 Photo By Jim Warren ~~*~~ When a situation comes about which is hard to control in life The options we decide to take makes a difference in our toil and strife How we handle the circumstances thrown into our paths we walk Definitely affects our emotions of how we react and talk We can let these storms make us worry and fret and get us unhappy and down Then we will cry a lot of the time on our faces wearing nothing but a frown Or we can continue to count our blessings there are many of them around If we will but open up our minds an immeasurable number can be found Then we will not be worrying about those situations we have as much Our minds will be much more at ease as we will feel a peaceful touch ~~*~~ [This message has been edited by garysgirl (08-28-2003 01:25 PM).] |

I also thank you...this is such an eloquent reminder that we should focus on the blessings instead of the worry...and I am guilty of that, too!! Great thoughts here, and ones which I will take to heart, my good friend!! ~S~ Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |

Ethel, yes, dear wise one. Your words are so true. I am just a bit concerned as to why you may have written this pep talk to yourself. I hope all is well with you.  Linda |

Hi Ethel .... How we handle the circumstances thrown into our paths we walk Definitely affects our emotions of how we react and talk A poem filled with lots of wise lines and insight. I especially like the above lines. Handling stressful circumstances makes me a very cranky lady!!!  Hugs, Marti |

 If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

Hey Ethel, I could have used that poem last night, as I was having a hard time...and after reading it today I am reminded that only I can control my emotions when people test me. You reminded me to look around and count what I do have as opposed to thinking of all the things that I don't. Thank You )))hugs((( Tima |

Wandering Glider Kaoru Sunny Linda Marti Glenn Vandana Sue Ceinwyn Tima Crystal...... . . Do ya'll know just how much I appreciate every one of you? All of you are just so sweet to me. Sometimes I let the troubles of this life stress me out, but I really do have so much to be thankful for. I write about a lot of my blessings, so ya'll know some of them. I never could tell of all my blessings because I really do have so many of them. All of you here at Passions are part of those blessings. Thank you all so very much for being here.  Heart hugs to all of you Ethel |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Ethel, I believe in this ever so much, sweet friend, it saddens me to see so many get too hard on themselves for the mistakes they've made, we're all only human and that's forgivable, and there's no shame in that, just shame in letting it all go unforgiven! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
