Wiki party v Pity party

My 1st xmas after 9 months of hell, seperation, mate now with wife and redundancy. Very well put I hope to try my very best to check out too!! Have a good one.

Thanks Elle. I make a lot of effort but I slip back! New Year on the horizon and the end is in sight!HOPE

The slip backs can be devastating Jackie and usually come when we are least prepared and/or able to cope...but there is a lesson in all of them and whilst we have hope...we will find a way

Aw ra best

Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others,
even the dull and ignorant, they have their story too.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others you may become vain and bitter; for there will always be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career; however humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your affairs; for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideas and everywhere there is real heroism.

Be yourself, especially do not feign affection.

Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment love is as perennial as the grass.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt that the universe is unfolding as it should.

Whatever your lessons and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful, strive to be happy....it is within you.

My very best wishes to all in Wikiville and hope all goes well for you on the 9th Elle

thanks ms elle what is happening on the 9th????/ dale i really like the "whether or not it is clear. etc i have to keep that in prespective ..u are so wise lady thanks

A small thought


A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"

The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it."

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.

Great men say, "Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness…. In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience."

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling...and even more beautiful, knows that you are the reason behind it!!
