After a difficult day
yesterday, I felt exhausted. Drained but at the end of the day I was so happy
to get a message from someone very special to me. Gosh it lifted me so high. It
really was the best gift. It was a gift of hope.
We all need hope of some
kind in life, don’t we? What is life without hope? I was reading that if you
are positive in life, you live longer. I joked with friends saying heck, I’m
dead already. Haha. My glass has been half empty most of my life, though
friends say I am the most positive person they know. Really? Gosh, who do they
know? Moreover, how many people do they know? Many years ago, I was very positive.
But life taught me that positivity doesn’t always work in the long run. Though studies
show differently!
Life can be like an arrow;
an arrow has to be pulled backwards before it launches forward. Remember nothing
is impossible, break that word up put it into two words. I’m possible.
Dreams do come true,
something happened in my life this year I was so excited about. I felt alive. For
so long it has been a dream and that dream came true but because I am not the
most positive of people, I’m waiting to wake up and my dream will be over. I keep
waking up and still my dream is before me. So, dreams really do come true many
times in my life that has been proven. I have nightmares though, still, but
thankfully I also have dreams that have and I hope will, come true.
Here are some great quotes.
Maya Angelou
Try to be a rainbow in
someone else’s cloud.
Dr Seuss
Sometimes you will never
know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
I love this from Ella Fitzgerald
It isn’t where you came
from, it’s where you are going that’s what counts.
Today is a beautiful one. Full
of sunshine a gentle blow of warm kind wind and lovely fragrances is in the
air. An ice cream van has just rang its bells but not in our avenue of all
sorts. But in the main section so no way I could find it also the vans don’t
wait more than thirty seconds before moving on. I imagine people chasing the
van down the street, but in reality, how many people actually get ice creams
from vans now days?
Today I spoke with my good
friend Sheila. She is the best company. We talk every day on messenger. She gets
me and I get her. I love the internet. I can talk with Sheila in America,
Carrie Ann in Canada and receive emails from my most loved Louise in South
Africa as well as all of my friends on facebook.
I have been watching UTube
too. Videos of people singing mainly brides walking down the isle to their
future husbands singing either the bride or the groom. One video I watched was
a beggar who walked into a church in Brazil. He asked to sing. To hear him
talking you would never imagine he would be able to sing, but wow, when he did,
he was wonderful.
Singing is funny isn’t it? How
some people can, whereas others some can’t or at least they think they can’t.
Singing can be such a joy. My Husband sang in a church in America and it was
one of my proudest moments. Wow, I couldn’t stop beaming. He made me so very
proud.
That was a happy memory. I have
few of those but the ones I have are treasured. I have lots of memories, some
so unique. But few that actually fill me with joy. That is why I really
appreciate happy memories. They are a gift for sure.
What are you all up to this
weekend? My poor Son is working all weekend. Even Sunday. I really worry about
him. He doesn’t sleep well and he works all hours as well as goes to the gym
for up to three hours every single day. But he never looks awake, he is always
tired. I’m not surprised. It’s awful when our kids are grown up and we no
longer can look after them. I really hate it. I just want to hug my boy feed
him and know he is sound asleep in a nice bed. I then wish he could wake up and
have some lovely people waiting for him to go and have some fun. He is so young
but his youth is waisted sadly. What does a parent do when their children are
grown up? Wait for Grand children? But the gap in between and what if their
children never have kids of their own? Is a parent retired when their child
reaches adulthood?
I would like to think we are
going for a lovely walk this weekend but I think it’s going to be more like
something indoors as it’s going to rain all weekend.
Now especially for Vicki
