Something to think about today

[babydoll2u]

Re: Great to see everyone this weekend!

Wow! So many visitors over the weekend. Interesting how much interest you can generate with the subject of friends. It’s obvious how important they are to all of us.

Thanks to all that stopped by and offered their own thoughts on the subject.

Denae - Nice to see you as always
TNT - Welcome to the thread
JG - Thanks for sharing
RD - Another newcomer, welcome
BD – Friends are special indeed

May we all notice and appreciate them before they are lost…

I truly hope we do....

Life is a time for learning
We must learn that our Life is as important
as that of any other person on Earth,
but never more important. We must learn
that we have every right to Happiness,
yet it is up to us to find and recognize it.
We must learn that Life is not easy
nor is it permanent, others will come and go,
and often their departure will cause us pain.
We must learn to develop a positive attitude
That can handle Life's disappointments.
And we must learn that in order to find Love,
we must look inside our own Heart.
For if we can't find it within,
we will never find it without.

my thoughts for the day


and if everyone could send positive vibes to my sons hockey team today we are playing to qualify for states and need a win tonight...
xoxoxo thanks

Thank you my dear for such stirring thoughts today. Humble thoughts indeed.

How many of us know what really makes us happy? And how many of us look to our hearts for those answers?

Life can indeed be full of disappointments and even heart ache. Yet we must each learn to move on. To move forward with a positive attitude. To search out our own happiness within our heart.

May we all find such love and peace… Best wishes to you all in your respective journeys.

Exactly what I'm learning to do... look to my own heart for answers. That, in itself, is a humbling experience.

"Moving on" is difficult, at best... painful, but worth the effort, especially if we are able to do so with a positive attitude, knowing that the end goal is in sight... and that would be happiness for ourselves as well as our loved ones. To try and "move on" with anything other than a positive attitude would not only defeat the purpose of moving forward, but serve to make those we claim to love, nothing but miserable.

True happiness can only be achieved by inwardly searching ourselves, changing what needs to be changed... both within ourselves and in our lives... and moving forward with a determination that noone... not even me... is going to undermine what I have accomplished and hope to accomplish.

Just my thoughts...

peggy you have said a mouthful. If you do not find happiness from inside you will always be looking for it from an outside source. And they can only suopply that temporarily before you start loooking for the next person to fill you with happiness. And those people are doomed to live their life always looking for something else...or something better. I feel so sorry for those people. Someone sent me a poem that I want to share with you




As children bring their broken toys with tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God because He was my friend.
But then instead of leaving him in peace to be alone
I hung around and tried to help with ways that were my own.
At last I snatched them back and cried "How can you be so slow?"
"My child," he said, "What could I do? You never did let go."

I love this poem... I have it on a plaque.

All great thoughts

Good stuff dcraz. By the way, I heard some nice things about you.

So much discussion of love and friends lost. As someone still new here, I will concentrate on love and new friends found.

I think alot of this discussion has to do with strengthening the friendships we have, rather than with friendships lost? At least that's what I've understood.
We should concentrate not only on friendships we already have, but on new friendships as well as friendships yet to come, and treat each just as delicately and lovingly as the other.

just more of my thoughts

Babydoll,

Agreed. I didn't mean to drag things down. Was just referring to the posts about letting go and moving on.

I like this too.

For someone new, I have found some wonderful friends very quickly. Thank you each and every one of you.

No love yet, but you never know!

There are indeed some wonderful people here on Lit. And I can vouch for everyone on this thread. And I am not just saying that because they post here.

And be sure you keep your eyes open, you never know when love will jump out and bite you! Often when you least expect it. Sometimes when you are not even looking for it.

You heard good things about me? Surely you jest! But thanks for the public pat on the back. People that know me will tell you, I am just me. Nothing more. Nothing less.

And yes, new friends and even love abound here.

Yup, he is just him.... a loving and loyal friend.

Thank you Babydoll. You are the kindest.

My thought for the day today is a quote from JFK.

"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

So today, I will work a little harder, reach a little higher and love with more passion so that I may grow from the experiences.

Hey dcraz!

JFK was a little before my time, but I love the quote.

I have never backed down from a challenge. I always welcome the chance to push my own limits. It's what helps me grow.

And I like your thought too. To take everything you do, and do your very best. I hope I can grow today too . So I will plegde to reach higher, love with more passion and give more of myself to those that will have me.

Good morning to you TNT. Thanks for stopping by!

I think our attitudes make the difference. A great attitude breeds success and spreads to others around us. I have no doubt you will find growth as you reach, love and give today.

As for those that will have you, keep your head up and your heart open. While not everyone accepts what we have to offer, I firmly believe that love and self offerred will lead us to someone happy to have us. We each have our own needs for acceptance. And for each need, there is another willing to give back. We just need to find them and then be willing to let them give to us in return.

Good luck to you my dear.

A few thoughts regarding being a better listener

'Drawing on my fine command of the language, I said nothing.'

'Better to remain quiet be thought the fool than to speak and remove all doubt'

It is not what we want that we get the most of in life. Appreciate what you have, lest you lose it. There are many that have less than you.

That is so true Lonely Knight. I remind myself of that constantly especially when I think about my job. I may not be happy right now, but I do have a job and have incredible health benefits.

Welcome to Lit Lonely Knight.
