I was the only one who could make it happen. I wouldn't let my pain rule my day. I made some healthy choices and learned to live each day as it came, not look into the past or project into the future. Just live each day as it comes. Some days i can, some days I can't, and that is okay.

If you want to beat traffic. . . Pick some fruit!! Yesterday it took me an hour and fifteen minutes to go 10 miles. I was frustrated. I was powerless. I was exhausted. I was grateful. I was victorious. I was energized. Heavy traffic volumes are a fact of life in any big city. Many of the local governments fund road improvement programs, only to close lanes as they improve the roads. Lanes close, traffic increases, people get more frustrated and distracted, they have accidents, they cause more traffic pile-ups. It's a vicious cycle. It is often said that a person's first reaction in times of crisis tells a lot about that person. I say that a person's reaction while traveling six inches per minute tells even more about that person. Sitting in traffic is one of the best times to pick some fruit. Pick some patience. . . You'll be able to relax. After all, you'll be sitting there for a while anyway. Pick some peace. . . Try something different --- instead of listening to the radio traffic reports about the traffic you're sitting in, turn the radio off. Play a classical CD. Or better yet, just enjoy the quiet time. Pick some kindness. . . Smile at the person in the car next to you. Now that's really different! Pick some love. . . Start a conversation with your spouse or child about something you know is bothering them. Time spent driving can be time spent talking and understanding each other. Pick some joy. . . Be thankful that you're not the person involved in the calamity that's causing the traffic. Pick some faith. . . Take this time to look up at the sky, observe the trees, marvel at the birds. Think about your own life. Then you'll know for sure that there is a God. Pick some gentleness. . . I know you have a cell phone, so pick it up and call someone you haven't spoken to in months. You still remember the number. Pick some goodness. . . Plan a good deed that you'll do for someone as soon as you get out of the traffic. Maybe there's something you can do immediately to help the person on the side of the road. Pick some meekness. . . No matter what kind of car you're riding in, understand that it's not by your own works that you were able to obtain it. Once you pick your fruit, your frustration, powerlessness, and exhaustion will transform into gratitude, victory and energy. You'll have a new outlook on life all because you pulled over, . . . and decided to pick some fruit. https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...eMdaej0ulzAZhP ~A Mountain Wings Original by C.

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...omfortzone.jpg I took a step and with new strength I’d never felt before, I kissed my Comfort Zone "goodbye" And closed and locked the door. I couldn’t let my life go by Just watching others win. I held my breath and stepped outside And let the change begin. I claimed to be so busy With the things inside my zone, But deep inside I longed for Something special of my own. I said it didn’t matter, That I wasn’t doing much I said I didn’t care for things Like diamonds, furs and such. I longed so much to do the things I’d never done before, But I stayed inside my Comfort Zone and Paced the same old floor. I used to have a Comfort Zone Where I knew I couldn’t fail The same four walls of busy work Were really more like jail. If you are in a Comfort Zone, Afraid to venture out, Remember that all winners were At one time filled with doubt. A step or two and words of praise, Can make your dreams come true. Greet your future with a smile, Success is there for you! - - Unknown https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...HdMm71oGsErSmH ad this or something similar on one of my sites. Have finally unearthed some of my books and found a poem on the same subject today when I was looking up a book called "I will lift up my eyes." The piece I remember told me that if I was in a comfort zone, I was in a danger zone and that comfort could be a place of complacency. Quote: The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature, and God. Because only then does one feel that all is at it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. - Anne Frank https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...o8uJ_CTl1o-UpQ |
http://angelwinks.net/images/faithpod/faithpod24.jpg I am an adult child of an alcoholic and an addict and have my codependent issues, and I am grateful that I went to AA first or I might have died in my disease. I went to AA to get sober and let go of my denial, went to NA for identification (always knew I was an addict), and went to AL-Anon to find myself, but that is where my issues were rooted. Grateful that in today, I don't have to pick up, no matter what as long as I connect to my God, and have the honesty, open mindedness, and willingness I need to stay clean, just for today. Wrote this a year ago, these are still true. I am given daily reprieve. I am still an addict. Just for today, I choose not to use. I am truly blessed and I pass that blessing on to you. |

A Hymn of Thanksgiving: http://www.animated-gifs.eu/holidays...iving/0037.gif How Good It Is To Thank The Lord Hymn How good it is to thank the Lord, And praise to Thee, Most High, accord, To show Thy love with morning light, And tell Thy faithfulness each night; Yea, good it is Thy praise to sing, And all our sweetest music bring. O Lord, with joy my heart expands, Before the wonders of Thy hands; Great works, Jehovah, Thou hast wrought, Exceeding deep Thine every thought; A foolish man knows not their worth, Nor he whose mind is of the earth. When as the grass the wicked grow, When sinners flourish here below, Then is there endless ruin nigh, But Thou, O Lord, art throned on high; Thy foes shall fall before Thy might, The wicked shall be put to flight. Thou, Lord, hast high exalted me With royal strength and dignity; With Thine anointing I am blest, Thy grace and favor on me rest; I thus exult o’er all my foes, O’er all that would my cause oppose. The righteous man shall flourish well, And in the house of God shall dwell; He shall be like a goodly tree, And all his life shall fruitful be; For righteous is the Lord and just, He is my Rock, in Him I trust. |
HUGS NOT DRUGS! http://angelwinks.net/images/iq/qcbutterfly307.jpg Bring soul into the world http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/1128633...42977/name/n_a "We live in a culture that is greatly biased against the imagination, because our culture is very materialistic, objective and literal. Our culture lacks soul, and doesn’t know it, although it experiences the consequences. When you don’t know what’s missing, then of course you don’t know what to bring in, even though you feel something is missing." “We live in a world that needs more soul, more meaning. We, as conscious beings, have, as our primary responsibility, at this time in human history, the task of bringing soul into the world, or releasing soul into the world. We do this, first of all, in ourselves and in our own personal world; then we do it in our groups – including family; then we do it in our society through our work, relationships and presence there.” - Higher Awareness -- Andrew Schneider From Higher Awareness Never thought I would ever get to the stage where I could find peace and serenity. http://www.animated-gifs.eu/phone-24...anets/0149.gif |

The Bear has been coming up for me recently, more than once, and I clicked on this link this morning, not my normal go to site and here is what I got:

There are links to other animals, perhaps you can identify with some of them. I also have a crystal with a bear carved inside of it. It is suppose to be the guardian of the dream time according to some cultures. http://www.spiritanimal.info/bear-spirit-animal/ Have also been meditating with another crystal with a spider carved in it. http://www.spiritanimal.info/spider-spirit-animal/ The spider means for me, going within and finding your own answers. http://www.angelwinks.net/images/na2.jpg |
My Sweet Friend http://angelwinks.net/images/iq/qcwi...yheartbear.jpg ~ A Friend Like You ~ There's lots of things With which I'm blessed, My problems have been few, But of all, this one's the best- To have a friend like you. In times of trouble Friends will say, "Just ask, I'll help you through it." But, you don't wait for me to ask, You just get up and do it! And I can think of nothing more That I could wisely do, Than know a friend, And be a friend, And have a friend like you. - Author Unknown |
http://www.angelwinks.net/images/riseset6.jpg Think every morning when the sun peeps through The dim, leaf-latticed windows of the grove, How jubilant the happy birds renew Their old melodious madrigals of love, And when you think of this, remember too 'Tis always morning somewhere, and above The awakening continents, from shore to shore, Somewhere the birds are singing evermore. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ~ |
