Thankful

Thankful
November 22, 2018

I am feeling grateful today. Found these beautiful quotes.
1. “I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” —Gilbert K. Chesterton
2. “Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.” —Zig Ziglar
3. “Learn to be thankful for what you already have, while you pursue all that you want.” —Jim Rohn
4. “Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” —Oprah Winfrey
5. “ ‘Thank you’ is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.” —Alice Walker
6. “Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.” —Henri Frederic Amiel
7. “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” —Robert Brault
8. “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” —William Arthur Ward
9. “The way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement.” —Charles Schwab
10. “When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.” —Willie Nelson
11. “The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.” —Dalai Lama
12. “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” —Albert Einstein
13. “Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.” —Charles Dickens
14. “None is more impoverished than the one who has no gratitude. Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy.” —Fred De Witt Van Amburgh
15. “Some people grumble that roses have thorns; I am grateful that thorns have roses.” —Alphonse Karr

There comes a time for Every Season

November 10, 2018

A Time for Everything

There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:
 
    a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,
    a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,
    a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,
    a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
    a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,
    a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak,
    a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.
A time to work and a time to play.
A time to reap and a time to sow.
A time to start and a time to end.
A time to shine and a time to contempt.
A time to help and a time to be helped.
A time to sing and a time to cry.
A time to thrive and a time to wither.
A time to awake and a time to sleep.
A time to laugh and a time to cry.
A time to hasten and a time to slow down.
A time to understand others and a time to be understood.
A time to give and a time to receive.
A time to reflect and a time to rebound.
a time to think and a time to create.
A time to shout and a time to be in silence.
A time to be thankful and a time to be regretful.


There comes a time for everything and it is your sole duty to find your purpose. If you can’t find your purpose, you MUST find your passion, for your passion will lead you right to your purpose.

Broken

Lovely the Band
November 5, 2018

I don't get the name of this band, and why they named it that, but I do love this song!


I like that you're broken
Broken like me
Maybe that makes me a fool
I like that you're lonely
Lonely like me
I could be lonely with you
I met you late night, at a party
Some trust fund baby's Brooklyn loft
By the bathroom, you said let's talk
But my confidence is wearing off
These aren't my people
These aren't my friends
She grabbed my face and that's when she said
I like that you're broken
Broken like me
Maybe that makes me a fool
I like that you're lonely
Lonely like me
I could be lonely with you
There's something tragic, but almost pure
Think I could love you, but I'm not sure
There's something wholesome, there's something sweet
Tucked in your eyes that I'd love to meet
These aren't my people
These aren't my friends
She grabbed my face and that's when she said
I…
