This year I have definitely made some new friends. Book club, bowling… yadda yadda yadda. I’m gonna keep trying. Getting involved is good. I guess it’s just always gonna be a challenge to find people you really click with.
“The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing… not healing, not curing.. That is a friend who cares.”
I believe this with every inch of my being. First hand experience. Think about this when someone close to you is struggling. Often you don’t need to say anything much. Just be there with them and genuinely listen. It can mean the world.
“All healing is first a healing of the heart.”
-Carl Townsend
For a long time I was feeling sick constantly. But it was only when I started addressing my heart, that I started to feel better. This quote seems pretty right on. Now days people often ignore their heart/thoughts and emotions. In Western society we tend to focus on business and only physical ailments are considered legit, but the part we’re missing is that they are connected! In my opinion if we take care of ourselves mind, body, and spirit… we will be considerably more healthy.
All I need to do is take care of everything at my parents house so I’m 100% moved out, loose some weight, and buy some fitting clothes. Then I’m all set.
“People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered,
Love them anyway.
If you do good people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives,
Do good anyway.
IF YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL, YOU WILL WIN FALSE FRIENDS AND TRUE ENEMIES,
SUCCEED ANYWAY!
The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow,
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable,
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind,
Think big anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed over night,
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack if you help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you’ve got and you may get kicked in the teeth,
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.”
-Mother Theresa
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”
I was looking at quotes last night and picked out a few that made me feel empowered and positive about life. Not realizing that I posted this one once already I picked it out again. So being that it speaks to me that much I’m leaving both posts.
“They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”
“Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.”
this past sunday I went to my first bowling game. It was quite cool. I scored a 160. Which is really good for me. Woot for goals that are actually achieved!
92. A night chilling on my futon by candle light, watchin movies on my own. It’s called “relaxing” and it doesn’t happen that often.
I am a very sympathetic person. I feel for other people. That isn’t always a great attribute, though it makes me understanding of others. Often the problem is that I look too much into how I could affect or hurt other people. So much so that it hinders me. I then worry too much and become immobilized doing nobody any good, least of all myself. I need to relax, know my morals/beliefs in and out, and then trust that by really looking out instead of inward that I will be doing the right thing. By doing that I think I will find peace for myself and also enable myself to positively influence the world around me.
I need to bring this goal to the forefront again. The more I do things that are difficult for me the easier they become.
ok.. so I haven’t weighed myself in a while. But none of my jeans will stay on anymore. So I think thats a good sign. Even though I gotta buy new pants. SIgh
91. My apt. Being on my own and feeling relaxed! that was such a foreign concept to me before.
It’s funny how if we really want things in life they’ll come to be. I wrote this goal a while back and totally forgot about it. The other day at our family Easter party I agreed to join my cousins in a summer bowling league. Jumped on line today to see that I just achieved one of my things lol. If u want it bad enough it’ll come true one day whether it’s your sole focus or not!
I think I want it too much. I’m looking and I need to stop. Love isn’t forced or at least I don’t believe it is. If it’s to be it’ll happen. Fingers crossed I’ll figure it out one day.
90. Freshly popped Popcorn : ) ....”edited Dec 3,09: Which I cannot eat any longer. Darn wisdom teeth!”
I just graduated from an ITP. Gosh I sure hope I’m fluent. Haha well, an important realization is that language is dynamic. It’s always changing and people in different areas have different ways to express themselves. I will ALWAYS be learning. hey it makes life interesting. Woot! “Life long learners.”
FISH!!!! : ) Totally worth it! But working on something you love is a must. priceless.
Whew I’ve been working for four years now. Wow. It’s so close I can taste it but I can’t relax yet. One more week. One more week!
