surf the internet to try and dig up something new for tomorrows post ! There’s bound to be something !

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Life is full of opportunities. We can choose to become aware of them or ignore them, to see their possibilities or set them up as limitations, to do something with themor let them pass us by.

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !
