Coming Through…

My Tuesday Trickles(Inspired by  Jacqueline) for this week:
Sometimes you find yourself at a point where nothing seems to be working.
Sometimes it feels like a tight corner
Sometimes it feels like you are at a cross road
Sometimes the world seems to be on top of you
Sometimes the load you carry is heavier than you thought it would be.

Here is a song especially for you written and song by Don Moen: Just an excerpt of the lyrics
God will make a way where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we can not see
He will make a way for you
He will be your guide, hold you closely to his side
with love and strength for each new day
He will make a way
He will make a way

So breath, You are coming through…

What are you WAITING…For?

Waiting…                          
Waiting can be tough
Waiting is never easy
You can’t have everything you want when you want it
You have to learn to wait
Learn to be patient

Everything comes at its own time
Just because you do not have it today doesn’t mean life has to stop

Keep doing what you can with what you have
Use the time you can have to do what you can
It will not always remain so
You will not always have to do without
Every waiting has an end
Patience does bring a rewarding reward

Thoughts and Life #8 – Life is a Cycle

Kids playing
Grandma laughing delightfully
Grandpa smiling and joins the fun

The old white brow remembers when the house was boisterous
Children have left and the nest is empty.
The wrinkled hands remembers so much more
The shaky hands are happy to hug the little ones
They are the fruits from those who left the nest earlier

Life is much simpler now
Things that use to matter no longer do
Life becomes all about little things that bring joy

Once young but now old
Life is now full of memories
Enjoy everyday of your life because you are going to come full cycle.

Looking out the Window…Stepping Out

Welcome to a brand new Friday! Here is peep into my work neighborhood. I was looking out the window early this morning trying to drink in some silence and meditate before my colleagues arrived. While admiring the trees on the outside it occurred to me that the window burglary bars hindered a clear view.

When i then decided to go outside i had clearer view and it was   beautiful.

Isn’t it funny how we can all be looking at the same thing but have different perspective to it depending on the angle each person is viewing it from.

So my thoughts on this flowed into a poem:

The view from the window feels safe
But the other side looks beautiful…inviting
What dangers lurk around the corner outside?
I want to have a better view, but it would mean stepping out
Should i, should i not?

It feels safe inside but i want to see more
I summoned courage and rose to my feet
I took few steps and out the door i walked
It was a beautiful view…clearer and cleaner
I could dance around enjoying the breeze

I began to see the world from a different perspective
I began to discover new things
It ushered in a new kind of freedom
It ushered in new possibilities
A view from the window was my starting point
Happy that i stepped out …so rewarding!

Lesson: Don’t let your life just roll by…step outside your comfort zone and discover great things you could achieve with your life.
You don’t have to have all the answers at the beginning, just step out.

Do have a great Friday!

A Wednesday shout out to my blogging community neighbors, readers and friends on social media

I am glad you are my neighbor
It would be lonely without you
You make me smile
You support me even when i am not making sense
You share my world and i share your world
A rare and great privilege for me
You have become my friend and family
I am so blessed to have you in my life
Thank you for being there!

Loads of Love

Life – Two Sides of the Coin

Great days, low days
Great accomplishments, little or no accomplishments
Helpful days, just plain days
Fast pace days, slow days
Happy days, discouraging days
Life is a mix of the two sides of the coins
Enjoy both sides of the coin
Do the little you can and seriously the good days will come rolling in again!

Splashes of Orange

Graceful , Bright and beautiful
Fearfully and wonderfully made
A pod budding into a flower
A beautiful, innocent flower
Ready to provide beautiful scent
Painting a beautiful scenery in the world

Don’t crush her; don’t stamp her into the dust
Let her blossom; let her grow; let her unfold her gifting
Let her mature; let her beautify your life as you treat her well
A whole lot of treasure abides in her but when crushed can disappear
You lose a fountain of great wealth and riches
Let her live; let her laugh; let her dream; let her blossom
To become a fountain of joy and treasure to you and the world

Time to end every form of violence against women & Girls
